Magnus Carlsen

When was the last time he played through any of his known accounts here on lichess?? has he shifted away completely?
I don't follow much chess streams but I think he has moved on. it's the chess.com black hole.

anyone who earns money through chess.com never publicly plays on lichess or mentions lichess. I guess contracts aren't really talked about publicly, maybe confidentiality agreements, but they never stream on lichess and if they do play on lichess it's in private, not recorded, not with a publicly known account.

anything that chess.com perceives as competition is blacklisted. can't post anything about it on their forums, can't mention them on streams, can't show their logos unless chess.com buys them.

chess.com is owned by a major online gambling company.

it's perfectly fine to talk about chess.com or any other chess related site or business here. pretending you can't goes against lichess vision and goals.

imagine a chess.com ad that highlights they are owned by a major online gambling company rocked by cheating scandals that blacklists mentioning all other chess sites. in what universe would that be considered an ad?

Trying to imagine what you describe; but, somehow, am thin on the ground on the matter.

In our universe, because it will end in heat death due to the by-product of every thermodynamic process being in the form of thermal energy - but does this mean one shouldn't try?
He went 1.d4 b5 today (... went on to lose).

Polish Opening against a Polish player, well then.

There's no accounting for taste.
