FIDE World Chess Championship thread

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Sofia rules were in effect in this match last I checked.

Also, I can't say that I'm pleased with game 1 but I'm even less pleased with the whining of patzers. It's only the first game of the match and the first draw and you want to implement some idiotic system with penalties for mistakes and draws. Give me a freaking break.

I play and defeat computer chess enteties ranked above the 2900 Elo barrier in the popular rating list like CCRL,GEGT,etc.

These chess enteties are running on a very fast overclocked modern hardware,I don't take back moves and I turn off the thinking lineso the engine....

I stear my games toward well known opening lines like the Nimzovitch-Larsen Attack,the Old Indian Defence,etc.

And I am not even an officially rated player....

What you call a first draw is a straight forward mockery of the chess community world wide....

Penalties for mistakes is maybe a little bit over the edge but getting their fund deducted everytime they make an idiotic draw like the one in question is actually a brilliant idea that will prevent the WCC from becoming an overall idiotic event....

You have a nice day Sir....

What are they waiting for? This is the World Championship of chess! You should be trying to attain your victory and going for it all the way. Carlsen is almost a 100 elo points stronger and should be trying to get it all but both are lackadaisical.

This whining patzer challenges you to a game Mikko Aarnos.
If we draw then you owe me an apology, and must refer to me as a master.
If you resign or if you are mated then you must apologize and forever refer to me as a master.
If I lose then I must sign my name as a patzer for one month.
Just set your rules, one day a move, three days a move, or we can play online at two minutes a move.
I hope you take the challenge after calling me a patzer.
We can play here under chess thinkers forum.
best to you

Respect my dear friend

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

I respect them in several ways, but they should not be allowed to quit when they choose and still get paid.
this is not their match, they are just participants.

Short draws like this cheapen our sport.
A clause stipulating that draws cannot be agreed until after 30 moves have been played might be an idea worth considering for future matches.

I wish the next time you are moderator Graham, you would change some of the championship rules to prevent this from happening again.
kgburcham

You might be waiting an awfully long time for that!

Indeed

+1. Well said.

Messi earned 57 millions only in sponsors last years, Tiger woods more than 60 millons, great numbers for Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, and many NBA players, list is very long.

This are the best chess players in world. Whats the problem about earning some good money in a 12 game match? They have to train, travel, pay helpers and seconds.

I see too many envy on comments.

Where do you see this too mnay envy

As a specialist I earn enough money to drive a decent car and afford a decent lifestyle....

We are annoyed by the quality of the first game,not by it's result....

To shuffle your queen like a drunk dancer before you even start the game is a shame for a world champion.....

Say whatever you want but it is what it is....

Is a player meant to lose a WC match game just because he had to obey a rule to sidestep a draw by repetition which he was forced to play [but is not allowed to]?

Their moves were not forced Shimon....

Their moves were pathetic to say the least....

do you think the draw was forced?
do you think the three moves was forced?

It COULD happen and in this case, Carlsen was explaining it clearly during the press conference, and it seems obvious that it wasn't what he wanted should have been necesary but that he didn't have very much choice. And sometimes it could be even more forced.

This is pure nonsense....

Playing with the white pieces,he should have tried at least to push harder and shake Anand's nerves preparing him for the next games of the match....

Anand got the most benifit from this game playing with the black pieces psychologically wise as he sensed the fear in Carlsen's playing ability....

Next game he will go after him with the white pieces if he's a real world champion....

*yawn*

A great achivement compared to the first game,BRAVO....

They even broke the 24 moves barrier this time and again a beautiful and instructive 3 fold repetiton by the great masters of chess....

Of course most of the games moves are home prepared with the latest chess theory assisted by powerful computer chess engines and served to the humble spectators on a wooden plate....
Dr.D

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Wouldn't be surprised one bit if Anand wins this match...

No, Carlsen will win, but even if he does not, I would still consider him the world champion, just as I would have considered Fischer world champion back in 1972 had the match with Spassky failed to proceed.

Anand's current playing style is passive and if Carlsen starts to apply his phenomenal attacking arsenal,he might win the world title as well....

That's exactly what I am trying to say and then comes an expert down the road waving the patzer flag at me and Kim and saying that it's all about making money and it doesn't matter if it's a first grader quality 16 moves chess game....

It doesn't matter at all,after all it's only a WCC....
Give me a freaking freaky break my friend regards,
