[@ChessSniper]

I love Kramnik accusing players. It's like when Southpark makes you into one of their characters.

[@raylopez99]

Or like Weird Al doing a parody of your song...you've arrived.

[@cooloutac]

He could literally accuse every player and be right half the time. Because thats how infested online chess is. And seeing Jospem and Hans at the top of the leaderboards all the time is a smack to the face of chess. Chess is turning into another e-sport, a game only children take seriously.

[@vinozarazzi5633]

Maybe Kramnik is the Chess Worlds answer to Pokers Phil Helmut?

[@cooloutac]

@vinozarazzi5633 in poker they have no problem Banning suspicious players there's a huge difference there. Also yes kramnik still plays more real life tournaments then jospem as a retires player lol. the few that Jospem has played in the past 7 years he hasn't done well.

[@vinozarazzi5633]

"Let's hope I get an easier opponent like Magnus" - Kramdik

[@unfixablegop]

What would normally be a nice line is ruined by the fact that Kramnik just can't help himself alluding to opponent's foul play.

[@cooloutac]

And then Jospem beats Magnus and Kramnik beats Fabiano lmao. It really is a travesty seeing Jospem and Neimans name on the top of the leaderboard every week. A real smack to the face of chess and its future.

[@64MilestotheGallon]

@@cooloutac ... or it's not. You might not have considered that possibility

[@cooloutac]

@64MilestotheGallon it's a complete disgrace man. I'm embarrassed now to tell people I play chess. I think everything fischer said about Chess was right. I don't even know if I should be calling it a sport anymore I guess people are right it's just a math problem . Imagine being a pro chess player and some 8 year old little kid whos only been playing for 3 years beats a super GMs in the world Blitz. Wtf am I even doing playing this game.... I guess on the other token if it wasn't for online chess I wouldn't even be good enough to play the game even if half the people I play with are cheats. But I definitely don't take it seriously it's a joke of a game and an even worse community. Everything about Chess is a disgusting facade.

[@epicchess2021]

haha thanks a lot appreciate it!

[@mcronrn]

About a year ago, I went thru a Hikaru phase. Back then, it was clear that Hikaru respected Jospem - he seemed to consider him a serious competitor, almost an online peer.

[@trollf3]

honestly I only remember Jospem because Magnus did the Knights dance for 8 moves and proceeded to beat him during a lichess tourney

[@bigolboomerbelly4348]

Jospem loves to grind. He's addicted to chess maybe.

[@TheLincolnrailsplitt]

😂 What is his form OTB?

[@chironofcronosthessalia1901]

At this point, there is no point in playing, let alone winning against Kramnik. The peruvian GM played beautifully.

[@aa-fi9ks]

At this point Kramnik is either playing 6D chess or batshit insane

[@stewiegriffin6503]

rook a3 was strange

[@epicchess2021]

😮

[@KF1]

I disagree. Yasser Seirawan taught me by video to ask all the pieces how they're doing, and when you don't know what to do, simply improve a piece by moving it to a defended square, or a more active post. Ra3 follows that basic advice to a tee.

[@hunterkolway4054]

[@Centerboarder]

Engines have taught humans new ways to think about chess. Mr. Kramnik should provide irrefutable direct evidence prior to accusing anyone else. Statistical analysis doesn’t cut it anymore. Per statistics, anyone who ever wins a big lottery has cheated, as the odds are insane.

[@trent.digital]

[@dpo2078]

@ 7:13, isn't Qe3 for white better than moving the rook??? First move I spotted - anybody have the continuation of that line, if white hadn't moved the rook but played Qe3 instead?

I forget details sorry!

According to kramnik, no human is capable to think for themselves.

[@punmije]

Kramnik is insane but to be honest Jospem is sus as f*ck! Many top players share this opinion including MVL, Nepo, Caruana and even Hikaru

[@davidjames149]

Jovanka Houska uses male names for the kingside pawns and female names for the queenside pawns which is a pretty cool way to go about it

I don't know if I can blame Kramnik for being depressed after this one because his opponent played everything so well.

What's the story of that Hans eating popcorn pic? Is that an AI gen thing or what?

[@epicchess2021]

oh no I just asked a thumbnail guy I work with to create it one day, no AI, it was for a 'caption this' competition I ran on the channel and it was during the Kramnik accusing (not 'accusing' in Kramnik's words) Hikaru of cheating drama so could imagine how Hans would be reacting to it all

[@KravMagoo]

@@epicchess2021 I just didn't realize Hans was so hairy.

[@jussischoemakers4879]

Classical chess has been chewed to death. When cheating becomes too hard to prove, it's time to change the rules and move on. Like Bobby Fischer's 960 variant, it's so much more fun. Many others variants are useless without the extra pieces or a bigger board. Lezzz go!

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Funny Kramlik sounds like me after a tough game “Maybe I’ll have an easier opponent next game “ the thing with him is he analyzes the games and doesn’t fathom players are capable of finding Great Moves against him he needs to humble himself a bit and maybe be honest with himself critiquing his own game and admitting he might’ve gone wrong Thanks James entertaining game I didn’t realize he actually said Magnus possible next opponent easier chances ha funny

[@yalcinbayirbasi8984]

Unless you are a stupid cheater, you will deliberately make mistakes after some key moves to avoid attracting attention. You already have the game. And those small mistakes, even big mistakes, will delay you the most for victory. If you are too naive to understand this, they will deceive everyone like you. That's the thing.
