Chess candidates day 9
So - Grischuk
Fabi - Ding
Aronian - Shakh
Karjakin - Kramnik
Sascha now has to be considered a real dark horse. Has a reasonable chance at beating So and then karjakin
/chess/ candidates
Adrian Mitchell
Josiah Sanchez
Nobody had expected Grischuk to win this tournament, but he might well have what it takes. Catching Caruana will be difficult, but stranger things have happened.
Benjamin Edwards
liren will win today
Lucas Thomas
FAKE NEWS
Jonathan Jackson
>Has a reasonable chance at beating So
Doubt he'll beat So with Black today
Ryder Taylor
I can't understand how anyone can be a fan of that weird spaz Caruana.
I guess it's mostly Americans rooting for their guy.
Seriously, look at his face and listen to his weird voice.
Cameron Lewis
It's Ding's year la
Colton Jenkins
He was one of my three pre-tournament favourites. Concentrate about his games, not his face or his voice.
He can still go through the tournament undefeated.
Brayden Evans
Do my eyes deceive me, or is Caruana winning?
Dylan Hughes
Apparently. Guess I'm rooting for Carlsen because
Eli Cox
>la città di Caruana
William Bailey
>play again pic related
>get winning position with huge time advantage
>get outplayed by perfect speed chess
Adam Cox
What's your favorite opening?
Isaiah Richardson
Mason Flores
Kekkin at Caruana
Logan Nelson
>what did black mean by this?
interesting hippo opening
Daniel Richardson
Poor old Rashid does not know how he can make his obligatory queen sac.
4D chess indeed.
Gabriel Richardson
Relax guys. This is still Fabi's year.
Thomas Richardson
aesthetic.
James Lopez
I'm a pro yugioh player looking to get into tennis. Advice?
Jaxson Allen
f3 kf2
Ryder Smith
The Caro-Kann, probably. It suits me.
Jordan Taylor
God, please don't let THIS become a chess world champion.
Hunter Gutierrez
Fuckin' L
Ryan Thompson
Bullies usually take care of this.
Their social function is to stop THIS from achieving success by either crushing their dreams and confidence or making them an hero.
I don't know what happened.
Was he home schooled?
Dominic Anderson
Spazeltov!
Jonathan Perez
Why don't you leave this thread, you bad poster from a non-country in chess?
Eli Butler
Quit white-knighting the spaznerd.
Oliver Edwards
french, exchange variation :^]
for real, russian, I've been trying the scotch game lately tho
Henry Rogers
Kayden White
Does anybody know where Magnus is atm?
Sebastian Scott
at home touching his peepee while imagining perfect end-game play
Bentley Howard
English
Logan King
Spanish and Sicilian
Brandon Thompson
Leo Ward
Lads, how come Magnus looks retarded but isn't?
He's the most functional person I've ever seen with that kind of face.
Kayden Diaz
Henry Lewis
Because you associate the chess ability with some sort of autistic superpower.
The majority of even super-strong GMs are absolutely normal people.
Jonathan Phillips
But he does look a little bit retarded.
He has that down's syndrome head/face shape.
The only guy who looks completely normal is Svidler.
Anthony Roberts
I can second that
Camden Kelly
How did he get rid of his studder?
t. Studderer
Benjamin Brooks
Kramnik, So, Aronian, Mamedyarov, Topalov, Anand, Giri are all so-called 'normies'.
Karjakin and Caruana are proper nerds.
Carlsen and Nakamura are a bit of douches.
Ding and Grischuk are too enigmatic to judge them.
Cooper Stewart
You obviously have no idea who So is.
Else, I agree
Brayden Cox
Grischuk plays guitar and basketball, has 2 daughters. He is a normie too, although a cool and chill normie.
Robert Ross
What did Caruana do to trigger the Portuguese itt like this?
Isaiah Baker
He has a clown face and speaks like a faggot
Tyler Morales
>tfw i talk kinda like fabi
James Butler
So and Grischuk look like the kind of people that under normal circumstances would keep young women's or men's heads in the freezer. I'm glad they chose chess.
Evan Stewart
Thank you.
And his voice has the weirdest tone, like it's coming from a see shell or something.
Thomas White
Or from a conch.
Lincoln Bailey
This is now a caruana interview thread
youtu.be
Matthew Sanders
It's so awful.
How can anyone be like that.
Ian Myers
Caruana and Carlsen are literally made for Virgin/Chad edits
The memes demand it
William Garcia
carlsen isnt a chad, he legit has autism
James Gonzalez
While I agree on Caruana (he's the very definition of the virgin), I can't see Carlsen as the chad. A chad would simply never have that face or that spazzy way of reacting to a blunder or a loss.
Nolan Stewart
why does these thing upset you so?
stop being a weirdo
Leo Collins
But he's 100% right.
Brody Jones
wrong
David Harris
Tell me about Peter Svidler, why does he wear the earring?
Nathan Kelly
He's the friendliest player above 2750.
Ian Wilson
English is comfy
Sebastian Nelson
whos rated 2749 and so friendly?
Wyatt Flores
2750 was chosen arbitrarily, as in "Candidate level".
Easton Anderson
based swedebro
Brayden Reed
Earring = friendliness?
Eli Richardson
caruana looks gay
Matthew Green
youtube.com
does Karjakin studder in Russian?
Isaac Reed
You can only post ITT of your country has a top 10 chess player
NOT SO FAST GERMANY
Ethan Long
Surely Caruana isn't beating Magnus anyway?
Does anyone here even have a chance?
Michael Morales
where's my main man boris gelfand
Nolan Williams
Gone to shit.
Adam Robinson
Not really, but we can dream.
Noah Cruz
today's pairings:
grischuk - karjakin
kramnik - aronian
mamedyarov - caruana
ding liren - so
round starts in 75 bings
also bump I guess
Gabriel Clark
Big matches.
Wyatt Lopez
Decisive day methinks.
Although, to be fair, every match is unpredictable between these guys.
Sebastian Clark
I bet shak and caruana quickly draw
also aronians gonna win but Kramnik will take the postmortem he's 9-0 already there
Parker Kelly
He, Aronian and Kramnik could potentially win a match, but the latter two have imploded.
You may only post in this thread if your country has a chess player rated above 2700.
Leo Wilson
It will almost certainly be a draw.
Aronian will be looking to try to get his pride back.
Jeremiah Sanchez
just bought a chess24 premium membership lads
ama
Liam Green
is it worth it? what do they offer? also whats your uscf or elo rating?
Hunter Moore
i just bought it so I can't say if it's worth it. The video series which are also made into ebooks seem like they will be useful. I have notice the tactics trainer is better than all I have used so far too. My rating is not good.
Tyler White
The two americans are the only ones at the candidates who werent born under communism
Logan Myers
why is communism so good at creating top level chess players
Wyatt Jackson
Coverage of chess is still very much flawed.
I need to see the chessboard and I need to see Caruana's face so I can proactively hate it.
Thomas Walker
you're the worst poster on all of Sup Forums!
Henry Brooks
Leave this thread.
Leo Scott
Alexander Cox
>two sliteyes and a spaghetti
Jaxson Nelson
Hope that fag Caruna loses today
Lincoln Edwards
Discipline.
Landon Torres
fabiANO was born and lives in the USA.... stop this meme
Kevin Reed
>hoping that Mamedyarov wins
Zachary Torres
>that receding hairline
Connor Smith
when was the last time there was an actual checkmate at a candidates or world championship match?
Ryan Perez
I need the storyline here. When and how did Portugal get bullied by Caruana?
Jaxon Ortiz
Fabiano refused to watch > our league
Nathaniel Taylor
White : QG(D/A), English, rarely Ruy Lopez
Black: Sicilian Najdorf
Wyatt Gonzalez
based ding
Nicholas Garcia
thoughts?
Jack Allen
Now I definitely won't!
