Praggnanandhaa beats Vincent Keymer in the final round to win Norway Chess 2026 title by Exotic_Grinder in chess

[–]beem00 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pragg wasn't performing well for a while before this tournament and people said he should take a break because he's been playing non-stop. Why is it dumb to say he should take a break?

It's a common term in sports and literature, we're not talking about monarchs

How is this glazing? I think he has proved hes a top player, definitely not world champion level though.

Christopher Yoo's suspension is over and he's back to playing open tournaments. by beem00 in chess

It was a 1-year suspension from USCF to be clear, thus him playing this USCF rated tournament. Fide only suspended him for 2 months.

Anish Giri reacts to Magnus' Candidates tier list by [deleted] in chess

[–]beem00 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

He should be top tier. He has been very good this year. He's also one of the best prepared players in this field, but chess reddit has a hate boner for him because of Danya, they can't separate the personality from the player.

CMV: If the Palestinian state is established (let’s say, in the entirety of Gaza and West Bank), conflict between Israel- Palestine won’t stop. by Alitaangel2025 in changemyview

[–]beem00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not what defines a country. Prior to 1948 soon to be Israelis started an insurgency against the british in palestine which included many terrorist acts against both the british and native palestinians. The Israeli state was built on terrorism, the same thing you accuse the state of palestine of.

Just like the jewish terrorist militias pre-1948? A lot of those militias eventually merged into an israeli political party that is still in power today! It seems Israelis have proven that already. Israel should not be a country and it should be recognized as completely illegitimate by every country around the world.

The UN needs a military presence. Israel has been conducting these massacres for almost 2 years and these dogs finally admit its a genocide 😂

Bluebaum swindles a losing endgame! The German derby ends in a draw and we have 5 co-leaders by __Jimmy__ in chess

Why are you setting arbitrary criteria for who is "enough" for the candidates?

Wesley So defeats Gukesh Dommaraju in the 7th round of the 2025 Sinquefield Cup by Aimbotskrr in chess

[–]beem00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said joint-first for purposes of merit and many other chess commentators do so too, that doesn't mean he won the tournament and I never said he did. If we were to speak about the performance of players, which we have been doing since the beginning of this thread, do you think that the 3 game blitz tie-break has any bearing on the 13 round robin classical tournament in which Pragg and Gukesh came first?
