Carlsen has youtube and twitch channels. On twitch he mostly stream ultrabullet tournaments, actually hasn't for some time. https://www.twitch.tv/maskenissen The youtube you also get a lot of videos from his team, for example them commenting on a tournament magnus plays in. They announced a stream for the upcomming match. https://www.youtube.com/c/themagnuscarlsen And the current favourite of the old thread is Daniel Naroditsky, with his great explanations of how to play better chess and his "speedrun". https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHP9CdeguNUI-_nBv_UXBhw https://www.twitch.tv/gmnaroditsky

Lol, at the announcer doing his best ring voice and then having to wait several minutes for Magnus to actually walk in. That was Maurice Ashley, right?

I got the feeling that carlsen wanted to run nepo out of prep. And when nepo had more of this line prepared then carlsen was expecting he went for the draw.

Those were some crazy swings right before the time control. But before that: Magnus: I am going to play an innovative opening and then trade QvRR. Stockfish: 0.0 basically a forced draw from move 8.

Redmark posted:Is there any data on the most common openings by rating? I'm around 1650 Blitz on lichess and I feel like there's some strange opponent behavior going on. 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Players at 1600  Players over 2000  1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 1600:  Over 2000  I am pretty surprised that Nc3 is so popular, I think it is a terrible move.

Nepo making an innovative move while carlsen is on the crapper or something, now he seems to have to wait in the room because he wants to see carlsen's face when he comes back in 10 minutes.

So, one one hand the world rapid championship has started and is always kinda fun to watch. On the other hand I can't find any commentary channel that I actually like. Fide has terrible recording quality, chess.com has a very boring guy, chess24 has 90% breaks...

Dias posted:Zugzwang is a good word, Germany always comes thru when we need words for abstract concepts. Zugzwang is pretty funny, because it became popular in German in the same year as in English. And it also expanded into being used as an allegory at the same time. In short Nimzo is just that cool.

TrixRabbi posted:Is there a significant difference between how Chess.com and Lichess assess ratings? I've been struggling to get out of the 800s for Rapid games on Chess.com for awhile now, but on Lichess after playing for a bit I've landed around the mid-1300s for rating and I'm not really feeling that much of a difference in the difficulty of the games -- if anything I've been doing a bit better there. Just curious if there's anything to that or if it's just a string of luck. On lichess the default rating is 1500 and the median rating is also around 1500. On chess.com the default rating is 1200 iirc, never looked up the median but it is probably also 1200.

I was actually hoping for ding to get 2. Place after Nepo. Because he hasn't challenged Magnus yet. That would have given the best chance of him defending inserted of retiring. I think. With nepo vs. naka, he can say that he had beaten off both already.

I watch a lot of go, when I am not in the mood for chess and very much prefer their time system. If you don't know, they have large "delays" that is increment that can't be banked, and relatively short main time. With the delay not even starting until the main time is used up. Which in practice for long games means that the players use up their main time fully during the early midgame. And then they get a reliable rhythm for one move per minute for the rest. With commentators often only tuning in after the main time is used up, giving a fun viewing experience. Not sure if it actually is suitable for chess, but someone who actually knows good chess trying any delay or low main time system is something I always wanted. Also, I watched the magnus interview on his channel, and he doesn't say much interesting. Only that he didn't give specific demands to fide, and that he didn't like their unspecified ideas. And that he had been seriously considering stepping down for almost 2 years.

I actually think that the chess champion should be decided without tournament. From a combined score from the various actual championships. Blitz, Rapid, Classical, Correspondence, and ideally another "modern or something" that is between Classical and Rapid.

If you watch any video of Magnus, you can see that he has only two states. One is him visibly straining to keep his assholeness under control to appear professional. And if he loses a game he goes to uncontrolled rear end in a top hat mode.

Promethium posted:I wasn't aware that Nepo had changed his citizenship (I feel it'd be bigger news if he did?) or even switched federation like some other players. He did publicly oppose the war, but so did Dubov and Esipenko and both of them just played in the Russian Championship the past week. He attended without country at the candidates. The same as happened with Alireza a few years ago, when he left Iran for the tournament and just stayed in France. I assume that Nepo also hasn't returned to Russia since that.

qsvui posted:I can't believe the Play Magnus app was bought for $83 million. I've never used it but isn't it just playing against an engine? Are there really that many people that want to play against bots? I was going to say that I enjoyed the puzzles in the app a lot, making it my favourite offline chess app while I was travelling through places with bad internet a few years ago. Then I remembered that that was the other magnus app. And I have never uses Play Magnus.

Reading that thread makes it look like the lawsuit will end in the most boring way possible. With the suit against chess.com dismissed bc it is in the wrong state, and the other ones dismissed bc Hansen didn't claim malice. Also there were several tech/hacker sites building chess assisting buttplugs for some reason. As I understand it, the allegation was that Hansen had an assistant inputting moves, operating the engine and then communicating with him. The hardware should be indistinguishable from a normal remote controlled buttplug that you can buy everywhere and worn in the same way you would wear it for non-cheating reasons.

Huxley posted:OK! Take a stockfish break, go lose to some real people. Just choose one in the middle and then adjust as you like it. I would recommend sticking with high increment, though. If you regularly lose track of your calculations use a faster setting. If you regularly run out of time use a slower setting.

I don't doubt that the team was chanting and making fun of Niemann. After all Carlsen once did a online tournament stream where his team tried to do some rapping about some Norwegian football scandal. But, he doesn't pay people to do things they would do for free.
