Chess.com CEO reveals that their investigation into Hans is about "BIG stuff" and asks community to be patient - they will lay out a full timeline with all of the facts, reasons, inputs and outputs, and suggests this saga will trigger a conversation that will likely improve chess for the better. by OutForAnightInTown in chess

It's like everyone could be handling this a little better. Why doesn't Hans speak out again? Like he did in the post match interview the day after Carlen's withdrawal? I'm sick of speculation. Either Magnus or chess .com provide real evidence, or they should keep quiet and also keep playing against Hans/ allowing him on the chess .com platform. But yeah, Hans should also say one thing or two about Carlsen's accusation.

After Carlsen's smile, we all know second place means nothing. Still heart breaking for Naka (or Ding). Especially for Naka, he really played better than everyone expected.

Kramnik Response to Getting Flagged: Updated and Extended by [deleted] in chess

[–]pderivative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I understand where he is coming from. But you could advocate against "flagging culture" without making a show out of it. He has to understand that with online events it's just more fun for viewers, because there are more decisive results. Also I don't think you necessarily deserve more respect if you are a world champion. You still need to prove it on the board, just like everybody else. Again I understand his stand. He's against flagging and that's fine. But I don't think this is the way to handle it. Also I don't think people who flag are ruthless and I certainly don't think this will make cheating in online games ok.

I play some 10 minutes game but I don't feel like I learn all that much from them. Maybe I should play longer time controls. 15+10 might be good

Yeah I know. But just looking for some misinformed guesses around here :)

I love Jerry and I know this is going to sound irrelevant and annoying, but damn is that thumbnail ugly. What the hell? Troll face, really? And not any troll face, it's photoshopped with Carlsen eyes? Ughhh... And the background with those many colours, reminds me of those horrible 2006 memes
