Using the same standard as for classical chess, I measure Carlsen's tiebreak performance at 2945 +- 190. Richard Lipton and I also discuss WCC format changes to reduce draws: rjlipton.wordpress.com/2018/12/02/a-t…

My entry for the "extrapolate from 1 data point" prize: One voter (Indept) told me he decided for Trump while walking to a nearly empty polling place in Dem area (not in my state). Maybe lack of a blue crowd vibe at polls was a factor? My family voted early in-person.

IPRs (per Stockfish 7 so far only) for Jospem and Kramnik in the 14 OTB blitz games---transposed up by 575 Elo so as to jive with FIDE (Blitz) ratings: Jospem 2755 +- 170 Kramnik 2670 +- 170 These error bars allow concluding only that Jospem is not substantially inferior to K.
