Years ago my team of 4 (sub-1200) entered an adult tournament in which one elementary school team competed, just for the experience, planning 💯% on losing every game. I’m board 4 because I’m weak. Luckily I win quickly, as do our 1 & 2. My friend on board 3-truly the smartest person I’ve ever met IRL-blundered a piece mid game just from the pressure of sitting across from a 2nd grader. As other games ended players walked by and tsk tsked, and my friends anxiety skyrocketed. People were staring. He went down material again & at some point it was too humiliating. Little guy screams “You RESIGN?!!?” (They never do in low level school chess, anyone can slip.) Kid runs off celebrating, his little team in total joy for their only win of the tournament, and my poor friend got “oh, you’re THAT guy” commiserations the rest of the weekend. Playing 8-year-olds. Your mind can just fail. I feel for the GM.

[@ericshinn6737]

I lose to an 8-year every tournament I enter LOL. I've definitely heard that incredulous "You RESIGN!?" Also "Mom, I defended a losing position... and WON!" And it's not just the kids who celebrate - Last time the parents asked if they could photograph my notation sheet of the moves as a memento since my opponent wasn't writing them down, they were so proud. It's hard losing to children, but their joy is hard not to appreciate :)

At 2350, he would probably beat me in 950 out of 1000 games. I may be able to squeeze in 50 draws (if I was really focused). Very unlikely I would beat him even once. Now, admittedly, I am worse than this prodigious kid. But on the topic of the GM's 2350 rating, he could beat chess loving amateur players like me, day in and day out, at will.

Great channel, thank you for the brilliant analysis of these games. This particular one resounded because I was always considered a chess star when I was a boy. I played board 1 for my school from the age of 11. The problem was I just wasn't interested in learning chess theory, really didn't get any better, and gave up when I started losing in competition when I was 17. What I really want to say is that the analysis of the games you post is brilliant and it really is bringing back my interest in playing chess again. Thank you.

2nd: 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

Very impressive game by this young guy. By a twist of fate I am trying to establish a new kind of chess game and I couldn´t have asked for a better timing to present it in the light of this new comer´s entrance on the internet. The game is called "Double draw" and the simple point of it is to eliminate blacks disadvantage of being a step behind all the time. The rules is as follows : White starts as usual with one draw then black makes two consecutive draws followed with two draws for white and so it continues throughout the game. You are only allowed to check on your SECOND draw and you have to use two DIFFERENT pieces for the double draw unless of course you´re only left with the king. I tried this just recently in a IRL game so I don´t really know if there are any illogicality that might occur due to the rules in more complicated positions. Please try with your friends and let me know what you think ; but you have to play IRL games as you can´t find this on internet. Yet!

Super unpopular opinion. But if you’re a GM and your rating drops below 2300 in classical, you should lose your GM title and be forced to grind to get it back.

Especially if you are under 50 years old

But then it is basically taking away your trophy for passing a performance benchmark. If you drop to 2250 and have your title revoked you are now indistinguishable from people who reached 2250 and never got any stronger. He is not pretending to be stronger than he is with the GM title as we can clearly see his rating.

2351 for a GM? That must be a record in itself.

[@iecns89]

Can still easily beat you (up) lol

[@worsethanjoerogan8061]

Not even close to the lowest rated GM.

[@jozefserf2024]
