 | | Teyss: <Check It Out> <Atterdag> You don't understand, masks are part of an alien conspiracy designed to hide E.T. faces in order to invade the planet progressively without us noticing. Else there wouldn't be any purpose to impose wearing them. I read it somewhere on the net where truth flourishes. Generally I stay out of covid-related debates because they raise so many fake news and passions, but there are limits. |
|
| Jan-30-22 | | greed and death: I was hoping for a better showing from Duda here. Oh well... |
|
| Jan-30-22 | | Fanques Fair: "Atterdag: <Check It Out: Wearing a mask is absurd? Tell that to doctors and nurses.>
I just checked the bio of <Fanques Fair> which tells us <I live in Brazil ...>. Brazil, the role model country of how to fight Covid19!" Actually, the role model of how to fight covid is Africa, where the total deaths of the whole continent is equal to the total deaths of the United Kingdom alone, being also the vastly least "vaccinated" continent . But you´re too lazy and much prejudiced to discover that simple fact . By the way, they don´t use facial masks there . |

 | | Atterdag: <Fanques Fair>. In Africa there is a far higher percentage of children and young people and a far lower percentage of people over 60 than in Europe and the US. Since the danger and consequence of Covid increases significantly with age, you can't compare Africa's relative young population with Europe's relative old. In Europe you have huge generations born right after WW2 and they are now in an age particularly vulnerable to the virus. That's a well-known factor you may choose to ignore, but virologists don't. But I don't want to discuss this with you further, since I consider it completely in vain. |

 | | HeMateMe: Carlsen has already beat the pants off of the 'older generation.' |
|

|
| Jan-31-22 | | Fanques Fair: Atterdag, if you are still under the total delusion that any of these sanitarial measures are for public health, I won´t try to convince you otherwise in a chess forum. Yes, Africa has less eldest people, but that is far from explaining the incredible disparity in mortality rate, particularly in the poorest country in the planet. On the contrary, it was supposed to be the opposite , as the medical care in Africa is frail, to say the least, in comparison with central countries. Even so, evidence insists in surprising the "believers in Science". Furthermore, as yourself pointed out, covid is only a real threat to the eldest people, but the teenager Dubov is being persecuted by not willing to wear a facemask in a 5 hour game. Finally, make a search for sudden deaths between atheletes in 2021 and 2022, maybe "Science" has some excuse to explain it. |
|
| Jan-31-22 | | fabelhaft: <teenager Dubov is being persecuted> The historic cases of percesution pale in comparison with what teenager Dubov (26 in April) has had to suffer here. |
|
| Jan-31-22 | | fabelhaft: Aside from Carlsen, the biggest positive is maybe van Foreest. He played some nice games and gained 11.8 Elo. His win against Giri was especially nice, with a spectacular finish, and he ended up with a plus score. Also Rapport and Mamedyarov had good tournaments. A plus score was a good result for Karjakin, but he continues to be a player that doesn't belong in the top ten. Caruana is the biggest negative to me. "Only" an even score in this field, and 10.5 Elo lost. Dubov is very talented, but his result here was disappointing. And he is soon too old to be that young talent. Rapport is younger than Dubov, and he played Wijk already eight years ago, after winning Wijk B nine years ago. A minus score for Duda was also slightly disappointing, with 9.5 Elo lost. Carlsen played some great games, expecially maybe the exchange sacrifice wins against Caruana and Giri, but also very nice quick wins against Mamedyarov and Rapport. Carlsen has a 64 point lead on the Elo list, and the often repeated comparisons with Fischer's biggest lead rarely take into account that Fischer only had a bigger distance than 70 Elo on one single rating list before quitting. Carlsen has 64 points down to number two in his tenth year as World Champion. Not easy to keep such consistency for so many years. |
|
| Jan-31-22 | | Absentee: <fabelhaft: teenager Dubov (26 in April)> Some remain teenagers for their entire life. It can be horrific to behold. |
|

 | | perfidious: Most especially when that state of affairs persists well beyond one's twenties, as is the case in some posters; rather tends to lose its charm. |
|
Jan-31-22
 | | MissScarlett: There's such a thing as delayed puberty. Anyone ever seen Dubov with facial hair? And he's supposed to be into weight training, but even his trademark baggy jumper can't hide the fact that his body type resembles that of Anish Giri. |
|
| Jan-31-22 | | LameJokes: In Esipenko Vs Rapport game, former missed checkmate on 7th move. A Esipenko vs Rapport, 2022 5.Ne5 c6 6.Nc4 cb5 7.Nd6 mates.
Of course, the trap is not full proof. 6...d5 loses a piece. |
|
Jan-31-22
 | | plang: A great fighting tournament, as Wijk aan Zee always is, marred only by Dubov having to drop out. |
|

I guess I would not be surprised if FIDE announced a new "Legend" title, to appeal to the gamer kids / Marvel generation. |
