A few years back, there was a 4 way tie for first (unless it was 5 🤷♂️🤷♂️)… in the Sinquefield Cup. They had the same rules, but Carlsen, one of the top 2, said “everyone plays the playoff, or I don’t play!” After a meeting of the organizers, they agreed to nobody plays. Integrity

Probably
@MagnusCarlsen
should retire and get on some FIDE commission on cheating. Awaiting the next player Magnus will cancel because they may be cheating. I never thought I’d see the day when the World Champion was such a cry-baby. Dizziness due to success.

Breaking News! Magnus spoke to his chess team before Sinq Cup and told them Hans might be a cheater. He asked them what the absolute worst possible way to handle it would be. They told him to lose to Hans, then withdraw, then next time you play Hans, play one move and resign.

The important thing is to pick a side (Hans or Magnus) and make your views known and let it take over your whole life. The drama is all that matters now. I have spoken!!

I haven’t posted anything, because who cares what I think? But, it’s been on my mind lately… Israel is killing thousands of civilians and destroying thousands of buildings. This is terrible and must stop. Why does anyone think this is a good idea? Killing civilians is horrible.

Organizers need to take a stand. Stop inviting people who don’t want to play chess. They are getting paid a lot to play a board game. It is bad for the chess world. Invite fighting players. There are plenty to choose from.

All the
@STLChessClub
had to do to avoid the controversy was to tell all the players in the Sinq Cup there was a $10 entry fee. Then
@HansMokeNiemann
would not have played, and all would be happy in the chess world.

@32gcfhkmm

But seriously…. 5 chess games mean nothing in the larger scale of things. You can win all of your remaining games and be the comeback kid. Also, as you know by now… always play Bf1… admittedly a very difficult move to find in round 4.

If I had to think of the worst system of deciding a Champion, the one they are using is near the top. Thinking is not their strong suit.

Therefore, Aronian, Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana tied for first — in points and in all tiebreak criteria! The rules stipulated that a drawing of lots would decide which two players would go to the playoff — Carlsen objected, as he thought it to be 'ridiculous'.

Saying someone cheated at poker because they made a bad play is ludicrous. When you accuse of cheating you need tons of evidence. You just willy-nilly call someone a cheater because they played a hand in a strange way. This is bullying. Shameful behavior from some poker “pros”

When Glenn Flear was an IM, he won this tournament over all GMs as a last minute replacement in 1986. Kramnik must think this is “interesting.” No engines then, so, probably getting assistance from someone in the future.

It seems nobody knows when the Fried Liver Opening begins. 4.Ng5 isn’t the Fried Liver. If black plays 5.. Nxd5? And white replies 6.Nxf7, that is the fried liver. As a vegan, I am aghast by the ignorance, even by strong GMs.
