Yep. Will always be a stain on his legacy, which is already mid as is. You can get away with retiring early when you’re Fischer, not with his WC record. He hopes people will believe he retired because he was just bored of being so much better and it was no longer worth the time investment. He retired because he wasn’t doing as well in world championships as he should have

Name the time he won 20 games in a row against Candidates level competition like Fischer, or spotted one of the best of all time 2 games in a WC match and still won

Name the best player he beat in a WC match. Fabi? Oops, that was in Rapid!
Kasparov and Fischer utterly mog him as Classical players. Magnus’s legacy is based on his *cross-discipline* dominance, not his Classical results, which are mediocre. You would right if you said he was the strongest *all-around* player, but that’s not what you said, and perhaps, now you have learned something.
>>
>>563103858
Magnus doesn't even have an immortal game... and no, that one as a kid was just laughable although that one is better than the "immortal game" by Kasparov which is basically a 1500 chess.com blunder and everyone was in awe because, well, because it was Kasparov

Greatest = dominance. Distance between you and #2. Which for Magnus is quite small considering he tied in two consecutive world championship matches, in one of them not winning a single game.
Magnus is the BOAT, not the GOAT.

Well, 2000 would require me to put time into understanding positions by playing time controls other than blitz; that's effort I don't want to put in. 1800, however, I'm confident I can reach with a routine evening blitz grind.

If Sindarov wins a single nother game then it's basically over because all he has to do is draw and it's literally impossible for anyone else to win if he manages that. 1 win and 3 draws would put him at 10.5 and even Anish at 6 would not reach him if he won every game. If he draws everything out he lands at 10 points and Fabi is incapable of reaching him from his 5. Really all he needs to do to kick Fabi out is get 1.5 points which 3 draws is enough for. And he doesn't even need to do any of that unless Fabi or Anish go on a crazy streak and win all 4 next games. So the conclusion is we should get started on the Sindarov/Gukesh memes

This game is so gay and full shit. There’s something unbalanced about it, simple as. There’s no reason I should be so completely winning an entire game and then ONE weird little move topples the whole house of cards and my opponent is now winning. No real game is like this, name one other real game where you destroy your opponent and then lose in one move. Imagine in poker you absolutely milk your whale and then with his final 3 chips he wins your entire mountain stack. Embarrassing for this shit game that even gambling is more legitimate as a game.

Magnoos just didn’t have it in him to match kasparov. It’s easy to be the best in the world/WCC for 5 or even 10 years in comparison to 20. It’s hard to put in the work when you wake up in silk pajamas and have millions of dollars. That’s the difference between kasparov and everyone else.

On a completely unrelated note, how do you rape the london system? Online I freestyle every time with d6, d5, or c5 and do random bullshit that's different each time. I want to spring some traps, not just wait for the kingside attack they do. I tried the dutch but I lost 200 elo doing it

>>
>>563153282
Not a “trap” but the safest way to respond is with an instant c5 as soon as they go into a London. Here’s a typical line
1. d4 d5
2. Nf3 Nf6
3. Bf4 c5
4. e3 Nc6
5. c3 e6
7. Bd3 Bd6
It’s just solid and equal, which is good for black.
He wants to play Qb3 with some pressure, so just keep your light squared bishop undeveloped in the opening stage and castle without difficulty.

Good luck!
You can't really rape the London, that's why they play it. However, you can go for the two sirs(double fianchetto). It's unusual, something will happen on the diagonals and against the London it's actually good.
>>
>>563155418
I'll have you know I don't just copy and paste computer lines, I plan around what I think the most likely lines will be and choose what suits my style by playing through them on the board, and only then checking against an engine and making some adjustments. I have multiple lines against the King's Gambit that are 20 moves deep and utterly rape and haven't gotten to play any of them, despite them all being extremely probable. Here's a kino one for example:
1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 d5
4. exd5 Nf6
5. c4 c6
6. dxc6 Nxc6
7. d4 Bb4+
8. Nc3 0-0
9. Bxf4 Re8+
10. Be2 Ne4
11. Rc1 Qf6
12. Bg3 Nxd4!
13. Nxd4 (Qxd4... Qh6 14. 0-0 Bc5) Bg4!
14. Rf1 Qb6
15. a3 Bxc3
16. Bxc3 Bxe2
17. Nxe2 (Kxe2 or Qxe2... Nxc3!) Rad8
18. Qc2 (Qa4... Nc5!) Rd2
19. Bf2 Qd6
if one more cope try
20. c5 Qa6!

Yeah my only weakness at this point for my rating is preparation so I decided to go full Fischer lately and properly prepare. Number one on my list was King's Gambit, then White against the Alekhine, the two most annoying openings for me to play against. I'm prepped to the teeth against both now, with my own personal prep too so it's even more venomous, except that of course now nobody plays either against me. :)
>>
>>
>>563157271
Like I described above, personal prep is playing things out on the board yourself. You anticipate what a human on your level would be most likely to play, rather than simply the objective "best move", and play through your options. Then you check it against an engine and see what improvements it makes, but the general direction of the line is your own, and is what you're most comfortable with playing, which is important in case play deviates from your prep.
Regular prep is just book theory. It's stuff that everyone knows. So for instance, a Hanging Pawns video. Wars contested between regular preparation are about how much each can remember of the line, and then how well you understand the resulting position when you start playing on your own. It's "less venomous" because there's not likely to be an element of surprise. Your opponent knows the same line you do and knows the general ideas.
So for instance, in Candidates, what they're playing is mostly personal prep. They've not only prepared their own prep in general, but even prep for specific opponents, anticipating their most likely individual responses. This seems to be something Sindarov has done especially well. And this is different from regular preparation of just known theory
>>
>>563157649
As an example, everything up to h5 in this move is book theory.
Sindarov's personal prep begins with 10. Bd3! Nobody has played this before, because you're willingly trapping your bishop. The book theory, instead of Bd3, is h4, Nxg3.
Sindarov stunned Pragg with Bd3, and he proceeded to think for an hour before his next move. That's personal prep compared to Pragg's book theory.

they played random bullshit, every single one of them. I don't even know if those openings have names. The hedgehog, the two sirs, the french (but delayed c4), some reversed stonewall dutch with white, the english and the caro-kann...
I had a pretty cool knight sack in the french game against a 1800 which led to mate, that was my favourite. The games were relatively close but I had an easy time/never losing with the 1700s and not many chances at all against the 1900s, that sort of thing

The more you improve, the more every move you make matters. For literally 99% of players, there's maybe one move per game that matters, and it's usually a bad one. You might as well just be shuffling pieces around. As you get up over 1700, 1800, 2000 etc. that stops being the case, and those random knight moves in the middle game actually require thought and precision.
Before that, at best, you see a tactic and execute it and win if you don't hang any pieces to something even stupider. After that, you see a tactic a few moves down the line and try to plan for it, knowing your opponent might be vaguely aware of it. And all of it isn't overshadowed by a stupid blunder, it actually determines who wins.
So it's not just about "did I win" and "who did I win against." It's more like, "did 95% of the moves I made effect the outcome even a little bit?"

could you lure a carokanner into the triangle system, marshall gambit accepted, or is it unreasonable? I had the possibility of transposing into it yesterday, but didn't go for it. What do you think a carokanner do if we magically reached this position?

You don't like chess if you don't like that kind of game. Sorry buddy. Embrace the 'Kann. Play boring Slavs. I had a great time. I know my opponent is squirming, his asshole is itching, he's desperate for anything to happen. He attacks a pawn. I'm doubling my rooks on the open file. I'm not attacking anything. I don't give a shit. And who wins the pawn? Me. The poetic justice, the reward of the patient; if they're not what you're here for, what are you here for?
>>563311241
The advance is the only thing that scares me as a Carogawd. That doesn't look scary to me. I haven't studied it because I probably wouldn't have played e6. Forced to take that position, I think I might want to play e5 anyways.

>The advance is the only thing that scares me as a Carogawd.
Just play the Botvinnik-Carls response (3. e5 c5)
Most of them don't know what to do here and you end up getting a better French advance for black.
>>
>>563311749
I start with e4 and c4 against the caro, and sometimes they get scared and play e6 before d5 even if there is no need. I was wondering if I can get this d4 opening that's extremely sharp and scary that I saw in nakamura-sindarov or if they would find a way to kill it.

If you wanted that kind of game, this is what you could maybe get me to play? I'm already a little unhappy in this position as black. I would probably be even more unhappy with your pawn on c2 or c3, but I also never see this, so if you learn the lines here it might pay off.
>>563312749
That's the best option because the kingside gets totally fucked otherwise. Unfortunately I am then playing a French, which is not as fun for me as turtling in my boring Caro house, so I might opt for something like this instead.
>>563312935
I wouldn't know about it if so, I go d5 and then if you pull the knight out before d4 I go d4. e6 seems like a bad response but if you get it a lot you can do anything, just look to punish their bishop.

Sindarov has a lot to prove since him being in the candidates in the first place was a bit of a fluke, but is this is the tournament where it clicked for him, I could see him being a strong world champion for a while. I never felt that way about Gukesh. And it isn't just because I'm racist; Sindarov crushed people mentally here where Gukesh just kind of squeezed in off of Fabi's choke against Nepo.

I obviously like the guy's play but look at the people who he beat before Wei Yi in that tournament. Jospem and "the other Nodirbek?" They can drop games. Beating Wei Yi is an accomplishment but it's not like he's in contention for the top dog conversation. So yes, the way he qualified was pretty lucky.

I still have not seen a single good reason why the Russian flag should still be banned. The US and Israel attacked Iran and there are a lot of Iranian players. If we’re banning Russian flags for starting wars then we should have banned the US and the Israeli flags too. The whole thing is a complete joke at this point.

Chesscom has long been trying to become a monopoly and trying to replace fide by spending as much money as they can, attracting every player (and paying them if they dont want to play there), making tournaments, buying competitors like chess24 and buying every tool with any userbase.They also spent thousands on content creators like gothamjew, hikaru, chessbrahs, naroditsky etc and infiltrated their teams/moderation with chesscom employees to force them into certain directions and forge narratives. As if it wasnt obvious, they also spend all their money on painting narratives through deception, the magnus-hans scandal is all manufactured by chesscom giving magnus info they could not corroborate after.

well that is if drew. If he wins this then two more wins could theoretically place him above sindarov if he loses everything but if giri plays a draw and a win he'll be even (again assuming sindarov wins nothing. If sindarov draws the next two games or wins a single one though it's over.

It mostly comes down to club size, so try to find the biggest one you can and see if they offer classes for adults. I joined mine right when they started their adult beginner program, and it ended up being mostly other 20-40 year olds. A lot of those people quit early on though, so most of the friends I made came from club tournaments.

My favorite genre of account in online chess are the 1800-2000+’s that somehow don’t know this line yet, tank forever after seeing it, and then instead of resigning go on to shortly win the game anyway
>>

During the last 12 months, Gukesh has lost 55 rating points, the worst among all players rated above 2700 and the second worst among the top 100.
Sindharov, on the other hand, has gained 69.4 rating points in the last 12 months, the most for players above 2700 and the third highest for players among the top 100.
If you were Gukesh, would you rather play Fabi or Sindharov? It would be interesting if Gukesh could find some form in the WCC.

>>563573526
it's very slick play but without seeing move times all of that seems mostly within reach for an 1800-2000 who blundered in the opening and locked in to try to save the game. if they were blitzing that out then I would definitely be suspicious but out of context it seems like you're just mad your opponent competently played on instead of handing you a free win for knowing an opening trap
resigning there is very cucked btw
>>
>>563574473
Yeah thanks for your 1500 analysis Nobody Ever Cheats anon. The problem is that nobody blunders that opening at that rating. Not knowing that line at that rating in and of itself is a dead giveaway of a dishonest player, to on top of that not resign and then literally play hand and brain with Stockfish to a T for the rest of the game is as clear as it gets.
By the way, to make matters even clearer, it’s a brand new account. From Brazil. Which has won every single game, except one, his most recent, to a 2110. Most likely, he cheated his way to a 2000+ and then tried to play for himself.
And it wasn’t “cucked” to resign there, you’re such an idiot.
You never know what you’re talking about btw, just shut the fuck up. It’s at the point that I hope this is just ritual ragebaiting, for your sake. But I get the impression you actually take yourself seriously

e4 gives too many options to black who can dictate the ensuing game more than in other openings like d4, which in turn makes it more prone to draws because that’s what black often wants to do. it used to have a more fighting reputation from the Romantic days up to Fischer, but by the time of Karpov vs Kasparov theory had advanced enough that getting an edge with e4 against a player who was determined to play it safe was becoming impossible. finally Karpov himself, who was one of the last e4 loyalists, dropped it for d4, marking the official end of its dominance in top level play.
d4 by contrast is 1. not an “open game” which allows for more tension and maneuvering, 2. is less “forcing” and more open to alternative move orders and intuitional, creative play 3. allows black fewer options in response, most of which are even structurally similar (either some form of IQP, or a hypermodern like Grunfeld / KID) so there’s less to prepare for, compared to all variations of king’s pawn, Sicilian, French, Caro, Alekhine, Petrov, etc.

Hey guys, when he played with White he called his opponent "blackie" and "blackoid" but when he played with Black he didn't call his opponent any color-based insults... what did he mean by this?

I don’t know how many times you people need to be told that online is cooked. Yes, you are playing cheats. No, they probably will not be banned. Even if they are, in a few days or few weeks, you will still be playing more cheats in the meantime, and your experience will always be: that of playing cheats. Yes, the guy you played in that game was cheating. Yes, the guy you play five games from now who is 1200 blitz 2000 rapid is also cheating. No, it does not matter what site you play on. Com is a bit more responsive, lichess not at all. Really doesn’t matter. You’re still going to play cheats. Did you get a clear winning advantage that is resignable? Guess what, your opponent will not resign, and you’re about to lose. It seems hard to believe, but it’s true. Now you want to come here and complain about cheating? Sorry, no! You’ve been told many times what to expect. You only do it to yourself. If you don’t mind playing cheats, then by all means sign up for cheats.com or licheats and be hundreds of points lower rated than you really are, lose games you really won, and enjoy your humiliation ritual. If you DO mind? Don’t play online chess, at least rated. And if you do, do not come here after crying. Yes, Mohammed is going to cheat when he blunders a full piece for no reason. He fucks goats. He’s probably raped women. He doesn’t care. Yes, Ching Chong Ding Dong from Chyna is going to have his cheat extension ready to go. Look in his black beetle eyes. He doesn’t care. He’s probably eating a dog. This is what you signed up for.

The harsh reality is that chess does not make for a great amateur game. Really, if you’re going to “Play Chess”, you should be either 1. a child with realistic professional aspirations or time to be jolly 2. an adult who has already been playing chess for years and still plays OTB, and only fucks around online. Adult improvers, if they MUST have chess as a hobby, should also play primarily OTB, yes. Make it a social thing at your local club, or play with friends and family. That is the way chess has always been played, and you must retvrn. Because this whole devoting hours of every day to online chess is wrongheaded for multiple reasons. First, you can be doing something better with your time, and second, as I said, online is cooked. It really is a waste of time. Before online, nobody would have had delusions of being just like Bobby Fischer as they spam 100 blitz or rapid games a day. They would be someone who takes a passing interest in the game, fiddles around on the board, reads the literature and becomes acquainted with the masters, and plays a few games OTB from time to time. The adult improver is a master time waster and unserious person in the extreme. But now that online is cooked to boot? Holy hell. Get a grip on yourself. You are not Bobby Fischer. You are a patzter who can’t see four moves ahead and is cortisol spiking every ten minutes against subhuman cheats. If you could see them on the other side of the screen all hunched over in their third world hovel with their phone’s analysis board up, you would feel stupid for wasting your time. Grow up!

This can all be avoided by simply aborting games against all non-white people btw. I'm not saying all of them cheat, but what I am saying is I was never refunded points after playing someone from Norway.
>>

>>563591870
I was using Norway as an example. Obviously every country has its bad apples. My point was there's a much higher likelihood your opponent is cheating if they're from a brown part of the world, particularly countries like India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, etc. As long as one aborts games against those flags, they should be fine for the most part.

>inb4 someone starts crying about closet cheaters.
Yes, they exist. No, there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it, so either stop playing online and retvrn to chess clvbs, or start treating online like the joke it is and play without a care in the world.

Not true, it’s an equal position where black is being annoying. White has nothing to play for and is already on the backfoot. Also, this kind of position really suits Sindarov. I think he has a good chance of winning
I love the way he plays. Always the most annoying, testing moves
>>

>>563597764
He did nothing wrong. He played a great game then joins for analysis and Maurice is immediately going “well Magnus, you missed some opportunities, since according to the engine… blah blah”. It was disrespectful and ignorant. Nobody compares to Stockfish
>>
>>563598687
I completely disagree with everything you said except the last two sentences. He's taking strategic risks to force the issue but it could backfire easily. I doubt Giri is annoyed, he's probably reasonably happy with what he got.

Yes, I can't post from Firefox on Linux and have to resort to phoneposting. Had multiple issues like 502s, silly rangeban messages, having to wait a lot for captcha and simply posts not going through.

thanks for the tips frens but I just grabbed the distro that said most windows-like and simple to use because I just don't care about it beyond not installing win11
using ffmpeg causes a headache already so any other distro is not happening
