Imagine if Magnus and Arjun had a 14-game match concurrent with the world championship. Everyone would watch that instead. FIDE would be so mad.
Does anyone want to switch their answer to 20-21?
What's the current age of the person who will eventually take over world #1 from Magnus?
22%Under 18
53%18-19
12%20-21
14%Over 21
93 votes • Final resultsIf anyone ever writes the book "How to beat 1900s at chess," which will be a game collection of 1900s losing to stronger players, I nominate my game at ALTO against Dina Belenkaya where I didn't make any howling blunders but my plan was too slow and she won pretty easily.
Weird incident at ALTO on the top board of the U1800 section. White makes a move and presses the clock. Black writes it down, then as he's putting down his pen, the pen presses the clock. White doesn't notice for several minutes, and goes on to lose in time pressure.
I watched this and thought, I must be spending too much time thinking about chess, I think I just heard the monkey say “knight e6”. But actually the monkey really did say “knight e6”. (around the 2:35 mark)
It’s gonna be hard to focus on my own last-round game while @thestrongchess and @natesolon are playing against each other for the ALTO championship. (starts in 30 minutes) chess.com/events/2024-charlo…
