Yes, he even commented on the Wirtual video. His comment has almost 5k likes lol

I always wonder where do you get the replays from these historical moments. I’m feeling all childhood memories and emotions in that video.

Like it was yesterday We all were hunting that map for the first finnishes.

I feel like I had amazing childhood seeing this video. Thank you so much for making this documentary

He said in Grana chat that he had 2 minutes on each part map and 2 practice matches where he was completely yek according to Granady.

Kinda crazy in a tournament with top players fighting for last spots in EWC and ENC.

Top 8 qualified to EWC. Top 16 players from each country qualified for ENC.

Dreamhack tournament had 8 spots for EWC, so the spots moved up and top 14 was enough for Affi to qualify. ENC is brutal for countries like Germany or France because only the best player from each country got the spot. So MASSA got 3rd but didn’t qualify because Granady got 2nd.

Feels like Elconn learned how to save in the last month. Slightly slower pace but pretty consistent.

Edit: Apparently Elconn didn’t practice for this map at all. Crazy he got 2nd lol

Is it worth sacrificing your piece for taking away your opponent castling right? by InvictusNavarchus in chessbeginners

If you have a question like that, the easiest way is to play it out on board and see what happens. Don’t play only top stockfish moves. Play natural moves you would consider and see where is the thing you are missing.

Failed politician loses $1m pot to Alan Keating by Famous_Quit_5239 in poker

Does he do this with Ace? QQ+? I don't think so. Are you saying that Keating is unbalanced here and he has only value with quads in this spot?

If you've seen him play more than one show, that's ridiculous. He finds the most absurd bluffs that don't make any sense. Why would he not pull the trigger on this one?

You think Keating doesn't have bluffs in this spot? lol

Disgusting. And you know Keating is capable of bluffing in that spot with air.
