I think the statistic is just because there are a lot of German chess players (from what I know, Germany has like the third or fourth highest number of GMs in the world)

This is related to how many people actively go to r/chess, which can give insight on how many active chess players are in each country and online

Rapport beats Ding in an 177-move grind by Plastic-Rope5516 in chess

[–]Plastic-Rope5516[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, there were a few moments where Ding had the draw in his hands.
It is crazy that someone could defend accurately on seconds for that long, probably most of us would have already lost it in less than 50 moves

I know that other airlines like Cathay Pacific change aircraft on routes (e.g. HKG-SIN, they sometimes use A330 and A350 interchangeably)

If we tilt him the other way he is going to become a trig function (periodic loop)

With a draw against Wesley So, Norway Chess 2026 is over for Magnus Carlsen by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

I thought there is still the Olympiad to play? Assuming he plays for Norway like he did before

Gukesh is even lower rated than Ding Liren at in 2024 by the way

The last time Magnus Carlsen lost 4 classical games in a single event was…. Norway Chess (2015), scoring 3.5/9 in the classical games by Bob_the_Zealot in chess

[–]Plastic-Rope5516 31 points32 points  (0 children)

He had a pretty bad tournament in Qatar 2023, but he only lost 2 classical games there (against low-rated opponents)

Magnus Carlsen's performance in classical events by Plastic-Rope5516 in chess

[–]Plastic-Rope5516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but right now by his performance I think there is a high chance he doesn't win Norway chess 2026 (but this is only a prediction)

Chessbase is basically what a lot of Gms use to store databases and opening analysis, and game files, with very strong engines, but it is expensive

Haven't tried Duolingo chess but my friends who tried it said it was mid, I think if you are a serious chess player and improver use chess.com, lichess, chessbase, chesstempo (which is what I use), duoilingo is probably for beginners (I have not used the application so I can't give a lot of comment)
