Is he the buttplug guy?
His impact on chess is the worst in decades
>Bunch of low-skill homosexuals flood every venue discussing chess, and spend weeks talking about headlines, rather than chess
Chess general went from regular thread about chess to tourist haven.
as someone who's been following chess for 15 years, I think his impact is hilarious and I don't care if it creates immature discussions. Chess elitism is super cringe, the more eyes on the game the better
>the more eyes on the game
>on the game
Key words
Guess what didn't happen
what do you mean? chess is thriving compared to 15 years ago. Chess scandals and the Hans chess villain arc makes the "boring" 1000 year old game seem more interesting, and yes brings more people in the chess orbit.
>Chess elitism is super cringe
This. I don't care about my elo I just want to move pieces.
he didn't cheat though, that's just Magnus and his morono rabid fans sperging over how their precious little king got destroyed by an outsider and denied historic rating. That's what you get for being a pompous arrogant homosexual, cosmic justice in action.
>didn't cheat
>admitted to cheating
It's not about Magnus, it's about cheaters at that level. This isn't baseball or football, we expect a fair game.
Sage. Let's get back to chess
typical chess homosexual, says something obviously wrong and then finishes his own post with "last word nobody else gets to respond or it's off topic"
He pretty verifiably cheated, a large subset of his games from tournaments are 99% accuracy in stockfish
That's a fallacious conspiracy theory that originates with a French troony. This has already been DEBUNKED.
>This has already been DEBUNKED.
kek, the deboonker in the wild
He literally admitted himself that he cheated online.
If you don't count a person's own admission (not under torture or anything, just regular admission), then what do you count?
maybe you're not aware of the details, but he only admitted to having cheated on two occasions and they were online, once when he was 12 and another when he was 16. What the other anon is saying is that he supposedly never cheated in person/over the board, and that includes the infamous game where he beat Magnus. I think most of the chess world agrees he didn't cheat in that game, but because there's a lot of psychology in chess, it creates a bad atmosphere for other players to play someone who's at the very least been caught cheating online multiple times. He's also very arrogant (almost like he's forcing it) and has a very fake sounding accent he claims to have picked up in Europe. So people don't trust him even if he is actually a strong player.
I can't find it atm but I'm pretty sure I read he admitted to chessdotcom staff that he cheated after that (after he was 16), but spoke to the press later as if he hadn't.
not sure, maybe you're remembering the chess dot com report that says he likely cheated many times online, including in money events. That report is still up, so apparently taking it down wasn't part of the settlement. If I was innocent, I'd be pretty upset a report like that is hosted on the biggest chess website in the world.
He just lost a junior championship he was just barely young enough to enter and was the favorite going in to it (by rating) by a lot.
There should be a separate chess competition where you are encouraged to cheat but still lose the match if you get caught. Naruto chess
This would be amazing
Or a game where everyone has a vibrating butt plug in that randomly goes off during the game. If you cum, you lose.
Imagine white knighting for a man, lmao.
These are the words of a gender traitor.
It wouldn't be that hard to make chess of all things cheat-proof. Lock them in a place with a judge and no outside signal (landline for emergencies), and for good measure, show the game to spectators on a 5 minute delay to make signalling that much harder. At that point, the only way to cheat is to excuse yourself to the toilet and try to quickly mash the position in on a phone
What if they excuse themselves to he toilet and mash the position in on their iPhone?
