@DlyarMuhammad@ThankGod1903@EndgameaiChess Crazy how elo works lol. Magnus gets punished more because his rating is so high. Elo is based on expected score, not just wins and losses.
@EndgameaiChess Progress is when we push the limits: Fischer, Kasparov, Carlsen. Those eras weren’t “gatekept”; they were defined by players who were simply better and forced everyone else to catch up. Open access is great, but calling the absence of a standout a “revolution” is just branding.
@EndgameaiChess Can you get a new editor? Someone that actually quotes Hans and knows how and when to use quotations. - "You should be congratulating my team, not me. I lost. They're playing so well." Give him respect of admitting he lost.
@ben_finegold Top players are more all even now. The literal domination Magnus had for the past decade was insane. If Magnus were to leave or as we saw in this tournament every other player is pretty even. There will be no dominate single player. Once in a generation
@mb_315@HansNiemannclub@HansNiemann_ Speaking of time pressure.. let’s look at the game with Ian in UzChess… Nepo came in with WC prep and beat hans with only 8 min taken off his clock 👀.
@HansNiemannclub@mb_315@EndgameaiChess Fatigue is part of competitive chess. If every loss after a demanding schedule gets excused by fatigue, then nobody is ever responsible for their results. He simply got outplayed it happens to all GMs.
@deeps75@anishgiri Yes! I remember two years ago they asked Magnus who would replace him and he said no one. I agree in the sense that no one single player will domintate the field the way a Magnus did in his prime era.
