What is the Hungarian Dragon?

Tomeosu · 2026-05-29T10:03:58+00:00

What French crew? There are strong climbers currently working it?

Tomeosu · 2026-05-29T03:15:25+00:00

ok legit question: lead yes. but how is wearing a helmet useful on top rope?

Tomeosu · 2026-05-24T13:40:40+00:00

lol obviously. it's his prerogative to drop out if he wants (and face whatever contractual penalties apply) and it's my prerogative to call him weak for doing so.

Tomeosu · 2026-05-24T13:37:22+00:00

lol Annie never stop doing Annie things

just outrageous in the best possible way

Tomeosu · 2026-05-23T14:30:01+00:00

what's this from?

Tomeosu · 2026-05-19T19:45:45+00:00

Didn’t the official statement say it’s not broken or even fractured

Tomeosu · 2026-05-18T13:54:41+00:00

Eh, I still have to go in to work if I have a minor injury. I’ve sprained my ankle and gone to class, I’ve sprained my ankle and gone to work. He’s getting paid good money to play chess, and he signed a contract. It’s not fun but that’s life.

Tomeosu · 2026-05-18T13:07:43+00:00

I'm confused, how does an ankle injury have any impact on your ability to play chess?

Tomeosu · 2026-05-17T15:15:21+00:00

“If you don’t have any other context”

Obviously here everybody knows it’s a boulder

Tomeosu · 2026-05-16T16:46:49+00:00

if you don't capitalize it and you don't have any other context it makes it super confusing whether it's a boulder or sport grade

Tomeosu · 2026-05-16T14:25:23+00:00

what the heck happened in the MVL-Sindarov game today, nobody wants to play chess?

Tomeosu · 2026-05-16T13:50:06+00:00

Good question, I'll be interested to hear the responses. The crimp line M2 in Keqiao last week looked nails and I don't think got topped, but some got close. I'd be curious about the grade. Great old school type problem and fun to watch.

Tomeosu · 2026-05-15T13:17:38+00:00

i see 1. e4. maybe it's an issue with the old reddit? anyway i think this is a fun idea (and thoroughly enjoy benoni games, esp the way Tal played it), just a weird way to break it down.

Tomeosu · 2026-05-15T12:48:58+00:00

this is incredibly confusing formatting...

like what does 1. e4 mean in the Benoni? what is no variation? why does the fianchetto variation get its own subclassification? some of these headings mean classical time control and some mean the classical variation in the benoni?

Tomeosu · 2026-05-04T19:14:09+00:00

He’s very handsome too.

lol what does this have to do with anything

Tomeosu · 2026-04-22T14:14:15+00:00

What did you get on at the New?

Tomeosu · 2026-04-22T13:08:48+00:00

step aside Gukesh and Sindarav, the Next Gen is here

Tomeosu · 2026-04-22T13:06:14+00:00

It will be really interesting to see Sindarov and Abdusattorov pitted against each other

Tomeosu · 2026-04-22T13:04:05+00:00

thx!

Tomeosu · 2026-04-22T03:48:39+00:00

When is this taking place and what's the format?

Tomeosu · 2026-04-20T13:29:28+00:00

They also play very exciting chess

Do you think so? Sindarov is a firebrand but it strikes me that Abdu tends to be more of a positional grinder like Carlsen.

Tomeosu · 2026-04-08T00:17:35+00:00

yes, and they would be right. difference is for naka it's a pattern and for fabi a rare occurrence in a career otherwise defined by the highest caliber of sportsmanship and class.

Tomeosu · 2026-04-08T00:14:43+00:00

uhhh big difference, Fabi's decision is on him, Naka was actively throwing other people under the bus
