  chancho: The So Man getting administered a second beating by the guy from Norway.
Jun-24-17  SirRuthless: Meh. It's blitz. Classical is what is in question right now so not sure why you bring this up as some kind of statement. No one claimed Carlsen isn't the best speed player in the world. The claim is that is all he is now. The best speed player. Classical? Wes is better now.

  chancho: I'm not quite ready to believe that after only 3 poor classical tournament results that Carlsen cannot ever win one of those again.

Not realistic.

Jun-24-17  SirRuthless: No one claimed that. You always go to hyperbole and put words in people's mouths. There is a middle ground so stop taking the extreme opposition. He can be just another top 5 player and still win his share of tournaments a la Aronian. He doesn't have to shrivel up and die like a worm in the sun.

  chancho: I did not put any words in anyone's mouth. Just stating my opinion.

Carlsen Will bounce back in classical.

Bank on it.

  Keyser Soze: Chancho, < ruthless> is a Carlsen hater..People confuses when a player that is having a better moment to suddnely becoming the better player.

Using his rationale, Aronian is also a better than Carlsen in classic, just for this last tourney.. I mean everybody saw Aronian slump very few months ago.

Now So is having a good run, Carlsen not so, and some patzers go jump on the last result. Boring really.

Jun-24-17  SirRuthless: Magnus himself said he's still struggling a bit. You call a year of So results a good run and then call me a hater. Take a look in the mirror man.

  Keyser Soze: I agree..Im just no dumb like yourself to make definitive conclusions based on few games or tourneys..To bad that So can`t beat Magnus anyway..I wonder why, cos he is sooo better..
Jun-24-17  SirRuthless: What are you even talking about? If you agree with me then why are you arguing with me?

  Keyser Soze: Jesus..I said I agree that he is struggling. Anyone can see that. But that alone doesn`t make So a better than him..Not yet.

  perfidious: <Keyser Soze: Chancho, < ruthless> is a Carlsen hater....>

Not to mention a Naka fanboi who pops a chubby every time Carlsen stubs his toe--bet he has been waxing orgasmic over Carlsen's subpar result in the classical.

<....Now So is having a good run, Carlsen not so, and some patzers go jump on the last result. Boring really.>

Same dog, only washed; after St Louis 2014, Carlsen was done to a turn, to hear some posters tell it, and Caruana was ready to usurp the top spot.

Still waiting.....

Jun-24-17  SirRuthless: I don't mean he is better in general or in history. Of course I mean right now as in the recent past, present and perhaps the future. I don't see where the argument is at all.

  Keyser Soze: Yeah, perf. I grant that he is flexible..Before he was a Naka fanboy (during "Sauron" episode)..Then switched fast to Caruana especially when he made that crazy 2850 run...And now So..Anyone that appears better (or a menace) than Carlsen he goes loud and join the bandwagon quickly. Funny..hehe
Jun-24-17  wordfunph: what else is new?

So is Carlsen's regular customer.

In blitz, the Knight is better than the Bishop. =)
