actually other players are also playing there so they whisper to each other. They try their best to keep their voice low

Just think that pragg, vidit, gukesh all three sortout themselves that who will win and then both two support him by loosing against him intensionally 😊😂😂😂

[@harshitjain1252]

It's an individual game at the end so next to impossible to lose deliberately...A drawish game can still be intentionally played I think

[@yashgoyal640]

Sounds like a strategy coming from under 1000 elo rated player 😂

[@sskgrs]

The rules should be changed to make the games more interesting. Win should get 3 points and draw 1 point !!!!!

[@utarian7]

This is literally why Bobby Fischer created Fischer Random. It's superior to conventional (current) chess in every way, but traditionalists and rigid bureaucracy hinder transition to it. It's also the only tournament Magnus has never won. First it was Wesley So then Nakamura. Magnus did well, but it was a complete game changer when memorisation was eliminated as a factor.

[@karthik.karunanithi]

Because it's fixed

[@TheMrBennito]

looks like neither of them want to play for the win, repetition was easily decided upon

[@prakhyatsingh263]

I mean vidit needed the win cause he needs prag and Hikari to loose aswell

[@karanarora1468]

Why Vidit doesn't wear belt 🤔

[@1999NIRUPAM]

He doesn’t need one

[@landonmiller5882]

Some games the first to 3 fold rep should loose. Draws like this are ridiculous.

[@shailesh_joshi]

0.5 points should be deducted for every draw.
