May-13-25 Kenneth Rogoff    MrMelad: Let me tell you why I’m a big believer in giving credit where it’s due. Back in one of the companies I worked for, we had this IT guy. You know the type always buried under a pile of tickets from people forgetting their passwords, complaining their hard drives won’t boot, or ...      Apr-21-25 Grenke Freestyle Open (2025)    MrMelad: Honorable mentions: Firouzja, Polgar, Nimzowitsch      Apr-20-25 Freestyle Grand Tour Paris (2025)    MrMelad: Thanks <MissScarlett>. <each game has to have its ECO code manually> Sounds like a prompt for https://www.cursor.com/ to me. If you want my help (with the implementation, not just the prompt) let me know…      Feb-05-25 Magnus Carlsen    MrMelad: <perfidious: I could take this lot with one hand; what are you nattering about?

Is he one of those well known and highly respected arbiters with decades of distinguished service? I wonder if there’s more to this situation than just a simple clash of egos. Don’t like conspiracy theories though.. The simplest explanation is that Carlsen ...      Nov-16-24 Ding - Gukesh World Championship Match (2024)    MrMelad: In the past, when the champion went through a rough period, they referred to it as “saving prep”. I’m glad we’re finally past that, at least.      Oct-24-24 Vladimir Kramnik    MrMelad: I call “he who smelt it, dealt it” on Kramnik      Oct-14-24 Kirill Shevchenko    MrMelad: He just won titled Tuesday a week ago. Hmmmm      Aug-26-24 Hans Niemann    MrMelad: Hi Evan, sorry for the banter. No worries, me and <nok> go back a long time. You can almost say we are BFF.
