Yeah exactly like Game 7.
41 move draw, really fast. This is over.

This kid has only heard of maybe 10% of the players he is going to read about in these threads. He knows even less about thier histories and going to criticize tery.......Best to just read and stfu but I know thats difficult

Yeah at 6-3 this is turning into a rout quickly

Scroll to 2:18:00 and they show video of what happened.

Embrace this opinion grapejuice, don't fight him on the messageboard.
Nothing motivates more than a healthy rivalry.

Flyers started strong and looked really good......
Lost 8 straight.......
AV fired today........
See you all next year for the 46th season in a row......

I really just want 1 Stanley Cup before I die, just fucking 1. Is this too much to ask?

Generally true, no doubt. What I mean is nepo has to try to take magnus out of any preparation gameplay if possible. The only way to do that is with some creative thinking. More risky but what he is doing is clearly not working against Magnus right now and time is running out.

Yeah really close to over but you never know. Nepo can maybe play much more creative now because he has take chances. Just getting a win with the white pieces in Game 9 will change everything.

Bumping this for Season 8

Would have been possible if the ESEA webpage didn't change. In the older version, you could find individual games a lot easier but 1-2 years ago everything changed on the website and it is extremely difficult if not impossible to really do research like that anymore.

Anything pre-ESEA and RGL have no stat tracking systems so those are completely impossible.

I agree, a testament to his greatness no doubt. The constant computer evaluations are exactly what a lot of people think is so wrong with what chess has become. Some (not all) of the magic and ingenuity is being lost or not realized.

Relying on computer programs to train and teach the game. One thing it cannot teach is the pressure and human factor of actually playing the game. Stress causes fatigue and fatigue causes blunders. Mistakes are part of chess and there are way to many draws in today's game that would never have been accepted in past generations.

Viswanathan Anand was the first to truly put computers into his training and he got a lot of negative attention from observers and players alike. He was a preparation player and amazing in his own right but I dislike the computer aspect.

Game 6 going on right now easily the most exciting of the match so far. Magnus has a real chance for a win here but Nepo is just trying to survive.

edit: Just set a record for the Longest World Championship match ever recorded.

edit2: All over, Magnus win. What a fucking game, they are going to be talking about this Game 6 for a long ass time. Nepo was insane with his defense. I am tired as fuck this went over 7 hours.

you (and several other ppl) should go reread the HUB post because you are clearly missing the point over and over with your posts
