Say what you want about Magnus ...

All in all he is the new Chessiah we‘ve all been waiting for so long.

People always recognize this (too) late.
I don't think I've ever seen MC offering draw in a winning position. He is one of the greatest fighters in chess history.
"""Actions speak louder than words"""
Quadruple respect for Magnus Carlsen.
Won both competitions.
Donate both earnings to Lichess.
Bra gjort!
String him up. Lynch the young soul who displays his emotions on his sleeve.
A learning experience. Something he will grow from and has demonstrated the ability to do so.

As to you 2Q1C (Timid) you've made your points. Being one who is never able to learn from past mistakes, feel free to create your own thread mocking and disparaging Carlsen. Senseable comments about the man are welcome, but not this obvious hatred towards the World Champion which leads nowhere.

Let's not get into your past behavior at another site. Simply start your own thread and kindly stay away. You've had your say. Please desist from creating discord.
Don't make a thread titled, "say what you want about Magnus" and then get upset when someone says what they want about Magnus!

I think he is the best player to ever step foot on this planet but is also a bit rude. Ok. Now I'll get my coat.
Carlsen gave Naka and other players draws in winning positions (bullet) in their CC matches, after Magnus had already won the match.

The title says "Say what you want". It does not say "Say Anything you want". There is a big difference. I'll make the age old comparison of someone "shouting fire" in a theater. This is not freedom of speech and is in fact criminal. Saying "what you want" implies a reasonable respectful manner. It does not include statements as "playing major online events can be done in your underwear, there is no effort involved" and suggesting this is what a WC does. These statements are mocking by nature, recognized by everyone as such and are not appropriate.
How many others would actually donate back to lichess?

Kudos to Carlsen. Great chess player and great person in my book.

Case closed.
