Corona Chess.
By now there are various forms of this emoji chess board. One shows toiletpaper instead of germs.

There is always a chance to queen.
I should be in Yekaterinburg commentating on the Candidates, BUT the Coronavirus pandemic stopped me and I had to cancel my trip. I am with everybody who is at the venue. I cross my fingers for their safety and health. Wishing double GOOD LUCK for all!https://t.co/LlnfCA5AVl

What a pity Judit Polgar had to stay home. But wishing double good luck is a double good wish!

All chess servers would fall apart quickly.
Here are a couple of more amusing and entertaining Candidate Tournament moments from the past days.
Saw @FabianoCaruana in the hotel lobby. He offered me a handshake. I understand we are competitors here, but one still expects some sportsmanship and common courtesy. #Candidates2020
— Anish Giri (@anishgiri) March 14, 2020
Another witty one by Anish Giri.
Everybody who was busy laughing @rajachess for his concerns about Coronavirus and the #FIDECandidates might have to rethink that stance.

Hikaru Nakamura strikes a more serious note.
He did it again! :) “The chair is too comfortanble I can fall asleep”, Sasha said back in 2019 at @NorwayChess #FIDECandidates pic.twitter.com/5x9rl0nZhJ

Apparently, Alexander Grischuk knows the value of self-restraint.

Confidence, calculation and cephalopods.
Cephalopods? Now, I have to watch the video to find out what that might be.
Great chess players are absent minded! 😄 Agreed?

Well prepared for the opening but forgetting their best intentions in the endgame.
A fine win by Fabiano Caruana over Kirill Alekseenko in the 4.f3 Nimzo-Indian. https://t.co/MtIYBehpzo pic.twitter.com/lzhuuC7fst

Or do they?
Last time we saw the French opening at the candidates:

Leko - Gurevich, Elista 2007
Last time we saw the Winawer French at the candidates:
Sokolov - Jussupow, Riga 1986#FIDECandidates
When was the last time players didn't shake hands before or after the game?
DING LIREN vs FABIANO CARUANA!
— ChessBase India (@ChessbaseIndia) March 19, 2020
Wow! What sort of a novelty is this! Caruana simply sacrifices a pawn in a relatively well known position in the Slav.

Preparation is key! Unfortunately for Fabiano Caruana, Ding Liren seems to remain his #angstgegner
Is it just me or is the candidates always more exciting than the world championship match itself? only a few rounds in but already some classic games been played.
— Daniel Gormally (@elgransenor1) March 19, 2020
If they continue to play like they did in the first three rounds, I couldn't agree more!
What a hero Ding is. And Caruana. And how amazingly rich and violent modern, engine-enhanced chess can be when the stakes are high enough to make battle and risk most rewarding. #FIDECandidates
— Jonathan Tisdall (@GMjtis) March 19, 2020
Let's hope for more!
