@NathanJRobinson What leaves me astonished are outlets like The Economist. They have interesting articles but.... given the price, what is the point if nobody is reading ? Who are they writing for ?
@PHChess@mathias_reuter@GMJacobAagaard@mustreader Do you think the skill it would take to get there against high 2600 players in open tournaments is substantially different than keeping the rating at top 10-20 in closed tournaments?
@PHChess If in a football game a player commits a foul, you'd want the arbiter to judge it regardless of someone complaining or not. Otherwise the arbiter is not enforcing rules but testing the player's capacity to complain breaking rules, which seems a bit shady.
@akaNemsko@GzymsParapet I understand if you consider him the current greatest talent but it's pretty hard to evaluate him with past players who also managed to dominate in their time.
