You still spelled his name wrong here, oh the hatred.

That's an obvious typo. Relax grammar nazi. If that's the only thing you can argue against in that dude's thread of disinformation, then you're pretty sad!

He's misspelled his name more than enough for it to be a typo.

He put the "L" before the "R", it's an obvious typo and not even really a spelling error. A spelling error would be typing "Carlson" instead of "Carlsen". 

But now I see why all of your ratings are so low!

 

Which he has done actually. You are the lazy one who doesn't do his research. No wonder why you are on chess.com right now, like me, because we are both lazy in different categories!!!

"Right" about what? What is it you think you're "right" about? Can you form a cogent sentence stating something that you think is correct? I just proved that literally every single thing you said is wrong.

No, they ARE assumptions. You can't just say you watched some livestream or video clip somewhere and therefore give YOUR INTERPRETATION of them as though it is gospel. By your own admission (not to mention your 215 chess rating), you just started getting involved in chess so you clearly do not understand how things work. 

What is this mystical "it" you keep referring to? You're using pronouns before even specifying a noun. I defended on earlier when that guy was attacking your typo, but you really do need to learn an at least rudimentary level of English reading and writing before you will be able to have a meaningful conversation or debate. 

Everything I said has EVERYTHING to do with your post. I point by point proved that everything you "think" you know is nonsense. 

After sifting through your random yammering, I FINALLLY see an assertion being made in your third paragraph. You're whining that you think top players see themselves as "elite". I sure as heck hope they do, because in the chess world, they most certainly are elite! There is nothing wrong with having an accurate and objective assessment of one's self. You would benefit greatly if you were able to do the same. Although in your case the result would be much less flattering. 

Chess is much more than a "board game". Maybe to you that's all it will ever be which is part of the reason you will always be embarrassingly weak at it. Chess is an international sport in which almost every country in the world compete. It is also a way to make a living for many professional players. Additionally, it's a rewarding and challenging hobby for all of the amateur players in the world who love the game. If none of this applies to you, that's your issue, not a fault of chess. 

What does "Nasa" have to do with anything? That's the non-sequitur of the year award winner. It's a defunct organization that is being put to shame by the private sector, such as Elon Musk's Space X. There are plenty of people who work at Nasa who are not intelligent at all. Having said that maybe you could even apply for a job there happy.png

For someone who is whining about not being on trial, you sure seem to be putting Magnus Carlsen on trial with those ridiculous insults and accusations you are hurdling at him. I think your problem is you're one of those characters who is frustrated because there is nothing in this world that you are even marginally good at, so you like to make it your business to hate on people who have ability and are able to achieve excellence!

Carlsen has done nothing but encourage people to get into chess. He has been involved with all sorts of projects and activities that help promote the game, such as his PlayMagnus app, and numerous appearances, talk shows, celebrity events such as playing against Bill Gates and Zuckerberg, etc. He is a wonderful ambassador for chess in every way, proving that you don't have to be a lackey nerd to be at the top of the game. 

Now you're back to blabbering about "it". Repeating your earlier nonsense about "many many clips of Carlsen doing what I say he has done". Again, WHAT HAS HE DONE? Are you complaining because you don't understand his playful trash talking when he is streaming? That's part of what makes the stream interesting for the viewers, and basically every streamer I've seen does some version of that, some more than others, such as GM Finegold. Even Botez likes to talk trash a lot (no such word as "alot" there champ). That adds spice to the broadcast and attracts more viewers. I'm sure they will all get along just fine without your subscription, lol.

Again, this is just simple grammar/typos/ spelling mistakes. None of that matters when the guy has started this thread with a post full of nonsense. If you can't think of anything else to go after him on than some minor spelling mistake or typo (it really doesn't matter which), then, again, I fully understand why ALL of your ratings are so low.

The bolded statement is wrong. Many GMs have second jobs. Really, the top 50 players in the world are the only people who even have a shot at making a living in playing chess. That is different when you turn to streaming or coaching, but right now I'm talking about OTB, serious chess. Out of those 50 players, around 25 of them have second jobs. The top 25 are the ones seriously competing for many and such things like that.

Because of this, most GMs turn to coaching if they can't break into the top rankings. Most of the time, they also have degrees from universities, so it isn't that hard to find a regular job.

1 bullet game that I lost. Bullet is not for me. Even in blitz I struggle. If you could spend a bit more time checking my posts you will see that I'm self-aware. Thanks for showing how thin skinned you are. Btw I only told you people (all of you that get in a heated debate regardless of who it is) to chill. Did that set an explosive mechanism in you? Once again CHILL

How about your 1126 blitz rating that's based on 272 games! I guess that's just a bunch of "bad luck" eh? You're secretly a "genius", right? 

I'm not the one who is thin-skinned here champ. You are! You're the one whining and crying and throwing a hissy fit. YOU chill!

Why don't you apply for the NM title? In the next month, we can tell if you are truly an NM or not.

What hissy fit? Are you delusional? I said, even in Blitz I struggle. Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Who talked about ratings? I said that I don't see any elitism in the first place. You are serious? I didn't cry about anything.

Btw do think I can make it to GM level , before the end of this ?
