Official World Championship Thread - #CarlsenKarjakin

Are you sure he will understand that? The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that's a language you invented for an extraterrestrial race as a child.

MSC wants to bragg about his knowledge of slovak, a very poor language

when is he next thread about a match he is playing against someone rated 300 or 500 points below him ? and who do you think would win a bragging deathmatch, MSC or Solskytz ?

Listen, those matches and the threads were my idea. All of them were lots of fun, and I don't remember MSC bragging about anything. He could brag about his good sportmanship though. And I've got way more benefits than him by playing them.

it was just a simple question man.

Next month, @ASFOP.

However, I'll not tolarate bashing anyone in this thread until the start of WCC. Make another thread and feel free to say anything you want about me or anyone else.

@pdela, 'points difference at the end' can only be a natural number, including zero. I suggest you change your pick. 

ℕ₀ = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...}

If anyone is interested, this game gave me an idea for my latest blog post. I will bring it out just before the start of the match (providing it is finished by then).

Absolutely! I'll close betting at the start of Opening Ceremony.
