No updates but I just wanted to thank @Naeras for helping build my opening repertoire. Iāve won on black much more often since playing correspondence and having canned responses to 1. e4 is nice. I also have learned how to pilot the Sicilian better because I know common motifs in this opening.
Also I like 1.d4 on white more. You get more exciting games and they donāt tend to be symmetrical at a point. Kingās Indian is really hard to play and feels weaker than other openings. So does pirc defense and I see why I donāt like the opening even though itās the new gm toy.
Also my chess intuition is stronger than it used to be. In games with long time controls, I just blunder less often.
Play the Duras against e4 as black
Hijabs, huh?
The president of FIDE is like a Kevin Dunn or somethingā¦
Oh shit! Check it out. American women chess player(s) speaking out:
In 11 days the world chess championship begins.
Also, I vaguely remember this during the 1990s:
Carlsen getting a hugely advantageous endgame without winning?
Well, thereās a first for everything, I guess.
Will it go to Armageddon
No.
A good article
@Naeras Carlsen is taking his opponent too lightly. And throwing away winning game and turning it to a draw. Iām 100% sure that Carlsen is a superior opponent but I hope he doesnāt keep drawing him out.
Maybe Carlsen is tiring Karjakin outā¦
This is just Karjakin defending exceptionally well. Not exactly unexpected.
Still. Norway will win in the end.
And then Sergej will run crying to papa Putin, and then his BFF Trump will nuke us for insulting his bro.
Wesley So as next world title challenger?
Looks like it might go to the full 12 roundsā¦
No draw today.
Oh shit, I was right when I posted that Karjakin will in in the Presidential Election Thread!!! Just like how Trump won, Karjakin will also win!!!
This is a quote from a website:
āKarjakin won with Black to take the lead, 4.5ā3.5ā
Salty?
