https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/magnus-carlsen-invitational-2020/11/1/1 Because bad things happen to everyone: Carlsen just kinda randomly plays some garbage and loses a piece on move 7.

If I didn't know otherwise, I would have believed verything up through turn 10~ was a replay of one of my bungled games. I wonder if Carlsen thinks his top4 spot is essentially locked in, and is using the game as a chance to practice non-standard stuff or not give away lines he'd like to "save" for the knockouts. Either way it's funny that this happens hours after this article was published: https://www.espn.com/chess/story/_/id/29097362/magnus-carlsen-gamechanger

Perhaps it's a data entry error, but the standings already have Nepo up 2-0 will Game 2 just hit move 24. Carlsen is line 2, Nepo line 6.

quote:It helps that the commentary has been so punchy. One Carlsen blunder was described as “a howler of unbelievable proportions” by the Russian grandmaster Peter Svidler – a comment matched by the English international master Lawrence Trent, who suggested Ding might be a “choker”. On the Spanish broadcast, meanwhile, Pepe Cuenca’s machine-gun delivery made every stunning combination sound like a Lionel Messi golazo. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/b...MP=share_btn_tw

hikaru, on his youtube channel, played some weird game where all his pieces were knights and he won. he had some info about it. he claims if you have 3 knights protecting each other in a circle and the king is hanging around them, you basically cant get checkmated?

if you can take three knights and place them on a standard chessboard so they all protect each other I will give you a coupon for eight hamburgers

Playing with it on a board it seems like you can just have 3 knights kind of 'follow' each other in a circle. So like Nbd4 N2b3 Nfd2 N4f3 etc forever

i let it run up to depth 37 and black's lead dropped to -0.6 or something so its probably a draw

Im using self-deprecation to make myself not care about rating, so I hype myself with thoughts like "your rating is overinflated anyways, just go lose to get it over with you wimp" and then immediately get games like this: It doesnt make me feel stronger at chess but it sure as hell doesnt make me feel worse lmfao
