Nepo and Macer - the two big stories of the month

Sort:
macer75

One just won a Tal Memorial that featured the likes of Vladimir Kramnik, Vishy Anand and Levon Aronian, to follow up an amazing 8/10 performance in the Olympiad. The other, also in fantastic form, went 68/0/0 over an entire month, is currently riding an 80+ game win streak, and shows no signs of slowing down. Of these two biggest stories in chess today, which are you more impressed by and why?

So, what are your thoughts on who is more impressive?

I think 68-0 has to be some kind of record.  Chessbase should be covering this.

Joseph_Truelson

Yeah, they should put your games on chessbase. Or you can, publish them yourself. The only problem is that everyone can prepare for you.

Right now Nepo is more amacing, I think that you would completely win the amacing battle if you were on to win all your games in bullet, the faster the cooler.

If you could beat Computer Easy at 1 0 that would be impressive

Clearly the computer.

He is 1678 in blitz, it shouldnt be that hard for him to beat computer IHANGPIECES in 1 0.

I'm 1686, but 1/0 is a completely different game. I've only played 40 bullet games in over 4 years on chess.com, and most of them were under slower bullet time controls (e.g. 2/1). So I must concede that with regard to bullet, I am not quite amacing ... yet.

And not to be pedantic, but Nepo cannot be more amacing than me, considering the definition of the word. He can be more amazing though, which is what I think you're saying, and I respect your opinion.

Lol, I saw that thread years ago, I was saying amacing in purpose.

i suspect  Computer1-EASY-is in cahoots with you - i'd report you both if it were not for that staff symbol on your opponent ...

68-0-0 is impressive, although I do like to castle before move 60.

Well... the 68-0-0 was before the computer acquire  staff symbol, so...
