Hand Knit posted:Carlsen is blundering and Caruana is playing with total cowardice. Carlsen is deffo doing that thing where he sometimes takes dumb chances in some sort of mental game I assume and Caruana is playing like a guy who doesn't need to win during these rounds and can totally go toe-to-toe with Carlsen during the lightning rounds and such. Which, you know, might not be the case.

No what the actual gently caress. Obviously I don't know enough about chess to understand that decision but what the hell. Is it just that 90 moves ahead Carlsen saw an inevatible remis? Caruana just said he was surprised.

That's kind of inhuman. Are we sure Carlsen isn't an AI?

Teddybear posted:God, that three weeks of chess could be decided by one missed move... If anything, shows Caruana's quality. He's gone toe to toe with a monster of a chess player and matched him completely so far.

Hand Knit posted:I feel like that's a bit strong. How so? I mean I'm very impressed with Caruana so far. And Carlsen, I mean... He's pretty scary to play against.

Hand Knit posted:I feel like 2014 Carlsen would've been around +4 with the way things have gone. I see your point. Yeah, maybe. I honestly don't know what's up with that, if it's general fatigue or if he's slowing down or is prepping wrong. Even slow Carlsen is pretty scary though.

vyelkin posted:The rapids are really exposing how once Caruana gets out of his insane engine prep he's simply not as good as Carlsen. A lot of people have been expecting exactly this scenario though. It's one of the main defences I've heard for Carlsen offering remis in the 12th game, that there was no benefit to risking it all in the last game against a very strong opponent over just playing to his strenghts like what's happening now.

Super Jay Mann posted:Maybe players like Caruana should just git gud at Rapid and maybe they wouldn't be embarrassed like this. I'm actually comfortable with the champion being the overall best player in playoffs such as this. But yes, I think that would be the most entertaining.
