I'm team Magnus, but I do lol at Ian's facial expressions. Especially when the "Celebrity first move" was 1.d4 and he grinned and retracted the piece and replayed 1.e4 edit: Yeah I'm definitely enjoying the Chess24 baby stream, as much as I'd love to say I'm at the Kramnik/Svidler level algebra testes fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Nov 28, 2021 |

I'm watching the replay now and the Chess24 stream is really loose and funny while at the same time as Magnus putting on the incredible squeeze is great TV. The Korchnoi/Karpov stories always crack me up.

The only one on the front foot was Karjakan went up a game didn't he? But that was after Carlsen missed winning chances in one of the others if I recall.

Salt Fish posted:Yasser was a 2nd to Korchnoi in his first WC match againt Karpov and he has a bunch of crazy stories about it. He's in a documentary called Closing Gambit which was pretty interesting if not a little bit weird stylistically, Like a cheap history channel special. Is that the one where someone had the hypnotist or mind control guy? That cracks me up. The stories from that event were crazy.

Or you can go down the engine wormhole and buy a copy of Kommodo like I did and document all your games in a master library so every lovely 1000 elo 10 min rapid game you have done is in the record books.

What I find funny is with 2 wins in 24 games over 2 World Championships before last time I was actually disappointed with Nepo's capitulation even though it meant decisive results.

See, normally if you go one on one with another grand master, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, to beat me. Then you add Richard Rapport to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning! Lmao

I dunno I learned a bunch of 1 d4 theory from a grandmaster Catalan book and it was a) a lot of fun and b) helpful to understand the big picture. Also it means you generally get a better game because pieces aren't splayed across the board like Fischer Random. However, I did this because it was fun and I enjoyed it. It would have made me a better player to just study tactics however.
