Pretty sad that most of these guys don't even shake her hand at the end...Nemo just keeps smiling and giving them free lessons! Keep being you Nemo!!

[@MagicalJovny]

I'm not sure but I think that most of these players don't shake hands whoever they're opponent is. When I play in club it is normal to not shake hands because everybody knows each other.

[@HuiMingLiMargie]

@@MagicalJovny I personally find it offensive if a player does not shake my hand- i find it extremely rude- its like as if they are saying "you got lucky" or something or they still think they are so much better. I find men do this a lot to women chess players like myself and Nemo

Always good. He switched to touch move to avoid defeat 😂

[@adamcrapple6089]

Touch move should always be expected when the rules are not mentioned. Clock move must be declared before the game because it is a more lenient rule. Or why do you think players say “adjust” before touching a piece without moving it…? Nemo should have gracefully accepted a loss in the last game.

[@walnoemispoyt5604]

@@adamcrapple6089 The clock move rule has already been declared before the game started. The video has been edited so that you just see the games. Furthermore every opponent has been touching the clock so there really is no excuse to change at any moment to touch move.

It's never "touch move" in friendly games unless declared clearly beforehand. He knew he was losing and desperately hoped he could cash in on the touch. Nemo kicking butt with a smile!

[@kevinblackkk6945]

Except she was the first to adhere to the touch-move rule. Go watch the game, she keeps the contact with the piece every time she touches it, never letting go, so she was applying that rule. She just made a mistake.... showing after to be a sore loser

[@pa-mo]

@@kevinblackkk6945 That's doesn't mean anything. If it wasn't clear that touch move was the rule, then it's not the rule. She allowed another player to "fix" an illegal move (moving a queen diagonally, he ended up on a different color square) which she didn't immediately say "illegal move, I won". He was a dick to toss the pieces as soon as he decided it was touch move rules. He could have warned her and said, let's make it touch move from here forward, since it clearly wasn't clear!

[@jgarris0577]

SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

[@kevinblackkk6945]

@@pa-mo She's the GM, so she is the one that has something to prove, not the others (whom are mostly unrated). So, even if it wasn't explicitly said, she should have not given her opponents any excuse. And, in fact, you can see she is playing with that idea through all the matches, never releasing the piece before committing, never touching a piece and moving another before clock is touched. Finally, also consider that even if touch-move was explicitly said, a well respected GM would always let a very low(er) rated opponent redo its move

Wrong. I don’t know that. Clock move only (not “especially”…?😂) applies when it’s agreed beforehand. Otherwise the more strict/offical rule, which is touch move, applies! Or can you explain to me why people usually say “adjust” before touching a piece if they don’t intend to move it…?

[@callfourzero1931]

I watch chess, I don't play and I don't know how man/woman rankings work. Man/man or man/woman or woman/woman games used to have the understanding that men and woman like exclusive clubs or events. I've played coed softball, it's an unwritten rule you don't destroy a female catcher diving into home base. It's legal, not at all proper. In the games presented here men accepted a female challenger. If it were a men's cigar smoking club they may not have. On the question of being rude; chess is a nasty game. Whatever your outward appearance you need cold calculating heart to play this game. It shows in rudeness.

[@rowenblue]

There is no such thing as a “men’s grandmaster”, just Grandmaster, which people of any gender can achieve. Titles with “woman” in them are entirely separate titles, achievable at lower ratings than their genderless counterparts, invented to encourage more women to advance in chess, much like women only tournaments and women’s awards. Whether the women specific titles and tournaments are helping or hindering the push to close the gender gap in chess is a hotly debated topic with no clear answer, but that’s the way it is right now.

[@KarlKarsnark]

@@rowenblue " Titles with “woman” in them are entirely separate titles, achievable at lower ratings than their genderless counterparts, invented to encourage more women to advance in chess, much like women only tournaments and women’s awards." So they make the tacitly admission that "woman's" is a lower skill set. LOL! Do we have "Women's Math" and "Women's Physics" to "encourage more women to advance in [science]"? LOL! As ever, Leftism pwn's itself right from the start and only leads others to question the competency of those they are meant to help. I bet they can't/won't even define what the term "woman" means. Could Magnus compete "as a woman" if (s)he chose to "identify as one" for a tournament? I bet not ;) This is just so sad and pathetic and predictable. LOL!
