You shouldn't. You should be glad he's the new gen z rising star. Just look at his games against Prag.

He's been winning with the best prep tho

If magnus kept playing, we could have had some karpov-kasparov type kino in this next wcc. Instead he sharted and farted and left prematurely while he was still the best player to deny us of that.

>>563087282
He sac'd a knight on g5 and it gave double exclams. I just checked so I could meme about it and it's no longer the case. I guess you're right boring boring chess engine shitters are kings. Grim.

Yep. Will always be a stain on his legacy, which is already mid as is. You can get away with retiring early when you’re Fischer, not with his WC record. He hopes people will believe he retired because he was just bored of being so much better and it was no longer worth the time investment. He retired because he wasn’t doing as well in world championships as he should have

Name the time he won 20 games in a row against Candidates level competition like Fischer, or spotted one of the best of all time 2 games in a WC match and still won
Name his immortal game
Name the best player he beat in a WC match. Fabi? Oops, that was in Rapid!
Kasparov and Fischer utterly mog him as Classical players. Magnus’s legacy is based on his *cross-discipline* dominance, not his Classical results, which are mediocre. You would right if you said he was the strongest *all-around* player, but that’s not what you said, and perhaps, now you have learned something.
>>
>>563103858
Magnus doesn't even have an immortal game... and no, that one as a kid was just laughable although that one is better than the "immortal game" by Kasparov which is basically a 1500 chess.com blunder and everyone was in awe because, well, because it was Kasparov
>>
Why can't wytebois win the Candidates anymore?
>>
>>563103858
You guys should define "greatest" because an immortal game is entirely irrelevant to skill, so is however many players you beat in a row or how hard you dunked on your opposition in a wc match

Greatest = dominance. Distance between you and #2. Which for Magnus is quite small considering he tied in two consecutive world championship matches, in one of them not winning a single game.

Magnus is the BOAT, not the GOAT.
>>
>>563111992
Decent is the right word. He was past his prime but still world championship material so, decent. Magnus’s only truly Stronk opponent was Fabi at his peak, and he drew him.

If Sindarov wins a single nother game then it's basically over because all he has to do is draw and it's literally impossible for anyone else to win if he manages that. 1 win and 3 draws would put him at 10.5 and even Anish at 6 would not reach him if he won every game. If he draws everything out he lands at 10 points and Fabi is incapable of reaching him from his 5. Really all he needs to do to kick Fabi out is get 1.5 points which 3 draws is enough for. And he doesn't even need to do any of that unless Fabi or Anish go on a crazy streak and win all 4 next games. So the conclusion is we should get started on the Sindarov/Gukesh memes

This game is so gay and full shit. There’s something unbalanced about it, simple as. There’s no reason I should be so completely winning an entire game and then ONE weird little move topples the whole house of cards and my opponent is now winning. No real game is like this, name one other real game where you destroy your opponent and then lose in one move. Imagine in poker you absolutely milk your whale and then with his final 3 chips he wins your entire mountain stack. Embarrassing for this shit game that even gambling is more legitimate as a game.

It’s just solid and equal, which is good for black.
He wants to play Qb3 with some pressure, so just keep your light squared bishop undeveloped in the opening stage and castle without difficulty.

Good luck!
You can't really rape the London, that's why they play it. However, you can go for the two sirs(double fianchetto). It's unusual, something will happen on the diagonals and against the London it's actually good.
>>
>>563155418
I'll have you know I don't just copy and paste computer lines, I plan around what I think the most likely lines will be and choose what suits my style by playing through them on the board, and only then checking against an engine and making some adjustments. I have multiple lines against the King's Gambit that are 20 moves deep and utterly rape and haven't gotten to play any of them, despite them all being extremely probable. Here's a kino one for example:
1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 d5
4. exd5 Nf6
5. c4 c6
6. dxc6 Nxc6
7. d4 Bb4+
8. Nc3 0-0
9. Bxf4 Re8+
10. Be2 Ne4
11. Rc1 Qf6
12. Bg3 Nxd4!
13. Nxd4 (Qxd4... Qh6 14. 0-0 Bc5) Bg4!
14. Rf1 Qb6
15. a3 Bxc3
16. Bxc3 Bxe2
17. Nxe2 (Kxe2 or Qxe2... Nxc3!) Rad8
18. Qc2 (Qa4... Nc5!) Rd2
19. Bf2 Qd6
if one more cope try
20. c5 Qa6!

This nigga doing world championship tier prep for an online video game
>>
>>563156809
Yeah my only weakness at this point for my rating is preparation so I decided to go full Fischer lately and properly prepare. Number one on my list was King's Gambit, then White against the Alekhine, the two most annoying openings for me to play against. I'm prepped to the teeth against both now, with my own personal prep too so it's even more venomous, except that of course now nobody plays either against me. :)
>>
>>563157076
What’s the difference between “personal prep” and just regular prep and why is it “more venomous”?
>>
>>563157271
Like I described above, personal prep is playing things out on the board yourself. You anticipate what a human on your level would be most likely to play, rather than simply the objective "best move", and play through your options. Then you check it against an engine and see what improvements it makes, but the general direction of the line is your own, and is what you're most comfortable with playing, which is important in case play deviates from your prep.
Regular prep is just book theory. It's stuff that everyone knows. So for instance, a Hanging Pawns video. Wars contested between regular preparation are about how much each can remember of the line, and then how well you understand the resulting position when you start playing on your own. It's "less venomous" because there's not likely to be an element of surprise. Your opponent knows the same line you do and knows the general ideas.
So for instance, in Candidates, what they're playing is mostly personal prep. They've not only prepared their own prep in general, but even prep for specific opponents, anticipating their most likely individual responses. This seems to be something Sindarov has done especially well. And this is different from regular preparation of just known theory
>>
>>563157649
As an example, everything up to h5 in this move is book theory.
Sindarov's personal prep begins with 10. Bd3! Nobody has played this before, because you're willingly trapping your bishop. The book theory, instead of Bd3, is h4, Nxg3.
Sindarov stunned Pragg with Bd3, and he proceeded to think for an hour before his next move. That's personal prep compared to Pragg's book theory.

The only other player close to beating me in my Champion's League just got banned for obvious cheating trying to catch up (12-game rapid win streak with 97-99% accuracy in all their games).

they played random bullshit, every single one of them. I don't even know if those openings have names. The hedgehog, the two sirs, the french (but delayed c4), some reversed stonewall dutch with white, the english and the caro-kann...
I had a pretty cool knight sack in the french game against a 1800 which led to mate, that was my favourite. The games were relatively close but I had an easy time/never losing with the 1700s and not many chances at all against the 1900s, that sort of thing
>>
>>563217135
Something similar happened to me at my first tournament kek. I prepped lines against E5, Caro, Sicilian, and French, only for my opponents to play the Alekhine, Scandi, Pirc, and Nimzowitsch instead. You can't make this shit up.

I'm done with blitz. Fucking nigger shit. Don't know why i even play this.

>>563274989
Quitting blitz was the best thing I ever did for myself. It's the most cancer time control. Just play rapid when you actually want to improve and bullet when you want to fuck around.
>>
>>563274989
you should play all time controls. rapid to think carefully and learn new ideas, blitz to get faster and make them automatic, bullet to ingrain in muscle memory.
>>
>>563276381
Boolet is actively harmful to your chess, zoombro.
