 | | chancho: Once Carlsen gets his meathooks on a player and imposes his will on them, they invariably become his <b.itch.> What a freaking talent.
And the prospect of seeing him become an even better player should scare the beejeesus out of the top players. |
|
| Apr-07-19 | | parmetd: Btw could someone please explain these Justin references? I don't get it. |
|
| Apr-07-19 | | Pedro Fernandez: It seems that it is very hard for CG update the Standings. |
|
| Apr-07-19 | | Pedro Fernandez: Yeah Chancho, Carlsen is showing how great he is, following the steps of Karpov and Kasparov. Greetings my friend! |
|
| Apr-07-19 | | Pedro Fernandez: Round 8 looks as the zenith of this extraordinary Tournament. Karjakin drives the white pieces vs Carlsen being this possibly a decisive game. Still Giri has to play with Ding a Mamedyarov. All the luck for him! |
|
| Apr-07-19 | | BOSTER: <update the Standings>.This is psycho trik, Karjakin is still first. |
|
| Apr-07-19 | | boz: The game Mamedyarov-Ding is absolutely fascinating. I thought Mamedyarov was dead lost several times in a King and pawn ending but he held the draw. Worth playing through if you haven't seen it. |

 | | beatgiant: <parmetd> <Btw could someone please explain these Justin references? I don't get it.> I tried googling "Justin Beiber of chess," and it came up with a few news articles from around 2013 calling Carlsen that. To tell the truth, I don't get it either. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Could everyone quit quoting the idiot all reasonable people have on ignore? |
|
| Apr-07-19 | | Clemens Scheitz: <beatgiant>, I imagine the envious would consider both to be spoiled, overrated and without any real talent ( I don't know if it applies to Justin Bieber, but it's definitively wrong for Magnus) Several months ago it would've seemed hard to imagine Carlsen 100 Elo points higher than Karjakin, Kramnik and (especially ) Wesley So, but that's where the champ seats right now... |
|
| Apr-07-19 | | PhilFeeley: <OhioChessFan: Could everyone quit quoting the idiot all reasonable people have on ignore?> Who am I supposed to ignore now? I have a few, so one more won't make much of a difference. |

| | OhioChessFan: <Phil> yeah, I didn't narrow it down much, but I meant <messiah> |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | Imran Iskandar: A loss to Carlsen brings Giri to -3. I’ve always thought it would be a matter of time before Giri makes the step up to above 2800 or world number 2 or 3 (a la Caruana or Ding) but every time he seems to get close, he has a bad event and falls back down again. Perhaps winning his first supertournament soon would provide the spark. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | Messiah: Justin tears incoming. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | nok: <Calling Carlsen Justin isn’t funny. Calling him manchild is lame.> He earned it by being a sore loser and throwing hissy fits. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | Sokrates: Dear <Imran>,
I agree with your musings about Giri. We still wait for his breakthrough, but I have the feeling that he might suffer the same fate as numerous other GMs, who occasionally came very close to the top, but never fully arrived there. In recent times Aronian comes to my mind. Prior to the candidates - with the latest as a good example - Aronian played very well, won great tournaments and we all thought that now was his time to climb the last meters. But then, a steep fall down to the last camp (to stay in the mountain metaphore). My late countryman Bent Larsen is another example. During the last half of the 1960s he won one great tournament after the other and was undoubtedly the most successful tournament player in those years. Then he met Fischer and collapsed completely - never got over it. I have thought a lot about which factors constitute those very few, who succeed in getting a match with the reigning world champion and even become one. I confess that I haven't found those magic factors, besides, of course, the trivial ones: fighting will, pure talent, tenacity, discipline, strength of character. In Giri's case I think both his talent and determination/ambition lacks the necessary "extra", the je ne sais quoi, that is a driving force for Carlsen - and for that sake: Karjakin and Caruana. Giri strikes me as a very extrovert, communicative person - perhaps a more introvert type is requiered. :-) |

| Apr-08-19 | | ChessHigherCat: Everyone is always jealous of the champ but on top of that MC is relatively young and works as a fashion model and has a beautiful wife, which is all the more reason to be envious. In terms of talent though, the comparison couldn't be worse because MC is the best chess player and Bieber is about the worst musician. Finally, Bieber is known to be rude, so the comparison "supports" the baseless claim that MC is rude. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | ChessHigherCat: Or girlfriend, not wife, which is even more reason to be envious! |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | Messiah: <[...]baseless claim that MC is rude.> lol, just lol. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | ChessHigherCat: Yeah, well give me one good example, not that crap about "raising his voice" in an interview with Ashley Obnoxious. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | Messiah: Giri - Resultfixer is a Giuoco Piano, that often goes supercomplicated. Topalov - Ding is a Classical Nimzo, a long theoretical battle is incoming. Radjabov - Anand is a classical QGD, in which the Indian ex-World Champion is very experienced, and extremely prepared. Interesting is that Teimour enabled it! Did he find a novelty? Grischuk - Navara is a Carls-Botvinnik! Why did David choose this one? We will see, a great fight is afoot. Putinist - Justin is the almost usual Sveshnikov with a tiny surprise, the rude kid chose Ne7 instead of his trademark Nb8. Genuinely very interesting. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | Sokrates: Dear <ChessHigherCat>, I hope you will rapidly realise that the troller is completely immune to reason/arguments and ignore both him and his psychopathical posts. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | Messiah: Giri - Resultfixer is a highly complicated discussion in the Giuoco Piano. 19. Nxd4 from Anish is at least strange, a pretty deep analysis will be required. Topalov - Ding liquidated to an about equal late-middlegame, where both of the players have weaknesses. Radjabov - Anand is the exact same, the only difference (apart from missing one pair of rooks) is that Black's play is a little bit more pleasant here. Grischuk - Navara is still a theoretical discussion, although I cannot close out that at least one of them is already out of book - and it is Alexander. Putinist - Justin saw the thematic pawn sacrifice on h5, that was accepted by Sergey! Black has pressure on the kingside, but in the long term White must be somewhat better. Really interesting! |

| Apr-08-19 | | Nina Myers: <Sokrates> I think the correct description of this individual is indeed Psychopath. |
