I didn’t get this one. I had to read the comments.

I just heard that Magnus lost twice but Google isn’t showing it to me. Either fake news or it just happened so recently that nothing is up yet.

lol his loss is pretty obvious here (fastforward to 17:23 if you want to see his reaction)

Lol. That table slam was hilarious. I’m not sure he could have smashed it harder. Gukesh was definitely startled lol.

Congrats to Gukesh for finally beating him.

That table bang will go down as one of the better Magnus moments. He doesn’t have many of those. Far less than Kasparov did. Maybe more than Anand.

I love that Indian announcer. He’s irritating and fun at the same time.

It’s making real news, like CNN and the NYT:

Carlsen vs Caruana tomorrow.

This is probably the end of Magnus. Good. I don’t hate him but I’m bored of him.

Nakamura just lost to a 13 year old. I am happy to see the old guard changing.

Will probably be a few years. The 4 best players in the world now are all in their 30s. The young players also suck at interviews and are much more boring. Caruana is actually more charismatic than any player younger than 25.

Anand just beat Erigaisi, who is now India’s #1.

Gukesh just beat Magnus again. And again, it was from a losing position.

You’re view is religious. It’s on replay and you are projecting onto others.

Magnus won the tournament.

He’s so much better than everyone else that his B game is enough to win.

Magnus is more interesting now that you don’t make him ā€œyou’re championā€. Actually any chess player you don’t favorite seems more attractive.
You want to seem intellect strong and strongest amongst intellectuals as yourself, but you push a sick health agenda with it. Like the stress and pressure from a chess a long drawn out chess match causing gut leakage to substitute for dysfunctional emission. And of course while they they seated with so many moves in their minds you were the dancing king with your prosthetic you imagine would be coveted as a champion prize belt.

I used to like to play chess when was young. I was a very academic child with placed in gifted programs and advanced faster than others and had aptitude tests that blew masses away.

I became a processing unit and erection support for every type of weakness and trash imaginable. Chess became one of the worst.

Magnus was never my favourite, Mark. He’s not many people’s favourite. He is not lovable. He’s an attractive white male (despite an odd jawline) and he’s young, rich and wildly successful. He is so good that he wins tournaments when he’s not playing at his best. He just got married. He chooses his words very carefully and rarely says anything wrong. I’m sure he has hardship and challenges, but obviously fewer than most. It’s tough to love someone who wins all the time. We admire them, but very few love them.

People love people who fail. Who have flaws. Who overcome those flaws to do impressive things. Who can’t dominate, but who sometimes rise to the top. Who say stupid things and get in trouble and have to apologize.

Historically, my favourite was Bobby Fischer. Not when he was dominating, but after he went crazy. Right now, my favourite player is Pragg. He’s ugly, inconsistent, loses games he should have won, and sometimes just amazes everyone with incredibly brilliant chess. I love him.

He’s much more of an intellectual than you and a more likeable person.

It’s sick how you are eyeing Gukesh.

No. I watched that match and the ending including Magnus slamming his fist and Gukesh’s reaction.
Dan mentioned Magnus is expecting a baby

This could be redone as throwback diaper commercial. Huggies or pampers who is the real leak proof champion. If they would go for it I’m sure it might even make the Superbowl half-time and be a huge surge in chess and a moneymaker.

They need better managers, not you Reg. You need to withdraw.

They could even have a spot for the guy who got disqualified over the drug test refusal.

All 3 in diapers.
