Despite his loss, Karthikeyan Murali is in good spirits! He chatted with Fiona Steil-Antoni after his match. “Long” flights, acquiring experience, Ian Nepomniachtchi, delicious meals: you have it all in one interview. And even more!

The Armageddon Championship Series is a season of high-intensity, ultra-fast gameplay. The world’s greatest chess players compete under excruciating time pressure, with a real-time heartbeat and calories-burned data points displayed alongside breakneck moves and cutting analysis, all broadcast live from Berlin.
