Obviously Niemann cheated by mounting a mirror on the ceiling so he could see Carlsen's pieces

This is tiptop humor. I didn’t even notice the sub and thought it would be a legitimate +/- position evaluation.

I didn’t read the title too well and thought this was nepo and Hans. Has this whole thing been over magnus stealing his hairstyle?

Someone has tried to cobble the rules for that game together, or at least make something that looks like it work right?

I would pay to see grandmasters play but every other move is made by someone completely unfamiliar with chess strategy, and can't be told what to do by the grandmaster.

If they let her do this at such an event, you'd think she's probably kinda good at chess.

I don't understand.... is it just because she exposed the king to a bishop wipe?

Maybe you'd understand if you knew as much about chess as she does.

Its meant to have a random match with little to no preparation. Nowadays with computer preparation getting better and better, most masters need to memorize a bunch of sequences of moves with lots of ramifications to have a good openning and good game. Which made the game a lot about memory rather than other skills that were originally challenged in the game.

This way, making the initial piece placement random, you kinda throw out the window all the preparation masters have and so they have a game kinda like the old times, challenging skills like originality, tactical vision, initiave, awareness, etc and not so much memory.

I’ve been watching Gothamchess’s YouTube daily recaps of this tournament, it’s awesome actually. I’m not exaggerating when I say he is the greatest chess commentator of all time.

Call me old-fashioned, but aren't six-year old girls a bit to young to play chess against Magnus Carlsen..?

Isn't this like the most common first move? Is that why they're aghast?
