I love gettin suckas on the ropes early

this game is seriously annoying: https://www.funnyhowtheknightmoves.com/

thought the bump would be for some juicy tata steel chat, but let's see

AAAAAAARGH

okay, bottom right is where the magic happens

I've been enjoying Tata Steel a lot - first time I've followed a chess tournie for a while. Carlsen lost 2 games in a row but seems to be back on form now.

In other news this was an interesting game from John Bartholomew - also the opponent's comments made be lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VQu33G-_ls

we've all seen the Szabo game by now right

Incredible game, constantly shocked

noticed chess trending in the manosphere think it traces back to andrew tate figured he was just using it as a prop but it turns out he can play a little cause he learned from his father was an im https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emory_Tate

this defense the computer digs up is real wild stuff

Taking sides : playing stoned and drunk vs playing not stoned and drunk

magnus played texas holdem on a live stream last night. pretty fun watching him sweat!

its so funny that he resigned the world chess championship and is playing poker instead, he made the final table of wpt tourney a while ago iirc, also hes really good at fantasy soccer, magnus carlson good at games

he’d be so insanely good at poker if he studied, actually might not be fair

Magnus seems pretty funny, hopefully he doesn’t say some sort of Nordic Racial Oopsie on television

always a risk

just watching a few hands he likes to get in there and play some hands you love to see it

botez is chess too right

Saw the 7-2 cooler earlier

Ding is back. Exciting

et encore!

this is such fun

i retract

nothing has gone from being fun to being the least fun thing ever so quickly

honestly makes me regret getting into chess. time to turn away

chess life

so they couldn't prove he stuck vibrating beads up his anus huh?

its kina unclear to me exactly what happened cause they did have very strong evidence towards him being a chronic online cheater and he even admitted to doing it a few times but then chess dot com went and let him back on to the site, the evidence for live cheating was not nearly as strong and he was never banned from live play, he sued magnus et al for defaming him which seemed pretty lame and now magnus agreed to play him again, seems like all sides were just ready to move on which is understandable, but chess.com letting him back on after making such a strong public case that he was a big time cheater is pretty weak imho

seems like he successfully bullied them all via the the legal system

who did, magnus or niemannnn

niemann

put anal beads up your bum then sue everybody who says you did, its a good strategy

Remote control anal bead gambit

Hans is such a heel, I absolutely hate the bloke and love to hate him. Great for the sport. Hope he leans into it in his glorious comeback tour

Neimann 2: turbo anal beads

Ever lose a game so stupidly you never want to play again?
