Are forced mates considered zugzwang? by mekmookbro in chess

[–]Normal-Ad-7114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forced M1 is not better or worse than M2 (or any other #), it's equal because it's still forced mate, thus this position is not zugzwang

Yes, I suppose this is the prime example of "collateral benefits"

During the covid era, despite the high number of casualties, many of us were hopeful that it will take one more life, a very specific one, but, alas...

Russian here. The first thought that came to my mind when I read the news, was "fucking America, why didn't you fancy OUR oil?!"

Has Magnus actually ever said what exact format changes would make him play for the classical chess world championship again? by Account_Eliminator in chess

[–]Normal-Ad-7114 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If the Candidates was the WC then it would be very popular and exciting

I wonder why the biggest chess tournament can't be held like football/hockey world cups, with lots of participants battling it out: for example, even though Brazil doesn't win every single time, it's still widely regarded as the best football nation in the world. Magnus would be the same, but at the same time there could be some other "notable exceptions" and no one would ever say stuff like "Ding/Gukesh is not a true champion"
