Meier Qualifies vs. Shankland For Death Match 31

In the closest qualification month in history, GM Georg Meier barely eclipsed GM Tamir Nabaty on the final day to earn the right to compete against GM Sam Shankland. The two will square off Saturday, March 28 at 9 a.m. PST. The Death Match will be covered live on Chess.com/TV.

Hungover and heartbroken after yesterday. Chester FC lost in the cross border derby to Wrexham (A horrible place where everyone is mutated from inbreeding) 1 - 0.

Was also my first experience of an away game 'bubble match' The only ever non league fixture to require one. Basically as the risk of violence between fans is so high, we can only travel to the game on official coaches with a heavy police escort!

Calm down Matthew, Rugby is a gentleman's game. Leave that kind of language until the football tomorrow, when Liverpool get beat!

In honesty though I think Liverpool will win, would take a point right now.

Who else was disappointed with the Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquio fight?

On a different note, who here is rooting for the Wizards, Cavs, or Memphis in the NBA Playoffs? Because I definitely am!

Fight was the same as any other Mayweather fight. Shame it wasn't 5 years ago as Pacquio is a lot worse now whereas Mayweather is just as good if not better. Mayweather doesn't make for exciting fights but never getting punchex is a decent tactic when boxing. Man is a boxing genius to be fair!

Football's nearly finished for the year. Semi finals of the Champs League this week, Barca vs Bayern tonight

Also looking forward to the Premier League darts. Was a bit of drama last week World Champ Gary Anderson not a happy man when losing to Barney, a grumpy Scottish man who'd of thought it! Hope they play each other in the playoffs!!!

Okay lets bring a real mans game into this.
Hockey.
My bets since the beginning have been Rangers Vs. Ducks With Ducks winning out 3-4
But Now I'm pulling more for the Lightning and Ducks. Ducks still winning out 3-4.
I have full faith in the ducks to overcome the Blackhawks & win it all.
Getzlaf and Perry are just to good together, and they have such determination for the sport, its there time to win.
They are both turning 30 years old, and haven't won a cup since they were 22.

I'm all for the Ducks winning, but I thought you would have been a Capitals fan.

Nope, a Penguins fan also love the Ducks, I like the capitals, and I'm a huge fan today hoping they win out against Rangers.
Yea, because I'm from Maryland right? People assume I'm also a Redskin Fan and a Nat's fan, I'm a Giants and Mets/Orioles don't make me choose between the two.

Oh and by the way,
How 'bout them Mets?

I actually have Money on the Ducks winning the Cup, so they better win.
