He's gross and deserves everything he got. Other pros like Mahgsoodloo who dabbled in engines were never as prolific or obnoxious liars. They owned that they did it, took the L and became better people. Hans is still a grifting liar piece of shit

conveniently skipping the whole being humiliated in fornt of the whole world with fucking elon musk tweeting about him using anal beads, him being blacklisted for years part because it doesn't fit your narrative I see
no matter what he does in or out of chess to tens of millions of people he will always be the anal beads cheat his name is ruined forever, you can argue it's not all directly magnus fault but it's absurd to claim hans wasn't the victim and even deserved it
hans is strong mind but 99% of people would be mentally destroyed by this and quit chess, a not so small number would literally kill themselves over something like this, I wonder how different the perception of this whole thing would be had he did been among those

I understand prep--- but after being out of prep he still posts 3000+ rating seems.... highly dubious. Fabi was playing nearly all engine moves (at least 2nd choice) and this guy just plays like stockfish? In addition, I found it very unsettling watching Jav constantly shifting/bouncing/fidgeting in his chair. Maybe it didn't bother Fabi but seemed very distracting and borderline rude (and against the rules).

I'd get a knight on d5 and a queen on h5 and start doing this.

>>562257995
>200 elo
nigga you can play anything outright of sacrificing your queen for a pawn and it will be better than your opponent

To be serious though, find a place where you can maneuver your pieces to support a pawn break. Since you graciously had the engine already enabled which said c3 is the best move, that makes it easy to understand.

In this position, you want to maximize control over d4 and then push the d pawn to d4. c3 prepares that.

>but le engine recoomends c3 then qb3!
buddy you will not be able to understand why the fuck that's a good move unless you take LSD and ascend to the spirit realm for 3 days and 3 nights to ask the ghost of Fischer wtf is queen b3

If someone tries to close a position, identify pawn break, position pieces to support it, then rip open the position. Closed positions require more skill, ironically. For beginners open positions are much more comfortable. Hell, you can sacrifice a pawn to open a position lots of times.

those simulations are based on elo and hikaru's is clearly not accurate anymore

I mean, Hikaru is still playing at an extremely high level, he's just not playing at his 2800 rating.

imagine marc esserman playing magnus in one classical game but if marc loses he is added to the sex offender registry, incurs a million dollars of debt, can never stream again, can never upload videos again, can never play tennis again and can never buy fruit cups again. his focus in that fucking game would be so insane that spiritual beings in other realms of life would catch wind of his focus and tune in to watch the game themselves

I've new to chess and have been studying the Caro Kann defense for a couple of months so I've naturally stumbled upon Daniel Naroditsky's videos. He was a real one. RIP

Picrel is basically what it looks like when black REALLY wants to fork your queen and rook.
If they play 6.c3...b5 and 7.Bf1 is the best move, no one has ever played it.
Against 6.Bb3...Nxb3 and you trade queens on d5, develop and get a playable position

The whole thing is inferior to 5...Na5, but I don't know any of it, so I always chicken out...

>>562313068
I like to think very low but I did find a bit sus that he claimed he just happened to go over the prep he used against fabi 10 minutes before the game
It could be a lucky coincidence but it sounds like a dumb attempt of deflecting suspicion a guilty person might try

Chess is said to be a zero luck game, since all information is known and there is no RNG. But wouldn't opening prep lead to luck, because you could get lucky with prepping exactly for what the opponent plays.

>>562314694
That is still called skill. You had the skill to be prepared for what your opponent tried to do. This is an infinite scale.

>but le ur lucky to be prepared for x line and he played x line instead of y
Still a skill issue.

>>562315243
well deciding what to study i.e. predicting what your opponent might play could be a skill

>>562315243
But preparing for every line perfectly is beyond the human limit, even the best players have to put there focus on certain lines, so there will always be blind spots. Yes, in theory they could memorize every line, but in theory you could always flip a coin perfectly, as robots have been done to do, yet coin flips are luck. Since there is a human limit, there is luck

>>562316932
As in you're better at guessing than others. If you want to call it a skill, sure, but there's always a chance.

played the london system for 10 years. leads to closed positions. it’s nice bros

>>562317238
it's not random chance what they will play though, players have their own preferences

>>562317614
Yes but they COULD change it up, there is guessing involved. If you play rock paper scissors and someone goes rock 90% of the time, you play paper and then lose cause they play scissors, that's luck. It's skill to study them and understand there preferences, but luck to guess correctly what they actually do

>>562314694
What they mean is that if you play a move it won't be luck that decides wether it was good or bad. Luck exists tho, and even if the game of chess is an abstract game that eliminates random chance, the players exist in the real world and are subject to it's affects.

For example if Anish got a stomache flu from a well regarded restaurant, and that was some factor in poor time management or calculation that would be an example of being robbed.

>>562317826
you are arguing against the existence of poker pros, where the same situation applies. what appears to be luck is actually skill that you don't understand

>>562314694
yes I agree although I wouldn't put the luck involved on chess itself since prep is something external to the game,as in the a single game between two opponents not the game as whole.
chess is as close to a 0 luck game as you can get but reality itself involves a lot of luck so any anything within will have a luck element to it
I think that anon is messing with you it's already weird to deny there is a luck element in people playing into your prep when it's selfevident, implying there is no luck in poker is just pure bait

>>562318290
no they aren't - it's not mutually exclusive, you obviously have games which involve both luck and skill. anon is arguing the presence of luck not the absence of skill

>>562318290
Poker has loads of luck, trust me I've played. Amateurs have won the main event. Pros just make more money over the long term where luck is minimized

>>562314694
you can also describe it the other way. it is a game of chance where stronger players are more lucky than the weak ones

>>562321179
Magnus wouldn't turn off the body camera. He would calculate a series of events weeks in advance that causes them to malfunction at the exact time he is alone with you. Then he mates you.

It feels good to beat these faggots who play this way in blitz and try to get you to overextend or lose on time.
In fact I lost my first 3 games against this guy but won the last 2.

>>562309660
Listen to what he has to say.

>>562314192
I saw the reddit thread that was insinuating that, but I could barely understand what they were getting out. Everybody tries to prepare for his opponent, and he predicted the opening correctly.

I wish I could tag team my chess games so that I only play the opening and then I tag in my partner who specializes in middle games and endgames.

it’s arguably more chess-like than real chess. Prep means nothing

Is there a huge difference between how chessdotcom and lichess do ratings? I'm brand new just started a week ago and I've played about 1000 games on chessdotcom currently rated 250. Then I decided to try out lichess and after about 100 games I'm 900 rating and still winning about half my matches.
Is chessdotcom just bots botting bots or does lichess inflate ratings to make me feel good about myself?

>>562347443
yes there is. either way what i do upon reaching a new peak on chesscom is i go train on lichess. chesscom is the premier site where all of the titled players are, that's all you need to know

i think what he means is that it's a circus. he's actually pointing to the fact that prep means nothing so it's just like a fucking mario party mini game type of deal and that some aspects of the game are lost at least in the opening due to trying to figure out how to even play

crazy to think that one of my goals was to play naroditsky on stream but alas i can't do that anymore for crying out loud. i also don't call him danya like you absolute ape zoomers by the way, it's either daniel or naroditsky. you danya retards are all u1000
