just played the funniest game ever
e4 e5d4 d5Nc3 Bb4
white resigns in disgust. computer has him +0.67 but the opening is too sick. he will play against a normal person next, he hopes

the game that just pushed me over 15hundo the opponent resigned inexplicably too material was even i had a better but not dominant position and he was way up on time, i looked at the engine analysis to see if there was some sick tactic i was missing but there wasnt, maybe they just had to be somewhere idk

scandinavian is wild xp i like when ppl play that v me its usually a p fun game, i always take
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 October 2018 00:05 (five years ago) link
Taking is the best move for white iirc I always do it when someone plays scandi against me and anecdotally I’ve found ppl that don’t take don’t do great
― Mordy, Thursday, 4 October 2018 00:19 (five years ago) link
yeah i think its generally agreed that its best

both of them are good but as a proud european i am far more commonly seen with the holy trinity of agad/mato/suren

I need to mix up my opening repertoire. I play Italian or Queens Gambit with white. Then just copy what white does for black (eg. 1. e4 2. e5 1. d4 2. d5) I always lose really badly when I try Sicilian.

Clearly Magnus is trying to torture the commentators.

Somehow I think a random game in a park somewhere would provide more entertainment than this game

carlsen played the sicilian both games with black which no one expected and they both were pretty boring draws anyway lol

no
this match was notable for pathological avoidance of risk. we just need players who don't mind losing so much

Ahhh.

feel they didnt play totally conservatively, like caruana played a gambit one game carlsen played the sicilian every time, imo it was more a combo of playing pretty conservatively being insanely prepared and just being too good? like in the computer analysis at the end of the game itd be all 1 inaccuracy 0 mistakes 0 blunders 6 centipawn loss every time except some games there were zero inaccuracies
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 06:06 (five years ago) link
there were a bunch of times in a post game breakdown where the commentator wld be all caruana must find the absolutely best move here and then he just wld, idk these guys are machines
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 06:08 (five years ago) link
tho carlsen has prob lost half a step
that is also fair. to avoid risk against players this strong you have to be so good
