卡珊德拉 (Cassandra)

While Fabiano Caruana rattled off lines and concepts, four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) gave proof of her divinatory skills by guessing the result of today’s game on the basis of precognition after White’s 21st move, thus giving the commentary a mystical perspective. Apparently she even claims to guess how Magnus Carlsen and Ian Alexandrovich Nepomniachtchi are going to spend their day off tomorrow, sharing her prophecies “pay-per-view” on chess.com Twitch Channel.
