Dias is skating to Chess, his cravat makes sense now!

 

[zebobes]

Choreographic chess playing!

 

[peese]

Love this piece!

 

[4everchan]

Dias is very

Dias was the king of pop today but i still love him

 

[icewhite]

I don't like the music at all, but what a lovely performance, so much attention to the program.

 

[4everchan]

Just noticed how Chris pronounces Dias. And recalled how he pronounced Diaz yesterday.

No more comment.

 

[zebobes]

I think this is the first time I've seen a chess program where I felt there was actually a story to the choreography. This was a lot of fun! Anyone who reads through this thread later, this is one of the stand out programs even though technically a little weak.

 

[icewhite]

don't you like sparkling gunshot wounds?

------------

rock it Dias!

I don't like the colours together like that. Beige-brown, I always dislike that, and then the ocre on the ivory with a touch of red... urgh, nah.

Vamos Donovan

 

[4everchan]

There is Donovan's dance.

and then, there is this.

 

[moonvine]

He doesn't need to sell it; I've already purchased.

 

[elektra blue]

not perfect but who cares!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Donovan is a credit to smiles and sparkles everywhere

Pleased to see he's getting that 3A down.

 

[icewhite]

Donovan brings so much joy and talent to figure skating.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

There were some jumping issues, but I honestly didn't really care. He's such a great performer - so inherently likable! I loved his creative spin positions as well. He's very musical!

@Seven Sisters still has my Mexican flag, I may need to purchase another.
