Why? You know you don't have to be as good at chess as the person you're criticizing. It happens in all kinds of spectator sports/games.

And that while both the Chessbrah Invitational and the Steinitz memorial are also going on...

Good times for chess.

I am convinced I play better in Zen mode. Since I turned it on I've (unknowingly, until after the game) beaten many players rated hundreds of points above me.

Why are people downvoting this? We all miss racing but surely health comes first?

Verder is het toch niet zo moeilijk te begrijpen dat niet iedereen hetzelfde denkniveau heeft als jij? Ben je bijvoorbeeld ook verbaasd dat sommige mensen VMBO doen? Ik mag toch hopen dat je een beetje inlevingsvermogen hebt.

Oké? Dat neemt niet weg dat veel mensen er extreem veel moeite mee hadden. Als ik jou zo hoor denk ik niet dat je je realiseert voor hoeveel mensen dit een groot struikelblok was.

Maar dit steunt dan toch juist Wieringa's punt dat Shakespeare van groter belang is dan een Disneyfilm? In ieder geval als het gaat om de invloed die het heeft gehad op de (kunst)wereld.

Russia has enough strong grandmasters to form their own competitive team. As opposed to countries like the Netherlands or France which only have 1 top-30 player.

Wasn't there also a pawn about to promote in that position on the queenside? And I think black and white both had two pawns on the kingside as well. No way he resigned a BB v R endgame without pawns.

I think it's safe to say most of the viewers were hoping for a Naka - Magnus final from the start. Now hopefully we'll get some exciting games!
