There is no dictionary that you can look up on this, when there is no authority over a slang the correct way is the most common one. And no one has ever said "saced" while everyone ever said "sacked". Saced is objectively wrong, don't act like you are the one thats right because there is no authority over it. To find the "right way" you look at a dictionary, if it is not there then the most common way to say is the "right way" and again, *no one ever says "saced" everyone ever says "sacked"*

@@sajidabdullah8555 then explain how he won against hikaru when he knew he was playing him? They played 15 matches and he won 2 and he wasn’t blind. It’s just excuses. When he wins it’s because he didn’t know his opponent rating, if he loses and the opponent is lower it’s because he didn’t know the rating and over complicated it.

Eric Rosen and Levy have generally been close to equal in terms of strenght and I think there was a point in time where Eric had a positive record against Magnus Carlsen, (might have been 2-0 even, or 2-1). Anything is possible. Also if I remember correctly, Levy has played Magnus atleast once, and maybe even temporarily had a better position against him. I'm pretty sure he made a video of that game like few years ago.

Ok relax buddy that is not what happened at all. I don't like Hans as much as the next guy but let's not make shit up lmao. Maybe picking that opening was a bad idea however he was repeatedly saying he was nervous and I think his giggling was just him being actually a bit nervous. He's not joking because it's true that if he loses this game he will become a laughingstock on the internet, which is exactly what happened BTW. You can tell he's actually pretty depressed near the end when he realizes he's definitely losing.

[@nighttimeasbestos5958]

@@vmdenis3350 their point is that some top players like Kramnik and Hikaru insinuate or outright accuse opps of cheating when they lose. Even when opp is streaming. Hikaru vs. Supi is a pretty bad example for Hikaru where Hikaru lost 4x in a row, even admitting in game that he blundered but then started accusing/insinuating Supi was cheating - made worse by the fact that Hikaru had Supi kicked from a tournament in 2015 for cheating accusations after losing. Kramnik is a living meme at this point with reporting everyone who beats him. I'd say alot of people only know of Hans because of the cheating accusations against him as well.

Levy didn't know who he was playing since he uses an extension that removes his opponents name, but he understood it was a stronger player than him. The reason he does this is to avoid getting affected by seeing who he is playing. It's not until the game is over he knows.

Possibly the funniest chess clip on YT of all time FR.🤣🤣

[@brandons.3097]

There's a nasty trick at the beginning of the fantasy variation for black. You take with the d pawn anyway, then when takes back you push your c to c5, then the next move or the move after depending on if they have a knight out(if it is out, take with the c pawn and if they take with the knight the trap is open, if not you just have an advantage) you spring the trap and check the king with Qh4+. Most of the time they lose the rook because they have to block with g3 so then you take with Qc4+, winning the rook. If everything opens up after that trade your queens and win the game. It works 99% of the time and I'm in my 1000's. Even if they're able to stop it white gets a space advantage.
