That is a gigantic orange juice!
Congratulations to magnus 🙂
Yes, IT is quite HUGE!
Maggy is a big boy now.
O.J. is a reason he wins…none of the other players are drinking O.J.!
In my view Karjakin had some advantage throughout the game, would be nice to see strong players analysing this game.
Yet another quick draw.
he’s not in the smae league as Kasparov, no way!
Who Carlsen? of course not!
Why does everyone make jokes about his orange juice?

Because it is SO HUGE!!!!
get it?
If you drink that much OJ, wouldn’t you have to go to the bathroom so much. If you have to go to the bathroom so much… well, you know what happened when Kramnik did it.
