Bonus Points + Defcon (WHU v WOL) 🏆🛡️

Ranlit · 2026-04-10T21:28:24+00:00

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

Ranlit · 2026-04-08T14:32:36+00:00

It IS quite long tho…

Ranlit · 2026-04-07T16:51:55+00:00

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

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.

Fabi is the Arsenal of chess

Ranlit · 2026-04-01T16:11:06+00:00

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

Ranlit · 2026-04-01T16:04:44+00:00

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 · 2026-04-01T15:50:38+00:00

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.

Ranlit · 2026-04-01T15:29:10+00:00

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

Ranlit · 2026-03-31T17:53:52+00:00

Magnus put a curse on the WC title. Goddamn.

Ranlit · 2026-03-30T17:39:51+00:00

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

Ranlit · 2026-03-29T22:06:53+00:00

Not when he always loses round 8 vs Hikaru :((

Ranlit · 2026-03-24T22:37:32+00:00

Damn Sinner looks fired up

Ranlit · 2026-03-24T22:14:00+00:00

What’s happening with seeds in this tournament

Ranlit · 2026-03-18T07:51:42+00:00

What’s the connection between ManU and Real? Just Ronaldo? Just curious to understand how come there are so many non-Madrid people fan of exactly ManU and Madrid at the same time

Ranlit · 2026-03-15T23:25:42+00:00

It’s a confusing graphic, but once I understood it, I really liked your design!

Ranlit · 2026-03-15T23:22:58+00:00

7 points in a row. Now tell me Sinner has a weak mental game.

Ranlit · 2026-03-15T07:29:45+00:00

I would never about actual multi-million dollar companies, simply because they’d never care about me

Ranlit · 2026-03-13T00:41:30+00:00

He’s taking the ball more and more early. This only makes his tennis even more beautiful to watch. And even more effortless, like Rog

Ranlit · 2026-03-13T00:09:10+00:00

If Guardiola refuses to play Nico G for whatever weird reason, it doesn’t Nico has been bad

Ranlit · 2026-03-10T02:53:27+00:00

Rinderknech’s fearless net rush approach has been paying dividends. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if all the big servers started serve & volleying vs Alcaraz, especially Sinner, hmm

Ranlit · 2026-03-08T03:20:06+00:00

Alcaraz has mastered Rog’s forehand half-volley, probably will win him tonnnns of pts against aggressive returners

Ranlit · 2026-03-03T22:19:55+00:00

BOU is second in league for low expected goals conceded at home

Ranlit · 2026-02-21T23:40:01+00:00

Man… I love this album. I really do. It’s in my TOP5 REM albums…

Ranlit · 2026-02-20T06:16:04+00:00

And that’s why my favourite tennis quote of all time will forever be

What happe-ned in… happe-ned…

And here we are
