Guys Magnus Carlson has declared his last tournament. Hello Declared that he will be playing Tata Steel Chess Championship as his last tournament. I am Very Sad to hear this news but to start a new era the old era should come to an end.

I don't believe he's retiring, just not as interested in classical time controls.

In chess, only death makes you really retire

Chess is dead. All the indian players now use generic tactics and study engines to basically cheat. Magnus is the last true champion that was raised on real chess studies and tactics. Not a computer or studying a player’s mistakes. Gukesh used a big wobbly chair to distract ding. I think the only indian player close to being genuine now is pragg. He had some good games in tata but the rest were so basic and generic. Im a 400 rating right now and could see their moves coming. Magnus said in a recent interview that the champions dont play like real champions. Chess is dead

A 400 rating player should not be able to predict the moves of a gm... EVER.

They started mocking me in the twitch stream before they banned me for 33 hours. Calling me a prophet and such... these gm’s arent special anymore. Its just a society of buffers.

Magnus just got married, surely he'll start playing again.
