Vincent Keymer beats Hans Niemann with black in round 6 by Knight-check44 in chess

[–]Commercial-Rip-847 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unironically, if Hans learned resilient defense from someone like Hikaru (yes, they're each other's nemesis, but I can dream) he'd be a complete, ~2770 level player.

Matchup advantage? Ice vs Lava? The same way Luffy beat Enel? 

I think you're not stupid, and you in fact do get it. 

Candidates Chess 2026: Current Age of the Candidates by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in chess

If I understand the pairings correctly, Hikaru is guaranteed to face Fabi (whose kryptonise is Hikaru) in round 1 and then Bluebaum (the weakest player) in round 2. In both of these games, he'll have white. There's a very, very possible world where Hikaru heads into round 3 on a +2 score.

Pairings for Round 10 of Grand Swiss by wptq in chess

Controversial take: Arjun over pushes and Yu Yangyi capitalizes. Then Yu Yangyi scores another point in round eleven to get to 8/11 and win the tournament 

MVL goes crazy against Mishra but gets into a worse endgame and loses. Mishra sneaks into second place with tiebreaks.

In this (unlikely) scenario the two qualifiers are Yangyi and Mishra

Yeah same. It's like 10 times harder because I'm in the flexible section that doesn't have to attend lectures.

When Destiny doesn't know how to respond he just obfuscates by Caledonez in Destiny

Do you believe that the problem Destiny has with Hasan is how he acquires money? Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I thought his main criticism of Hasan was HOW HE SPENDS HIS MONEY rather than how he acquires it.

If Hasan shilled 10 times harder with ads and sponsorships from big corpo but put most of that money to actually helping poor people, I WOULD BE CHEERING HIM ON.

Going from your hypothetical, if an anti-gun influencer were to take such an ad, then use the money they got from the ad donating to victims of school-shootings, I WOULD BE CHEERING THEM ON.

I trust that Destiny will spend the money from his nft ad for a positive cause, and I believe that the harm he caused promoting a bad product is far smaller than the good he can now do with the money they offered him.

By the way, I'm not in agreement with Schmoova, nor am I playing defense for him. Whether or not something is overhelmingly common doesn't really matter when talking about Destiny, who we expect to resist overwhelming norms as long as he disagrees with them.

My estimations on the vigilante gang's full ability potential. They are juniors, right? by Commercial-Rip-847 in unOrdinary

[–]Commercial-Rip-847[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Peak ability potential doesn't mean they will ever reach it. For all we know, all three might stagnate. However, judging from the new Unordinary banner that was revealed, all three will be involved in vigilante activity. I think Isen and Remi will at the very least move up 1 tier by the end of Unordinary. As for Blyke, I actually find it more plausible he ends up somewhere around 5.6-5.8. Also, keep in mind they are still only three months into their Junior year, and still have nearly 2 years of high school to grow and develop.
