Players Replicas to Pose for Photos, While Real Players Avoid Being in Public Hand Knit posted:The two draws also could've easily been results as well. Hell of a round one. I wonder if Ding's thrown off by having to gently caress around in a hotel for two weeks before playing, since he really just kind of exploded. That and Wang Hao having to play the tournament without his seconds seems a bit unfair.

Sub Par posted:Edit: Wow, did Magnus really suggest that Radjabov was dropping because he was afraid/didn't really want to play? That's pretty douchey. Radjabov himself, after qualifying, said he doesn't know yet whether he'll want to play at the candidates or not, so that's not a completely unfair suggestion.

Singling out Wang like that is part of the reason I'm not enamoured with this "Radjabov was the real hero all along!!" -narrative going on now. Both Chinese players got treated like crap for being Chinese (Ding with the two week isolation and quarantine, Wang with having to play without his team) and both of them went on with it despite of that, but hey, we've got a hero here, the guy who didn't know whether he wanted to participate to begin with who also now withdrew because this one particular Chinese person is there or something. Everyone is Captain Hindsight now, me included, but I don't see how Radjabov is particularly deserving of anyhing here. edit: Anish Giri has solved the problem https://twitter.com/anishgiri/status/1243803228363423744 jvilmi fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Mar 28, 2020 |
