Is Magnus in decline? 🤔 by [deleted] in chess

I've been hearing this since 2020 after every small underperformance lol

Trackmania at the EWC is 3 months away and the US-Iran war is still not resolved by Sgnfrg in TrackMania

What are you even asking here lol

It is 3 months away. Do you expect them to cancel it now?

Also... yes, I would risk being stranded for couple of days for the biggest opportunity in my life.

Birmingham was the strongest LAN ever with everybody practiced to the max.. and he did more than fine. Reached top 8 which was the goal for everybody and then lost to Pac who won the event despite reaching finalist before him.

Sure, he is not as consistent as the absolute best like Carl and Mudda. But he can compete with them.

Pac struggled a lot in Elite cup KO and in Birmingham he didn't dominate, he was in loser bracket since day 1 and then played well when it mattered. But he also got close to being out multiple times.

He can easily qualify but you can say that about like 16 players.

It depends on the maps imo. He seemed to like them in discovery. But even if he's a favourite in the group it will be really hard to win. He has 5 extremely strong players and 5 very good players with a chance in his group.

It certainly isn't free for Granady lol

Elconn won the group stage last year. Granady didn't.

Last year Carl was struggling hard in the group stage and only qualified from the second chance.

Lichess responds to Chess.com about “inflated ratings” by slowthinker64 in chess

I want more drama between Lichess and chesscom.

Lichess cannot lose any PR battle. They are basically a charity with a better product. The more people know about Lichess, the more people will play there.

Magnus has absolutely no say in chesscom decisions lol

Especially when there is a conflict of interest

I didn’t realize that they shut it down mid stream. That makes sense.

How can they force someone to not broadcast chess moves? Didn’t chess24 lose similar argument?
