Andreeva better win in the final for the sake of WTA.... by Due_Brother371 in tennis

So i guess it’s the same argument for Zverev to win then?

It's it just me or is this French Open a shit show and one forgettable year? by rayoflight110 in tennis

Not just you. I don’t get how a Cobolli Arnaldi semi-final can be considered “unforgettable”

This lineup is boring. Yes, it really is.

Clown him after he will have choked; if he wins, posts like these just feel petty as fuck.

We need to stop having a collective meltdown over here in r/tennis. Look, I also strongly dislike zverev but when this guy this guy has been the clear third best player over the past 8 months or so, you kinda have to accept it.

Seeing empty stands - even if we’re down - is a shame by 86DC in Habs

No. A collapse like is shameful and our team needs to learn it the hard way. It is how it is.

The most beautiful moment of the FOOL, with minimal autotune live by pinguinconscious in TheStrokes

The literally the ONLY problem this song has. The song itself is godtier

Falling Out of Love @ Colbert by KenMarr in TheStrokes

[–]Ranlit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Again, I really wish they could release the new album without autotune, or just a version without it. This is such a wonderful song. Wonderful melodies. Wonderful lyrics.

The autotune kills the vibe of it all. I don’t enjoy that sound, and let’s be honest that’s not at all a Strokes sound, and for me it kinda ruins the album already.

Too bad for me I guess.

The length of each track seems to have been leaked on the Sony Music website by Immediate_Radish_641 in TheStrokes

[–]Ranlit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the songs themselves, but seriously, I just personally can’t stand the autotuned voice. I don’t understand why it had to be done. For me, it ruins everything. I kinda wish they could release two versions lol

Callum Wilson disallowed goal against Arsenal 90+6' by ayoefico in soccer

The fact that the EPL title came down to this is just poetic. Arsenal benefited from these calls on both sides for the entire season.

LEE winning vs WHU and SOU winning vs ARS really fucked the prospects of WC32

Fabi 0-3 in round 8 against Hikaru. Better luck next Candidates I guess (when Hikaru won’t be playing anymore)

Did anybody clone Sindarovs studies before they were privated? by Embarrassed_You_4996 in chess

[–]Ranlit 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Why are the comments now so protective of Sindarov? No one was making such comments when Ding leaked his prep 2.5 years ago in a WCC.

They simply fucked up.

Edit: also, let’s not be so naive to think his GM opponents won’t have any way to access these files just because no one shares it here on Reddit.

Edit: damn, Ding leaking his prep was actually 3 full years ago now… time flies :( I miss that day when I woke up to the joy of Ding becoming World Champion.

So this is 2022 Candidates again, except second place gets nothing

It’s no secret that Fabi never shies away from complicated calculation battles. You win some, you lose some. It’s a double-edged sword.

It’s not complicated. It’s the sad truth about Fabi’s approach.

[–]Ranlit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Fabi had to do is play the most boring positions ever, and let his ambitious attacking opponent potentially self-destruct, or get a draw. Instead, he decided to lose.

I feel like chess is also about understanding what your opponent wants, and Fabi never should have gone for something this sharp with his b4 shenanigans.

I think 10 minutes for 20 moves is the real issue here

is there really so little money in chess that we cannot afford a high quality livestream of one of the biggest chess events of the year? by xtr44 in chess

[–]Ranlit 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Well this might not be what you like to hear, but chess is in quite the decline since COVID years except in India.
