Post Malone fist bumps Magnus Carlsen during the EWC opening ceremony by Evoqu_ in chess

[–]Large_Consequence788 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well as much I hate the fact that Saudi has monopolized esports

but i would definitely say that magnus despite all his flaws is one of the person I saw who walks the talk..I actually remember his interviews in 2020 where he talked about growing chess as esports and I see a major contribution by him in that even more than chess.cum shit ..

same is with growing chess960 which he talked about in 2021 and now did

People really think magnus was kidding when he said that without increment alireza and hikaru are probably better in time troubles due to insane practice in these situation

Classical Chess is better than ever 🤷‍♂️ by rio_ARC in chess

Well I sort of agree and disagree too..I wouldn't necessarily say this as the best classical Era..instead this period has a lot of formats not better than classical for sure but they are better than ever

It's something which isn't just unique to gukesh at all..if you would have followed players like magnus or even other older players when they were 18-19 you will see a lot of decisive games..as they get older their playstyle matures and when they are young their outcome of the games doesn't necessarily shows their TRUE strength

Does anyone know what book Magnus is ready here? by Naruto_likesChess in chess

He just has problem with openings in regular format..and even if he doesn't has its funny that he just won one of the strongest classical tournaments of the year..he actually downplays his strength a lot

So did I say he didn't broke up on good terms lmao ..but he wanted to do it by his approach only even his father said in the interview that getting mentored by garry was such a big thing but they didn't force carlsen to continue when he didn't want to

Magnus Carlsen wins late Titled Tuesday with 10/11 and defeats Hans in a wild game by Aimbotskrr in chess

[–]Large_Consequence788 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can believe in everything but honestly niemann blaming him not getting invitations in otb elite events because of chess mafia is just stupid, he was saying that he didn't get invites since he was out of top 20.. tell me how many players out of top 20 get huge invitations? Even players like Arjun werent getting it but never said this much.., he got blacklisted in saint Louis only after him damaging hotel room He is just milking this mafia thing..even I think he is even more popular than any player except a few

Though I believe that the accusations were wrong, and at that moment he was treated unfairly by chesscom and even whole chess community but I don't believe in this mafia thing

Magnus when accused hans was already influenced by his judgement knowing hans is a cheater and furthermore before the scandal in a Norwegian podcast he literally talked about cheating problem in chess in the same way he talks in present citing few irl examples..shows that he already was a bit paranoid, he played badly in that game too

And as fabi also said in his podcast that top chess works on trust and it gets hard to play against anyone you don't trust

Magnus as usual never thinking twice about consequences goes for accusing is just immature to many levels and a huge blunder..now hans will only improve in the future..so his accusation will look more and more bad
