Magnus Carlsen is an embarrassment

Sort:
JohnHS

This is still ongoing?  Is this going to the the 2016 Presidential Election of chess?  Endless debates, agonizing discussing, accusations, and stupidity from both sides?  My goodness.  I leave the World of politics to play chess with rational people, and I find chess politics!  Go figure ...

'Magnus Carlsen is an embarrassment.'

Oh, are you in the World Chess Championship? Or have a rating above 2800? No? Didn't think so. Have a bit of respect staples.

I don't think anybody here is butthurt or jealous of events in chess. It wasn't a soccer match.

Not a Magnus fan but here's why I don't think he's a disgrace.

He was just playing the most logical decision for the situation. It was certain that he could win in rapid and so didn't need to in classical. Is this disgacefull? No. A team that's 1-0 up playing defensivly isn't; so why would him playing safely be? Both of them aren't the most fun choices but they might be the best.

You might disgree with this argument but I hope you can at least agree it's coherent.

Although it does seem people have made similar arguments and that you are mixing up an incoherent argument with one you disagree with...

One plays to his strengths and wins game. As the saying goes "Winner! Winner! Winner!"

Oof 9000, that's like using a Psyduck @superchessmachine.

Psyduck's strongest move is confuse, but who wants to live their life confused all the time?

Btw given the fact that Carlsen is still a very young man he could possibly keep the World Title for another 20 to 25 years ! ( Boy the haters will be howling now  lol ).

No longer? @superchessmachine Maybe pick up a game and re-discover your childhood.
