hrittik16 Hola Mundu
hrittik16 Garry will lose all his games
ajit_kun be polite
analysisbaskent6 garry is much better than anyone else in this tournament
analysisbaskent6 he is just old
ajit_kun yu too
analysisbaskent6 im young enough to be the next garry
analysisbaskent6 :)
ajit_kun nice joke
analysisbaskent6 by the way really if this was solving or analyzing contest garry would crush them but now garry doesnt deserve to win these events because
analysisbaskent6 he did win much more than anyone else when some of the players werent even existing
analysisbaskent6 but if he wins it will be surprising but it will only increase the relevance of garrys goat status
Firehand saint louis tournament has been always the main stream tournament, but now completely ignored by chess.com and chess24, whats going on?
ajit_kun not much money there
analysisbaskent6 its because all these platforms has anti policy against saint louis club
Firehand which anti policy, and why?
analysisbaskent6 because of multiple sexual misconduct allegations
analysisbaskent6 against saint louis club
gepetto2 there's some allegations going on and chess.com, and lichess stopped supporting them
analysisbaskent6 and i forgot that i was looking for the broadcast for minutes
Firehand what allegations, something about hans niemann or what?
analysisbaskent6 not about hans niemann
analysisbaskent6 against teimur garayev and
ajit_kun robson is playing so accutrate
analysisbaskent6 what was the name of the other gm
gepetto2 interestingly enough STLC use Lichess on official stream, but I guess it's open source etc
analysisbaskent6 alejandro ramirez
analysisbaskent6 yeah they cant really say like you cant use my site
analysisbaskent6 maybe they can by banning them
gepetto2 that would be funny
Firehand Ramirez not involved this year anyway?
analysisbaskent6 yeah lol the stream ends instantly and everyone is what
analysisbaskent6 yes not involved but stl and uscf didnt take action early they took action after the allegations were announced publicly
ajit_kun How do you know it?
analysisbaskent6 articles
analysisbaskent6 from stl uscf and chesscom
analysisbaskent6 you can see the truth
nikonoel lichess.org/blog/ZNTniBEAACEAJZTn/breaking-the-silence
gepetto2 https://www.chess.com/news/view/wsj-chess-servers-end-support-for-saint-louis-tournaments
gepetto2 here's from chess.com
ajit_kun wow
ajit_kun shit
analysisbaskent6 some really bad stuff were going on
nikonoel The article basically says that STLCC knew about Ramirez and didn't do anything.
vurk didn't they fire him?
analysisbaskent6 they did but it was too late
nikonoel That's a great question indeed! You would think that firing a sexual assaulter is a no-brainer
ajit_kun is hikaru going to lose
ajit_kun ?
nikonoel They waited until they couldn't get away with it anymore, then they pushed him out.
analysisbaskent6 yes most likely hikaru is going to lose
Qualm is Garry going to win?
analysisbaskent6 is garry up a healthy pawn?
analysisbaskent6 Bxh7 will be possible but position is miserable
Firehand Garry only winning chances were a5 before castling, so his a8 rook was behind the pawn and supporting attact
analysisbaskent6 explain me why he is not up a pawn
analysisbaskent6 things might get complicated but he is up a pawn
Firehand not healthy pawn, when there are doubled c-pawnes
analysisbaskent6 thats correct
analysisbaskent6 i didnt realize Qxc6 Rxe6 first from far away
Firehand but Garry is master of playing with bishop pair!
ajit_kun wesley is not easy too
analysisbaskent6 in a way the pawn he is up is healthy since its just passed and not a pawn on h6
analysisbaskent6 or something
KVlllyn Blundeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
analysisbaskent6 kasparov is my hero
analysisbaskent6 im proud to see him winning at age 60 against top elite gm
ajit_kun yeah
ajit_kun they fucking drew it
analysisbaskent6 yeah thats how nakamura is the best speed chess player especially in online
analysisbaskent6 he just can defend lost positions with extra time
IpsiHouseLover wait... is lichess finally covering this tournament?
analysisbaskent6 yes but the tournament is not in the main tournaments page
IpsiHouseLover so that's like... nothing
Solal35 Hello, Lichess is not handling the coverage (you can see the broadcast creator is not part of the Lichess team), but anyone can do it, it's
Solal35 just not featured
IpsiHouseLover ok, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining
analysisbaskent6 i wont my hero get bullied by todays top gms it cant happen while im watching :D
analysisbaskent6 wont let*
ajit_kun Black pieces are dominating today
Masky95 nice to see garry have fun
Masky95 Shankland is on the board good for him- he's been having a major slump in pro chess recently
YaChessNoob Омозонка! А я тебя вижу :)
dongod The youtube channel is instantly banning anyone mentioning their mishandling of allegations
jfarragut I thought lichess withdrew coverage of all SLCC events
explosive_c4c4 lichess is free for all to use so its not possible for them to stop giving them broadcast privileges
explosive_c4c4 but they've stopped front paging them
Chessstudy_2021 i see some comments about it on youtube
Chessstudy_2021 doesn't look like everyone is banned
grollenicht Im glad we can follow this tournament here, pity i missed the first day because it wasnt featured :(
