Always great watching the Masters battle it out! And I really love this kind of commentary. It doesn't assume everyone watching is a master on some level!
First
Cant wait for agadmator recap!
Waiting for Levy's recap on this one. He's awesome!
Amazing games, truly stunning!!
Fifth
what happened?
Since Levy's course was played… He'll definitely make a fantastic video
Waiting for levy
When Ding is in shape he is unstopable
I want to see Carlsen vs Liren ⚔️
This co-commentator of Robert hardly contributes to anything. She simply rephrases his words and then asks him what is black/white's response so Robert is basically doing everything. Not sure what is the point to have such a co-commentator ?
Congratulation to Ding, hope he will be doing well in the world championship
“Most prestigious event of the chess calendar”. Ummm…. the World Championship?
Question: Why do they write down the moves on paper when they can just check them out after the game digitally?
Fantastic commentary, really great presentation!
Hot Indian girl Tania.
How dare they have Karpov ring the gong! Karpov voted in the Duma in favor of Putin's invasion of Ukraine!
Why does Magnus say good things about non-American prodigies like Alireza, Arjun, Andrey Esipenko, Pragg, Vincent Keymer, et al but not for American prodigies like Hans?
Does Magnus Carlsen have something against Americans? Or Jews? Muslims?
Preview:
[BEGIN PREVIEW]
This is what I was told:
Many decisions in tournament chess are made to favor the player that brings in the most sponsorship dollars and views, which is undoubtedly Magnus. There's also no doubt that Magnus generally dislikes americans- he said so on one of the Magnus effect podcast episodes.
[END PREVIEW]
(HUGE UPDATE: See zs4zpf how Magnus has something against Jews more than Americans.)
Part A. Main Americans
Part B. But consider the non-Americans of the next generation:
Part C. Cheating
Part D. Additional:
Part E. Updates:
Bobby Fischer would agree with me and would side with Hans and Wesley over Magnus and Hikaru. I'm not American, but God bless America. I don't think Bobby would like the US government today, but I think Bobby would like the US players today esp Hans and Wesley. I guess Magnus is the reverse: no political opinion on the US but has something against American people or American players, as Magnus admitted in podcast (see yev3a1 ).
Part A. Main Americans
A.1 – Hans Niemann (+ Hans' coach) is American.
A.2 – Wesley So 'completely obliterated' (as agadmator said) Magnus Carlsen in the 9LX world championship 13.5-2.5 and 4-0. Magnus was 'deeply ashamed'.
A.3 – Bobby Fischer invented 9LX, which Magnus sucks at. Look at the low ratings Magnus gave of Bobby in that world champions ranked series. This is what Larry Kaufman told me:
Magnus doesn't generally play such great openings, he strives to get the game out of book as early as possible usually. I think the issue here is that his greatest strength is the endgame, but FRC games are much more likely to be decided in the middlegame as the players are on their own so early. That's probably why he doesn't shine as brightly in FRC as in Classical chess.
A.4 – Actually, the above 3, Hans Niemann, Wesley So and Bobby Fischer are like Beth Harmon: Each is 'a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'. Their stories about overcoming their struggles in childhood are very inspirational. Magnus rated The Queen's Gambit ONLY 5 out of 6.
Part B. But consider the non-Americans of the next generation:
B.1 – Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa is not American: Magnus gives Pragg today round of APPLAUSE after his Stunning performance (Julius Baer Generation Cup 2022)
B.2 – Andrey Esipenko is not American: Magnus 'didn't say anything when got beaten by Esipenko'.
B.3 – Alireza Firouzja is not American: Magnus said like 'I won't play WCC 2023 unless Alireza wins.'
Part C. Cheating
C.1 – Magnus cheated against Daniel 'Danya' Naroditsky on lichess.
C.2 – Magnus cheated against Nepo in 2021 WCC with the knight touch move thing and then said 'do better' as part of gaslighting the reporter.
Nepo isn't American, but…Nepo is Jewish. Not sure of the relation between Jews and the US, but I remember Bobby Fischer kept connecting Jews to the US (or at least to Bush and Clinton). Btw look up 'Bobby Fischer if alive today would support Hans Niemann over Magnus Carlsen … apparently not?!'
C.3 – Magnus also cheated in world blitz 2019 in distracting Alireza. Yes Magnus spoke in Norwegian on own turn BUT AFTER punching clock continued to talk on Alireza's turn.
Again, Alireza isnt American, but well…maybe Alireza's a Muslim similar to how Nepo's a Jew? (Remember when Wesley's account was hacked? Ha6uVGB-Mtw )
Part D. Additional:
D.1 – Magnus described Hikaru Nakamura as merely 'decent'. (However now Hikaru and Magnus are allies re Hans. Hikaru is a traitor to the US.)
D.2 – Eric Rosen beat Magnus in 9LX.
D.3 – Magnus condescendingly asks Andrea Botez how knights move. (Btw papabotez told me that both Andrea and Alex are dual citizens contrary to what Wikipedia said at the time.)
D.4 – Magnus quit the 2022 Sinquefield Cup, named after an American Rex Sinquefield and hosted in St Louis Chess Club in the US.
D.5 – Also there was that thing with Maurice Ashley.
D.6 – When Fabi switched from Italy to the US, Magnus said the US was 'buying nerds'. To this day, the only opponent Magnus hasn't beaten in a classical WCC game is an American, namely Fabi.

Part E. Updates:
E.1
Look up
'Is Magnus against Americans (joke theory)? Kostya Kavutskiy replies in Twitch. (2022Sep)'
E.2
I was told
'Magnus, like most Scandinavians, probably feels like America is a bit of a barbaric country.' – NM John Chernoff aka zugaddict from lichess and reddit (moderator of r/TournamentChess ) aka GargleBlaster from chessc*m told me in chat in 2022Sep.
E.3
Americans had won 4 tournaments in 9LX in a row from 2019Nov to 2022Sep, namely FIDE 2019, St Louis 2020, St Louis 2021 and St Louis 2022. Then there's a European in 2nd place. (Of course this extended to 5 tournaments with FIDE 2022Oct. But to be fair Magnus is the only European winner namely in 2020 tied Hikaru.)
E.4
This is what oprocyona, woke moralist told me:
Many decisions in tournament chess are made to favor the player that brings in the most sponsorship dollars and views, which is undoubtedly Magnus. There's also no doubt that Magnus generally dislikes americans- he said so on one of the Magnus effect podcast episodes.

As for tournament decisions, see 'Parallel between Hans and Fischer Random 2022?' (see ydwn2y and this update zs4zpf )
Note: This post is not (completely) serious. (see yev3a1 and zs4zpf )
P.S. agadmator accepted my suggestion – see As32LdyKDbc
P.P.S. Who's the biggest sore loser?
Light Yagami (death note),
Magnus Carlsen (chess),
Garrett Adelstein (poker),
Magnus Carlsen (chess960)
(HUGE UPDATE: See zs4zpf how Magnus has something against Jews more than Americans.)
P.P.P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See xcdhgq
Tania's commentary and accent is painful.
Too much talking guys.
