    If anyone is curious, Jan in the livestream mentioned Ding’s performance since the WC, and how Ding has been having trouble sleeping without medication. I hate psychoanalyzing people but it may be that his victory felt a bit hollow - he’s as keenly aware as everyone that Magnus is still basically considered the World Champ, if not in official title - and maybe that’s contributing to the situation. Chess requires a strong mental game, for the consistency required to be a top competitor.

      I think he said he considered retirement too had he lost the WC match. Interestingly Ian hasn't fared that much better himself post the match. I think Magnus put the bar so high during his reign that we forget World Champion is but a title and it's a human. Anyway, his ordeal is not going to be over until the next WC match. I just hope he can find some form and lose the title gracefully.

      @@goose5462 I don't think this is excuse. Excuse is that somebody like you lie to to yourself and you still can't recognize that, while Ding is definitely not. His sleep disdress may come from his personalities, which is exactly why he was able to beat Nepo in WC. Maybe Ding is still considered to be not as goog as Magnus, but who cares! He is the World Champion now, I'm proud of him. Such humble guy without arrogance deserves that!!!

      I feel like that's really a disservice to Rubinstein, he arguably reached the absolute top, and was just unfortunate to never have a chance to cement his name. (I only vaguely remember a few things about them, so I mainly relied on quick searches)
      For reference: Rapport, tied with JKD, had the lowest conventional score and was 8th place due to his SB. I know he had good performances, but Akiba was what? 3rd place at worst during his time? He was denied an opportunity to challenge Lasker in 1914, which is probably the worst miss of his career.

      Yep. And that absolutely deserved/needed to be noted before jumping into the game. It makes for a particularly drama-filled game. Borrowing from poker lingo, the 'leveling' ("he knows this is one of my tendencies...and he knows I typically do this in response...therefore I'm inclined to try and throw him off with this [approach]...but he knows that I know he knows that...therefore...) had to be deep and exhausting.

    RR used his King just like Capablanca used to do. Knowing when your opponent makes a few sub-optimal decisions is a major factor in winning a game. Spassky always knew that and said that the trouble was you could not be absolutely sure when it happened. This, I believe makes Chess full of possible sudden tactics that can only be found by thinking long and hard.

    • @projectmilk3267
      @projectmilk3267 5 місяців тому

      Incorrect, if White plays 1. Bd3, and Black thinks he wins a piece with Bxd4, then you get 2. Bxh7, the white bishop takes a free pawn with a check, and opens a discovery on the black bishop, so Kxh7, and then 3. Qxd4 which wins the bishop back, of course you could also have Nxh7 instead of Kxh7 but you still win the bishop back with a free pawn

    He is barely top 5 in the world and mostly because he has played in just a few tournaments in the last 3 years...
    He literally ran home to hide from the pressure and expectations as the paper WCC after performing horribly in a few OTB games.
    Some people defend him as if the criticism isn't warranted. He had no business playing inhouse tours to be "eligible" for the Candidates and if he hid in the toilet during the WCC like some novice rather than a top 3 player in the world...
    It's fine to say he isn't built for this. Magnus is the exact opposite - when the world already expects everything from him, he finds new challenges to push himself even further. That's why Magnus is the GOAT and the current paper WCC will go down in history as arguably the top or second most undeserving champion.

    I don’t think rook to e8 should not be played. Playing reacting chess will not help you prepare an attack. Only way you can react if it will end in checkmate right away then you cannot ignore the threat. But playing reaction chess it’s not the way to go, you put your opponent in control mode and he gets to do what ever he wants and that’s why most chess players lose.

    You can see it in Ding, everyone can and he sees it better than us. It just seems like he wants the WC to be done. If he doesn't change gears he will be obliterated, and nobody want to see that happen to him. It would be great if he was trolling everyone but sadly its not the case. Sometimes its better to step away than to put yourself through the mess that is about to come. I hope he makes a comeback drive, but maybe he should do what Magnus did.

    Ding is most certainly a great chess player. But not the best in the world. The title of "World Champion" doesn't suit him at all, especially when he keeps playing like this. It's even worst when you remember he didn't even win the candidates, in fact, he wouldn't even qualify if not for Karjakin getting disqualified. I hope whoever took the title after him would be more convincing and less reliant on luck

    3rd: What's it like in a parallel universe where 9LX is standard chess, and Garry really is Garry chess?
    1 - People are praising Wesley So, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Bobby Fischer & Anatoly Karpov. Agadmator & Levy are talking about Wesley & Nepo all day long.
    2 - Garry really is Garry chess here.
    Switch Bobby & Garry dates of birth. (Bobby's last name here is probably Nemenyi.) Meanwhile Garry Kasparov invented something strange called 'chess1' aka 'Kasparov Deterministic' where you have only 1 SP. Garry quits the 1975 classical WCC Vs Anatoly Karpov, is arrested in Russia (instead of Japan), immigrates to Iceland and dies in 2008. 1975 is not a big loss. In fact, it's better because Bobby Fischer takes over. 1978 is Bobby vs Anatoly match of the century in Baguio, the Philippines! Idk what happens in 1981, but then 1984 Eugene Torre wins the candidates and faces Anatoly/Bobby! In 1976, I guess Eugene still beats Anatoly. Either Anatoly or Bobby. (Trivia: In our world, Eugene almost beat Bobby in 1992.)
    3 - Bobby is still alive in 2024. Bobby, Anatoly, Sergey Karjakin, Wesley, Nepo are on Lex Fridman's podcast while Magnus, Garry & Hikaru aren't.
    4 - In the 2019 inaugural world Kasparov Deterministic chess championship (WKDCC), Magnus beats Wesley in 3 classical chess1 games in a row in but no one cares. Fabi is still the top 4 in the 2019 world chess1 championship but the top3 is now Liren. Nepo has never played a chess1 game, just as in our world Liren has never played a recorded 9LX game before 2024Feb.
    5 - Wesley/Nepo doesn't quit the 2023 classical WCC. Nepo/Wesley wins 2022 candidates and no one cares about Liren. Wesley So Vs Ian Nepomniachtchi is the biggest rivalry in chess, far exceeding as well as succeeding the next biggest rivalry Bobby Fischer vs Anatoly Karpov, like Better Call Saul to Breaking Bad. Wesley, & Nepo are both considered GOATs along with Bobby & Anatoly. There's no distinction between GOAT & MTOAT. There's a slight bias towards Wesley because Wesley is Bobby's nephew.
    6 - Chess' popularity in the Philippines & Norway are inverted.
    6a
    In our world, Bobby had radio interviews in the Philippines. In this world, Garry has radio interviews in Norway.
    6b
    Then Prospero Pichay Jr is imprisoned and the Philippine chess federation is free from corruption. But Wesley is still American. Huhuhu. Oh, in this reality, Magnus' parents are evil and then Magnus gets adopted by religious parents who are friends of Garry, so it's like Magnus is Garry's nephew. The 2019 WKDCC is still like a pseudo - Bobby vs Garry, and it's billed as battle of thei nephews.
    7 - But still no one actually really cares about chess1 because no one wants to have a headache over studying the same boring SP again and again. Also its top players Magnus & Garry are still cheaters. But well ok maybe in rapid & blitz chess1 is picking up. (Same as our world. Fiiiine Magnus is right about keeping regular chess for rapid & blitz.) So there's still a 2022 rapid world chess1 championship, half a century after the 1972 REGULAR match of the century. This time Hans Niemann wins beating Hikaru Nakamura on tiebreaks. This time Hikaru accuses Hans, but Hans still sues both Hikaru & Magnus. Ches***m is not sued and is just as good as lichess. Hans is still considered the next Bobby Fischer / Anatoly Karpov while Wesley & Nepo are still considered the current Bobby / Anatoly.
    8 - In 2024Feb, FIDE still cancel their 2024 WKDCC, but Wesley & Nepo host a rapid chess1 championship but don't invite Magnus & Liren. Hans isn't a cheater but has still has beef with St Louis Chess Club and so doesn't play that due to scheduling conflicts, but Magnus & Hans are still going to eventually defend the, resp, classical & rapid world chess1 championships.
    9 - In general, chess doesn't have that many cheaters, cheating incidents, baseless accusations, etc and has very little corruption, discrimination, treason, politics, etc. FIDE is hailed as 1 of the cleanest sports/gaming organisations. Chess is an olympic sport. Bobby/Anatoly are FIDE officials.
    10 - Tiebreaks are settled by armageddon w/ auction rather than lower time controls, so Sergey & Fabi still lose to Wesley/Nepo in resp 2016 & 2018. But no one calls for change of tiebreaks to rapid time controls. Lol. Also, pre-arranged draws are so rare.
    11 - Sergey isn't banned because Sergey only privately supports Putin because chess doesn't make people go insane unless they the players want to stick to 1 SP only, like Garry.
    12 - Actually here, Bobby has very neutral feminist enlightened political views and is a true patriotic Jew & American ( in politics in addition to still being such a patriot in chess ) while respectfully criticising both US & Israel along side condemning Osama bin Laden / Al-Qaeda & Ismail Haniyeh / Hamas. So Bobby is still against Iraq invasion.
    13 - Most importantly, no one cares about Garry, Magnus, Hikaru or Liren. Specifically, in this world, they care less about them as compared to Wesley, Nepo, Bobby & Anatoly in our world.
    14 - Paradise.

    2nd: I believe Wesley is still the classical WFRCC while Hikaru is just the rapid WFRCC.
    Q1
    Why weren't the 'slow rapid' games in the 2019 wfrcc considered classical when they are 60min games and the minimum for classical is 60min?
    Q2
    Why are the 2022 WFRCC games considered 'slow rapid', as in the same category for the 2019 wfrcc 60min games, when they are actually 32.5min games?
    What I understand is
    (0,10) = Blitz
    [10,60) = rapid
    [60,120) = classical but unrated if so and so conditions
    [120,infinity) = classical

      That's the rapid rating before this tournament. Ding didn't play a lot rapid lately, so there are still many points collected in his rapid rating from his better days.
      In classical, where he had more problems just recently, he already dropped to 2762 and is already behind Fabiano and Hikaru.
      And after this tournament he will also drop significantly in the rapid rating.
