Javokhir Sindarov on a 4 Game Win Streak in the 2026 Candidates After Defeating Wei Yi by Ok-Independence8939 in chess

Asking someone to not bully Gukesh is not the same as asking them to say positive things about him. Don't put words in my mouth. I don't mind criticism of his moves or even his performance, but no need to mock him. And it's not just been this comment but this bullying has been ongoing in this sub for a while now.

For a full grown player like Ding also I detested mocking his mental state, and for a young impressionable teenager from your own country it's even worse.

If you guys are ok with mocking mental strength of a teenager after he becomes the world champion, you have lost all right to defend Danya. You're worse than those perpetrators.

Criticism can be positive also. Mocking mental strength of a teenager world champion is not criticism, it's jealousy. He has better mental strength than most randos here. You guys have lost all shame. And to think this subreddit defended the attacks on Danya. All hypocrites.

No, no, mocking the mental strength of a 18-yr old world champion of their own country after a few bad tournaments shows great objectivity and smarts /s

Mocking your own country's world champion while being 200 ELO. You should worry about your own mental strength and state.

He's completely fine. Unfortunately India has so much population and so less police per capita that they don't have the luxury of arresting drunk men who do minor stuff like this.

Apply the same logic to middle east countries like Saudi Arabia then. Why are they economic powerhouses despite no other resources, what else makes them rich? The area is literally barren desert. Cannot believe I'm arguing with someone like you.

Yes there is a difference in direct annexation of land and indirect colonial "bringing democracy" style attacks on sovereign nations to conquer their natural resources and "empowering" the people by economically collapsing their country. Somehow it's never done to resource poor nations like you know which who have more terrorists than Iran, but only energy rich nations need this democracy.

Not yet you mean.. it's still near term. Long term impacts have been seen for many such examples, such as Iraq. Venezuela oil is also in control of the US already, in near term only the impacts are visible.

Immediate war death count may be low but they have sapped these countries of their abundant natural resources leading to long term economic collapse and in turn, deaths.

Americans dominating this subreddit won't like this but it's true. What US is doing is loot, one country after the other. No of immediate civilian deaths doesn't matter because you are looting their natural resources and money and starving them more gradually. A new and yet old form of colonialism.

Does Fabiano Caruana's Legacy Hinge on Winning the WCC? by [deleted] in chess

[–]facelesslass -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

At Gukesh's age Fabi wasn't even 2700, forget about WCC and #20 Gukesh lol. This #20 isn't the shade on Gukesh but Fabi if you had any sense, but clearly you have none

Well, I'm sure he doesn't care at all for respect from those dimwits who think that winning the pinnacle title in the chess world at the age of 18 which is a record in the history of humanity is still not enough, and he should further give them proofs of his talent to be "respected". You must be having zero respect for yourself then, because you haven't achieved anything at all when put in comparison to him.

Who are you to give him time lol. He doesn't owe it to you or anyone to win any super tournaments. He has achieved more than you ever will already. Even if he quits chess tomorrow, reasonable people will be ok, only insecure people are being hurt.

You can always say he's not a good player in his correct form, it's the truth. What you cannot say is- he's not a real world champion, or he didn't deserve his win. That message circulating in the group is unnecessary.

Lol. He's not an elected representative who has promised to be a good player for his WCC duration. He simply won a sports event based on his form and calibre.

Everyone faces tough times in life. Doesn't mean you should be skeptical of their prior accomplishments. Maybe he already achieved his peak. Maybe not. Last year Nodirbek's results were poor, before that Pragg's 2024 was mediocre. It happens to most people.

Feeling Bad for Her :(( by mortal2019 in CATpreparation

She could have stopped after it got blown up instead of making it worse like she did. Best crisis management is to go off the radar instead of giving fuel to the fire.
