It's a shame Alejando Ramirez isn't on comms for this one, as I think he's the main draw for STL commentary for me - extremely well versed in current theory, able to balance human and computer analysis perfectly, and (with all the love in the world) doesn't bumble about as much as Yasser Seirawan.

Of course, the dream team remains Jan Gustafsson and Peter Svidler over on Chess24 when they're able to get together:

Ramirez is doing the twitch stream, though you're right that he was able to balance out how the computer analysis affected his commentary. OTOH, I felt that as an event dragged on, he'd rely more and more on the machine to tell the story of the game. Conversely, it'd be nice if they made Maurice Ashley comment without the engine for a while, maybe he'd have more interesting things to say again.
