I've gotten through about half the Naka podcast so far (didn't get to the Elon comment yet, lmao), and a big thing that stuck out to me was when he discussed how chess didn't come naturally to him. To paraphrase: when Naka was very young, his parents and others thought his younger brother was more naturally talented than him at chess, and after playing for a while, they basically asked Naka to step away from chess for 6 months so they can focus their efforts on the more promising little brother. That was just such a big "OOOoooooohhhhhhhh" moment of understanding. Like with most of Lex's interviews, I'm coming away with a much better understanding and level of empathy for the guest. I agree the Magnus interview was very interesting as well, but I didn't take his comments about slacking on study to mean that he's just that much of a natural. I took it more like he's just completely and overwhelmingly obsessed with the game that periods where he isn't thinking about the game are more remarkable. He mentioned that he reads chess books constantly and when not reading, he's thinking about positions from books and games and calculating variations in his mind. So he's essentially spawning imaginary games against himself from other interesting ones. In conclusion: Magnus in some respect self-trains like AlphaGo.

It's not like he hasn't studied all of that stuff in the past though, he regularly recalls old historical games published from books and things like that.

One Hundred Million Dollars! Love it. Not a lawyer but I assume this has basically no chance of going anywhere though since he is a confessed chester and this is the US where the bar for this is high. Edit: are legal complaints usually this purple prose wise? "When tournament officials refused to comply with Carlsen’s corrupt and cowardly demand to baselessly eliminate Niemann from competition, Carlsen lashed out again, this time by boycotting the remainder of the Sinquefield Cup in protest—an unprecedented act for a top chess professional, let alone the reigning World Champion." Doesn't seem very legal sounding to me. neaden fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Oct 20, 2022 |

Over the years, Play Magnus has grown into one of the two largest online chess companies in the world, second only to the multi-billion-dollar behemoth Chess.com, LLC (“Chess.com”). In August 2022, Chess.com agreed to acquire Play Magnus for nearly $83 million and merge the two companies in order to monopolize the chess world.Carlsen, having solidified his position as the “King of Chess,” believes that when it comes to chess, he can do whatever he wants and get away with it.

Days later, Carlsen was scheduled to play Niemann again in the Julius Baer Generation Cup. Rather than seek to redeem himself from his unexpected loss to Niemann, Carlsen, the “King of Chess,” gutlessly forfeited the game after making one move, and then issued a press release repeating his false accusations that Niemann had cheated against him at the Sinquefield Cup. 11. Carlsen’s unprecedented actions, coupled with his unfounded accusations, sent shock waves through the chess world and instantly thrust Niemann into the center of what is now widely reported as the single biggest chess scandal in history.

Control Volume posted:Im afraid that sounds extremely like legalese in america It's bog standard plaintiff-side purple prose. This is not legalese, but it is also not unusual. I'm a jaded corporate defense attorney, so I'm incredibly biased here, but you see this type of language in basically every single complaint. Usually its a substitute for actual factual allegations - distracting from the fact that you have nothing by saying a lot of forceful things. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Oct 20, 2022 |

77. Unnerved by Niemann’s unexpected confidence and early strategic advantage, Carlsen made numerous mistakes upon which Niemann capitalized to secure a tremendous victory over Carlsen, which, by all accounts, should have propelled Niemann’s career to the next level and allowed him to continue realizing his enormous potential as the next great American chess player. 78. Unbeknownst to Niemann at the time, Defendants would do whatever it took ensure that this would never happen.

These are more trumped-up, false allegations, specifically designed to further defame Niemann by accusing him of not only being a serial online cheater, but now also a liar. 106. In fact, the very first public comment to this tweet was “Ha! Hans is a liar!”

My favorite part of the complaint is that it paints Hikaru as a lackey who is on Carlsen's payroll. Hikaru going to love that. 14. Nonetheless, following Carlsen’s baseless and retaliatory accusations, Carlsen unleashed his media empire to fan the flames of Carlsen’s cheating accusations, drown out the legitimate evidence refuting them, blacklist Niemann from top-level chess tournaments, and protect, at any cost, his eponymous Play Magnus brand and status as “King of Chess.” Almost immediately thereafter: ... (b) Defendant Hikaru Nakamura (“Nakamura”)—Chess.com’s most influential streaming partner—acting in collusion with Carlsen and Chess.com, published hours of video content amplifying and attempting to bolster Carlsen’s false cheating allegations against Niemann with numerous additional defamatory statements;
