nevermind, its just silly to think that lichess doesn't show magnus love and respect he deserves, or at least not as much as they show to other players.
i start getting where you're coming from @mysterious_expert. you are right to some degree. and no i don't think they are noobs, i just think they didn't manage to restart it in a time. but i could be wrong
We run a website. We must be at least ok at coding? Right? :)
As far as not posting blog posts when Magnus wins, we simply couldn't find somebody to write one in time, you shouldn't read anything malicious into it. Obviously we love Magnus! The World Champion plays in our humble little tourneys and often donates the prize money back! What a guy!
i want tobe titled now XD
As Nojoke said, it turns out that lichess doesn't have infinite personnel to deal with everything all the time. Just because something wasn't done doesn't mean it could have been done. Sometimes writing a blog isn't as important as say trying to replicate and fix an annoying bug.
Hmm... pretty surprised to see penguingm not dominating this one
Ahh yes Lichess must hate Magnus, that's why they've written 10+ blog posts in the past about him winning multiple Titled Arenas.
what an attractive game is alireza
Tactics and fast game I love it
"if we should just send money to Alireza every month and not waste time holding a tournament."
How can you say that when just month, it was Magnus who won and not him? No reports published. Report suggests Ali wins every single of those. Magnus is a favorite as well.
"The 6th place finisher probably deserves to be mentioned as he has something of a following on Lichess. GM Magnus Øen Carlsen from Norway, a previous Titled Arena winner..."
What a way to describe the World Champion, multiple times titled arena champion! Something of a following ?? Probably deserves?
Were you trying to be funny?
Do you guys want to drive Magnus away? He is indeed a bit sensitive and once taken an offence, he would just hold onto it for a long while.
Lichess still didn't post something about Magnus' win
Magnus on stream was very frustrated about this tournament, and said that he will win the next one on a better setup (mouse, computer), and from his home. Note: He was playing/streaming for OfferspillSK, so likely a different set up for him. Also I think he got a bad back injury recently.
