    • @searsino
      @searsino 15 днів тому

      Are you criticizing a teenager (who is now 21) for having bad manners after being dragged through the mud for several years? All because the best chess player to ever exist decided to throw a tantrum after losing a match to you otb? How would you act in that situation at his age? Would you smile and take all of the bead jokes and false cheating otb accusations every single time you play a game? How about after hundreds of thousands of people from the community you grew up in also join in on the bullying curtesy of super GM UA-cam channels laughing and also making jokes at your expense? What about if several mainstream media sites smear your name and write absurd hit pieces based on redacted “evidence” by a chessCom website that runs most of the highest level tournaments in the community. Would you still be good mannered and smile in public when placed in front of that community?
      Even if you have decided because he cheated online a couple times at 12 and 16, that Hans should never play chess again (which is childish and flawed), to criticize his manners and “ego” is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. If anything it’s impressive that he has fought through all of that stuff he was forced to endure and is now in the top 20 of chess players in the world. How many people do you think would manage to do that? And all because the superstar of chess decided to throw a tantrum after losing an otb match.
      People like you who criticize his behavior and “ego” are total hypocrites or are so blind to reality that you cannot even consider the reality of what happened.

      +1. Technically, agreeing to play a prearranged game to a draw is cheating according to the new Fide. A while ago Dubov and Nepo got busted on just this ground. Though according to chess tradition a pre-arranged draw is not a big deal, and I've heard the card game "Magic a Gathering" also allows pre-arranged 'draws' of sorts without penalty.
