What's all this talk of dethroning, deflowering when the time comes all about?

Nobody said anything about deflowering...there's no place for inuendo in chess.

Apologies got mixed up with choking.

fabiano is going up

With the way caruana is playing recently, I say Fabiano and Carlsen will be swapping the world title back and forth in a few years.

What's wrong with good old fashioned mating?

Nothing.

Do you guys know how to mate with two bishops, two knights, or a knight and a bishop 😮

MuhammadAreez10

Yes with two bishops and bishop + knight.

MuhammadAreez10

Two knights can't force checkmate, but I know how to force the king to the edge/corner and mate him if my opponent blunders! :)

camberfoil

Did that sound utterly wrong to anyone else?

I'm not going to get it on with one bishop tonight...nevermind two. they aren't supposed to do that.

Chicken_Monster

and you can't force mating someone. it's illegal.

I would hope for Naka, but realistically carlsen will be #1 until maybe age 40

Caruana

I think Caruana definitely will dethrone Magnus.

Caruana may have peaked and is going backwards at a rate of knots.

ponz111

only old age or more advanced age will dethrone Magnus.

Nah, I dont think he has peaked yet. He might not play a single tournament as successful as that genius performance for some time, but his general chess playing ability will improve further, I'm sure of it.

 

That guy looks hungry for even more success.
