Chirico Impressive play by Fabi today
Rhiengold indeed
Rhiengold old school
nldphlz_23 as i said, boring
nldphlz_23 thats typical for antagonists
qwrtyuiop124A Play a chess match and the winner wins the debate(so simple)
SelfControll Fabiano "prep only" Caruana crushing everyone in chess 960
nldphlz_23 ok, im in
Chirico All Victories were with White Pieces today
TakeMyPeace grey pieces no win?
SelfControll This round was very racist, since only white won
MKempes1978 how can one look at the standings
jpfire magnus catching strays from fabi lol
Rhiengold https://chess-results.com/tnr891511.aspx?lan=0
MKempes1978 Thxs.
Rhiengold yw
TheAgeofChess Btw guys, I am looking at the Magnus game. Note that he played 30...Kh7, which was the 2nd best move but still losing.
Rhiengold Magnus isnt used to defend worse positions
TheAgeofChess I checked the entire top line, it's an insane engine level sequence to a draw! 30...g6 31. Rf2 Rg1! 32. Rxc7 Re3+ 33. Kh2 Ree1!!
TheAgeofChess .... continued, and now it's a forced repetion draw, since black is threatening 34...f4.
TheAgeofChess @Rhiengold yee, true that.
Chessmantle Gukesh being put in his place
Chessmantle 4th loss in a row!
chessforfunmunich where have the standings gone?
njswift it's a knockout from here, so there's no standing anymore
b1_ shhh
Rhiengold they often lack standings here
Chirico What's the estimate for White's Average Default Advantage (in Centipawns), across all 960 Positions?
TheAgeofChess @Chirico, oooh, interesting question!
TheAgeofChess No idea myself, but would love to know.
spyputs Probably around +0.2-0.3
Chirico I thought that tge Round Robin preliminaries were pretty silly, given that no players were eliminated
spyputs They were for seeding though
Chirico Is the advantage of the (half -move) Initiative of greater practical importance in 960?
mkhawaja when is the next game?
Chirico There seem to be more decisive games, and none of the 960 Openings seem to be "Drawish"....
Infinitpatzer wow Firo trapped Magnus king! gg
Kamca Games were decisive not because of openings, but because of blunders in the middle game.
Chirico In a sense, Chess 960 can be said to be more dynamic, perhaps leading to greater value for the initiative
risingsilver2021 Firouzja beat Magnus WHAT
zealandzen gg Firouzja
zealandzen and Fabi, Nodirbek
risingsilver2021 Ding had to lose
risingsilver2021 Fabi had to win
spyputs Ding had the highest accuracy of the losers!
Chirico Blunders occur due to lack of familiarity with Middlegame positions
Infinitpatzer gg lady Zeal :)
risingsilver2021 Wait what happened to Keymars advantage
risingsilver2021 I just came after 1 hour and Keymar advantage gone and draw
zealandzen gg Infinitpatzer! gtsy
zealandzen sry for my late reply. I was watching the players pose in their jackets on the video
Infinitpatzer lol Zeal
Infinitpatzer no need for excuses, gtsy too
zealandzen ha! grand times with chess
lizani having the highest accuracy among losers is an aspirational goal
Infinitpatzer oh our lizani is here! Hi
lizani life goes on even if c24 does not
Infinitpatzer still chess24 open, but without events and coverage
Rhiengold classical is a part of 960
lizani what happens if you name a tournament after the goat but he plays like a mule?
Rhiengold moat
Infinitpatzer lol lizani, good you have not a tweet account, else, you will be a big satirical and destroyer
Infinitpatzer well, the organizers are big fans of Magnus, he suggested this format, 960 super tournament, and I think he is the invitor of the players
Infinitpatzer so it doesn't matter if he plays good or bad, he is brave player, and good ambassador
Infinitpatzer invitor = I meant the who invited the players
zealandzen Gukesh had a middle game adv w black, but it ran out
zealandzen we understand chatspeak, Infinitpatzer :)
zealandzen very dubious rc2
luccha1234 Gukesh frustrates
zealandzen Fabi's no rookie :)
zealandzen Gukesh is up-and-coming, doing great, got invited
mkhawaja no more games?
zealandzen hi mkh. Quarterfinal 2 is in 19 hrs
mkhawaja oh so just one game for quarterfinal!
ndgzwo Firo, whoa!
Pony17 Magnus is over the hill, they young guns taking over
zealandzen amazing game by Alireza. delicious game
Pony17 maybe old man Magnus will do better tomorrow
Pony17 hi zea
mkhawaja magnus will play firo tomorrow?
Pony17 knock-out event now
zealandzen hi Pony
zealandzen 2-game matches, 2nd tomorrow, if I get it
zealandzen possible tiebreaks tomorrow, too...that would be yummy
Pony17 and tie-breaks if tied
zealandzen looks good
Kill_Strelok_1 how long are the games in the QF? It 's classical time?
Dude128 90+30/30
Dude128 so 4 hr long games ~
Journey_to_NM Feel so bad for Ding lol
Journey_to_NM He had a long break before to recharge and look lol
Journey_to_NM What does someone do to recover from this
BoldFox_SmarmyMarmot train with Hans ?!?
SaTHsArAdIssAnaYaKEE magnus lost??
Jupiter318 Magnus isnt soo good ate Ches906
Kill_Strelok_1 Thanks @Dude128
yusufozturk2806 how magnus lost
MemphisMcMiller badly. The opening went wrong and Magnus lost a pawn in order to enter a doublerook endgame. Firouza spoiled his advantage once (29.Rc3?),
MemphisMcMiller but Magnus couldnt capitalize on that.
Kirzgesagt Ding is not world champion level, Magnus shouldn’t have relinquished his title.
Kirzgesagt The title loses its prestige if the absolute best doesn’t have it.
derpydrag0nite alireza skilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him pc and game....
NightsHeron Ding does not necessarily need to recover from this. He's world champ, yet it brought him no joy! Your happiness shouldn't depend on
NightsHeron External circumstances. You should learn how to love yourself no matter what. Being a good person and doing your best is enough.
NightsHeron What others think about you shouldn't matter as much as what you think of yourself, and that's within your control
Rhiengold remember Danis Kuandykuly
rehaan_papneja none of the players i was cheering for won their games
Rhiengold maybe in the semis then
marsuplami hello zealandzen... also on lichess i see :)
Dude128 ah zealandzen from chess24 is here now so welcome to ya! I was not a regular on there but saw analysis and such sometimes
Rockytop Do you guys think magnus will come back and beat firouzja?
Rhiengold seems the germans evaporated
Rhiengold prolly a matter of language
Rhiengold abraham will guide them to a save place
byebob lol
byebob ding has 0.5 out of 8
birddenhig no,my poor Ding LiRen
UnifiedHeron2 le epik
elast0ny oooo new broadcast UI
ProfessorEuphoria Palestine ️
Infinitpatzer just imagine Ding hires Hans as a second in the wcc match lol
KainosWong bruh
SHIVAMSABAT Ding has not won a game
Mika090715 Hello
Rhiengold today is the day
Rhiengold Alexander Alestine
Rhiengold dont just gaze
Rhiengold embrace the centaur
Rhiengold so its possible to criticise in a democracy too
Rhiengold (arass sor)
FM bubeliang does anybody know if there will be made a fide chess960 rating because i think it was a topic a few years ago
Rhiengold AAA
Rhiengold swift won!
Rhiengold in butter soul
Paja_85 Yesterday was just insane by Alireza, basically apart from 1 incorrect move it was top stockfish line
Paja_85 Fortunately, beauty of Fischer random is that he can't easily play for a draw today.
Rhiengold a good player is always happy
Rhiengold trivial pursuit
BeautifulChaos Go Magnus
luccha1234 Wow, kincent got eliminated...just an unbelievable thing
slawl ding chilling
themiddleway only vinnie didn't white out yesterday
Avaneesh2013 vincent drew with him
Chessstudy_2021 there is no chess960 rating @bubeliang the icelandic chess federation proposed the idea in 2018
theblunderer326 nice
