He's a bum hiding behind the new fangled modern format with short time controls. Real chess masters play correspondence with 1 month per move time controls. I once played a single game by mail that took over 9 years. "Then a game by correspondence is the fairest test of skill? Yes; and a match game is fairer than a tournament. In a tournament 'draws' are allowed to count. That is wrong, for a good player is immediately handicapped if his opponent determines to play for a draw. Another objection to tournaments is that the time is too limited, necessarily; the series between any two players cannot be long enough to constitute a true test." - Wilhelm Steinitz

gj Magnus. Did remind of the historical fight between Achilles and Hector "Get up prince of Troy. Get up. I won't let a stone take my glory", as that early pawn move maybe took the wind out of Fabiano. Still he fought and if anything we, the snack munching crowd on the stalls might have left disappointed as we perhaps expected our heroes to master a 960 opening within 15 minutes and not have a game biased that early. We miss Magnus as perhaps the last time he did get challenged was 3 years ago. Why oh why did he let the crown go? Is it better or is it worse than losing it on the board?

GOAT is greatest of all times, so why keep asking the same (stupid) question over and over?

[@kbeeps141]

Throughout the tournament I thought it was unfair that they are given a new starting position for every 2nd game. For the simple reason that not all starting positions in 960 are equal. Say in your 1st game you played white but the position was quite equal and black managed to hold a draw, but in the 2nd game the position is much better for white and now you have to either draw or win with black. It's fairer if they just play the same starting position with colours reversed.

[@nicbentulan]

5th: In a parallel universe where 9LX is standard chess: 1 - People are praising Wesley So, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Bobby Fischer & Anatoly Karpov. Agadmator & Levy are talking about Wesley & Nepo all day long. 2 - Switch Bobby & Garry dates of birth. (Bobby's last name here is probably Nemenyi.) Meanwhile Garry Kasparov invented something strange called 'chess1' aka 'Kasparov Deterministic' where you have only 1 SP. Garry quits the 1975 classical WCC Vs Anatoly Karpov, is arrested in Russia (instead of Japan), immigrates to Iceland and dies in 2008. 1975 is not a big loss. In fact, it's better because Bobby Fischer takes over. 1978 is Bobby vs Anatoly match of the century in Baguio, the Philippines! Idk what happens in 1981, but then 1984 Eugene Torre wins the candidates and faces Anatoly/Bobby! In 1976, I guess Eugene still beats Anatoly. Either Anatoly or Bobby. (Trivia: In our world, Eugene almost beat Bobby in 1992.) 3 - Bobby is still alive in 2024. Bobby, Anatoly, Sergey Karjakin, Wesley, Nepo are on Lex Fridman's podcast while Magnus, Garry & Hikaru aren't. 4 - In the 2019 inaugural world Kasparov Deterministic chess championship (WKDCC), Magnus beats Wesley in 3 classical chess1 games in a row in but no one cares. Fabi is still the top 4 in the 2019 world chess1 championship but the top3 is now Liren. Nepo has never played a chess1 game, just as in our world Liren has never played a recorded 9LX game before 2024Feb. 5 - Wesley/Nepo doesn't quit the 2023 classical WCC. Nepo/Wesley wins 2022 candidates and no one cares about Liren. Wesley So Vs Ian Nepomniachtchi is the biggest rivalry in chess, far exceeding as well as succeeding the next biggest rivalry Bobby Fischer vs Anatoly Karpov, like Better Call Saul to Breaking Bad. Wesley, & Nepo are both considered GOATs along with Bobby & Anatoly. There's no distinction between GOAT & MTOAT. There's a slight bias towards Wesley because Wesley is Bobby's nephew. 6 - Chess' popularity in the Philippines & Norway are inverted. 6a In our world, Bobby had radio interviews in the Philippines. In this world, Garry has radio interviews in Norway. 6b Then Prospero Pichay Jr is imprisoned and the Philippine chess federation is free from corruption. But Wesley is still American. Huhuhu. Oh, in this reality, Magnus' parents are evil and then Magnus gets adopted by religious parents who are friends of Garry, so it's like Magnus is Garry's nephew. The 2019 WKDCC is still like a pseudo - Bobby vs Garry, and it's billed as battle of thei nephews. 7 - But still no one actually really cares about chess1 because no one wants to have a headache over studying the same boring SP again and again. Also its top players Magnus & Garry are still cheaters. But well ok maybe in rapid & blitz chess1 is picking up. (Same as our world. Fiiiine Magnus is right about keeping regular chess for rapid & blitz.) So there's still a 2022 rapid world chess1 championship, half a century after the 1972 REGULAR match of the century. This time Hans Niemann wins beating Hikaru Nakamura on tiebreaks. This time Hikaru accuses Hans, but Hans still sues both Hikaru & Magnus. Ches***m is not sued and is just as good as lichess. Hans is still considered the next Bobby Fischer / Anatoly Karpov while Wesley & Nepo are still considered the current Bobby / Anatoly. 8 - In 2024Feb, FIDE still cancel their 2024 WKDCC, but Wesley & Nepo host a rapid chess1 championship but don't invite Magnus & Liren. Hans isn't a cheater but has still has beef with St Louis Chess Club and so doesn't play that due to scheduling conflicts, but Magnus & Hans are still going to eventually defend the, resp, classical & rapid world chess1 championships. 9 - In general, chess doesn't have that many cheaters, cheating incidents, baseless accusations, etc and has very little corruption, discrimination, treason, politics, etc. FIDE is hailed as 1 of the cleanest sports/gaming organisations. Chess is an olympic sport. Bobby/Anatoly are FIDE officials. 10 - Tiebreaks are settled by armageddon w/ auction rather than lower time controls, so Sergey & Fabi still lose to Wesley/Nepo in resp 2016 & 2018. But no one calls for change of tiebreaks to rapid time controls. Lol. Also, pre-arranged draws are so rare. 11 - Sergey isn't banned because Sergey only privately supports Putin because chess doesn't make people go insane unless they the players want to stick to 1 SP only, like Garry. 12 - Actually here, Bobby has very neutral feminist enlightened political views and is a true patriotic Jew & American ( in politics in addition to still being such a patriot in chess ) while respectfully criticising both US & Israel along side condemning Osama bin Laden / Al-Qaeda & Ismail Haniyeh / Hamas. So Bobby is still against Iraq invasion. 13 - Most importantly, no one cares about Garry, Magnus, Hikaru or Liren. Specifically, in this world, they care less about them as compared to Wesley, Nepo, Bobby & Anatoly in our world. 14 - Paradise. --- Ok back to reality: --- PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's Hikaru's (rapid WFRCC) WIFE vs Wesley's (classical WFRCC) GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc

Just think of it: Bobby Fisher devised this chess variant way back in 1996, when engines were just beginning to have a tremendous impact on the game in terms of infinite preparation and memorization, thereby eroding the creativity, imagination, and spontaneity of the beloved game. Enter Fisher Random Chess, where extensive opening preparation goes out the window, and you're completely on your own from move one!

I don't know if he's alive. He would have loved this happening right now. He said it's the only way to keep chess alive.

[@vcliburn]

And guess what...he may have been right all along! It's nauseating the way top GMs nowadays need to memorize some opening lines well into the middle game in order to avoid losing, or to gain even the slightest edge. I don't think that chess was intended to be that way. @@anderpanders6210

[@vcliburn]

Yes, that may be true! With so much opening prep and memorization by engines…even through the middle game…this may be the only way to keep freshness and and creativity in chess

[@cazorla82]

When Magnus plays a tournament the other players are fighting for second place 😅

[@vcliburn]

I remember back in the mid-to-late 1960s and through early 1972, that was the mindset. Whenever Fischer played in a tournament, every other GM had their eyes on second prize!

[@cazorla82]

@@vcliburn Exactly! Fischer was tired of the classical format and invented his own chess version which depended on raw chess skills instead of in-depth opening prep. Hopefully magnus won't go insane like bobby and will keep entertaining us for at least a decade or so.

[@vcliburn]

Have no fear...Magnus Carlsen is...and always will be...a far-cry from the unstable likes of Bobby Fischer, at least in terms of personal character and individual temperament! Carlsen is just a "regular guy", if you know what I mean. The only notable chess player nowadays emulating Fischer's unstable character...either naturally or by design...is, of course, Hans Niemann. @@cazorla82

[@stilloutside]

We already know who it is😅😅cant bet against him❤

[@tgaudlol]

What do you mean by "queenside" in this game? 😂

[@michaelmassaro4375]

There’s a queenside and kingside castle even in this Random Chess

[@fabianhauser708]

There is also a queen- and kingside in random chess as the castling rules are the same as in regular chess And chess players are generally used to say "queen-" and "kingside" because that is the easiest way for both players to talk about the two sides of the board (other ways are too complicated, e. g. "A to D lines" vs. "E to H lines" or "whites left / blacks right side" vs. "whites right / blacks left side", etc. 😅)

[@tgaudlol]

@@michaelmassaro4375 yeah. But in this game the king was actually queenside. So doesnt make sense

[@thernly]

Now Magnus has to play Wesley and Hikaru, to see if he can compete against the best in this format.

[@markrobertson3054]

Magnus had 0 problem in event apart from 1 game against alireza Magnus won: Champions chess tour finals 2023 Fide world rapid and blitz 2023 2024 chessable masters Freestyle chess ( not even counting world cup / European team championships) Undisputed GOAT!

[@maheshdawani]

fr,no one is even close to him

[@chombachomba9385]

here we go agaaaain✨

[@TheLincolnrailsplitt]

Where are all those people who bagged Magnus and said he couldn't win? He still has a few good years ahead of him. I hope 960 doesn't become the norm.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

That’s crazy how the opening moves can be the difference between winning and losing I wonder how much Random these GMs play in their spare time besides what we get to see in this tournament I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the top GMs don’t play much of it but than again it’s almost like their job to familiarize themselves with all aspects of Chess Thanks for the Game Enjoy your day

[@SamsonZionist]

What kind of Chess is this? the pieces are on the wrong squares? also who is this Magnus Carlsen, is He any good?

Yes👍

[@KirubanithiKiruba-vo6ih]

I already instructed to help Nepo to win candidates matches and after winning candidates matches Chinese are immatured people so has to surrendered to Nepo as I instructed

[@86godhand]

Shit sucks… my boy fabi is like the knicks in the 90s. They were so great but they had to play against the bulls (magnus) and never won a title

[@JayashriKshirsagar-ce1wi]

Please make video on Ashwath kaushik beating GM Jacek stopa {youngest to beat GM}

[@PankajMehtaPanku-yp1bs]

Yes Frist watch ❤

[@Brusselpicker]

The disgusting lack of Respect shown to Bobby Fischer by the chess community in general is unbelievable. It isn't chess 960, it isn't freestyle chess, it's Fischer Random Chess, Fischer invented it because he was bored of opening theory deciding games.

[@erwinjoseph5361]

👍👍👍

[@redeyexxx1841]

Who's Fischer and why is he random??
