    Lmao, well done! Years ago, Matt Ryan-the then Atlanta Falcons quarterback-came to the Country Club I worked at to play golf. He was in Cargo Shorts (a country club no-no). Members complained but the young guy in the pro-shop was too afraid to tell him he had to change shorts to play. So…I was sent. In I go, 5’6”, probably high, & in a Chef’s Jacket. I explained our policy and offered to sell him some super overpriced pro-shop shorts. He kindly declined, left for about an hour, & came back in some shorts he’d bought at a nearby Walmart. He never came back while I was there. The whiny old members who complained wore cargo shorts of their own a handful of times after. They really just wanted to exercise power over a celebrity…pathetic.

    Fide taking the jeans bait and then trying to look like they had no choice, they were forced to act, they had to uphold the law facing this grave injustice menacing to take down the entire institution, plunging us all into anarchy, the threat of allowing the goat to wear sturdy pants would simply make him too powerful, nobody could rival him anymore, he simply had to be stopped.
    Never change, we love you.

    I guess it's good for a laugh, but there's something seriously wrong with FIDE. It's like the NBA keeping Michael Jordan off the court over a petty violation that has no bearing on the game. Maybe the trim on his shorts was wrong, I don't know . . . The NBA weren't so stupid, but FIDE certainly is.

    • @alexfranse3640
      @alexfranse3640 2 дні тому

      It’s not stupidity, but intentional sabotage. FIDE run by Putin’s former minister. FIDE eliminated major competitor for the Russian chess players. Please note that top 3 places were taken by Russians as a result of disqualifying Magnus Carlson. Why Russians allowed to compete in tournaments? It’s unacceptable while they keep killing people in Ukraine.

    Vishwanathan Anand i feel like he is becoming more like his surrounding. It doesn't matter how great you are i guess you tend to eventually become your surrounding and always fail to see the other side.
    The way he spoke about the situation seemed very robotic and blunt. I always admired him for funny jokes and the way he handled himself... now i need to rethink my admiration.
    We should sadly reach to this conclusion based on what Magnus said that everyone is like a Robot and We can't fool ourselves Vishy in that Interview with Sagar last day seemed off. Vishy didn't felt the same. Just very heartbroken.
    Finally, on Simon i feel like he disrespected Vishy BEYOND his achievements... his involvement and presence in all this. Simon wasn't there so, him saying the toilet statement just shows his maturity. You could humiliate someone by being objective... i guess he isn't that mature and is childlike.

    The results in this tournament really highlight the issue of Elo and the same guys playing in those closed tournaments and drawing all their games to retain a false position in chess.

    What if the rules of chess were changed so that pawns were no longer promotable, but if you marched your King to reach the farthest opposite rank safely, you win automatically? Big risk = big reward, so to speak. BTW, the word isn’t ec cetera, it’s et cetera.
