Its a shame for fans that Hans has disappeared off the grid. Maybe because his outspoken opponents won’t play tournaments alongside him and Hans is keeping his head low(?). Anyway, for me chess has gotten boring without Hans. No personalities to match except perhaps GingerGM, Ben Finegold or Chessbrah (although these also seem to have lost some energy recently). Could just be me getting old though. Where have all the good chess times gone and can we ever get them back again?

GM Hans has been a bit more active of late with his streams and YouTube videos... and highly entertaining as always! But it is a bit disappointing that his own site here has been neglected.
