I'm wondering why Firoudja slammed the kings on the board. It looks like he was upset that the arbiter stepped in. But if that's true, it's another unprofessional outburst from Firoudja. Just like with Tata Steel, there are rules to be followed and the arbiter is there to impartially impose those rules.
Also, all of this flagging discussion above is besides the point. In this tournament almost nobody gets flagged. These are elite blitz players very capable of making moves with 2 second increments.
exactly the arbiter was really the only highlight for this topic to even be made and its not the fact that flagging is important, i just hate how he calls dirty flagging a skill when its not even displaying much technique but hoping for the flag. the arbiter is the main intention of this thread and yeah i rlly just didnt like how he stepped in but yeah rules are rules and we just have to respect him for being there to follow those rules, credit to him for doing his job
Once again my friend. Hopefully you took your medicine and can focus as I repeat the quote from Levon Aronian the leader of the tournament and how he describes blitz. "Its not about making the best or "correct" move, its about posing the hardest question to your opponent" That is blitz.
Now think about that. How accurate and what position someone has on the board is not as important as burning your opponents time down, period! And that is a separate strategy, technique and skill in itself. Its like classcial in constant time pressure.
ARoniuan is at the top of the leaderboard as the sole leader for a reason. He is also very humble he doesn't consider himself a coach, because he was never the type of player to study chess everything comes naturally to him. But I don't think he gives himself enough credit. I think he would be a great coach.
you spelled his name wrong and its kinda upsetting how you did this in the past few pages and yes he is the sole leader but i dont expect him to hold it, are you forgetting your predictions with hikaru and how he would somehow win the event or have chances in it? again i have nothing but admiration for aronian and indeed hope he wins the event as he hasnt had a good past but with that said i rlly dont support your criticism of others
He is wearing the American Eagle shirt beacuse of the comments in the who is the most noble thread. And Magnus has 3 losses in the blitz event. And just like HIkaru was the only player to go undefeated in the Rapid event. ONLY PLAYER TO GO UNDEFEATED IN THE RAPID EVENT. Hikaru is still undefeated in the blitz event, and like you said its a huge field all tied behind the 3 leaders. And what do you mean Aronian hasn't had a good past. He is one of the best in the world and just won the Tata Steel tournament a few weeks ago which is a huge blitz tourney.
dude his wife literally past away fighting for her life in a hospital...
I know and he has a beautiful new girlfriend now and just moved to America and having a good time. Why even bring that up? I'm leaving now. have a good night.
cause if your saying aronian has had a good past then your wrong cause he has been going through emotional turmoil and hasnt gone through so much breakthroughs yet. he wasnt doing well in the tour and the blitz event might be his biggest win ever if he manages to do it which will be very beautiful to see. also i kind of hate how you say it so casually that he got a new girlfriend and moved to america, its like Arianne was nothing, thats disrespectful.
I'm talking about his chess career. Why would I be discussing his personal and private life, why is that even related to the discussion? I hope he didn't tank today because he got wind of your post. What is wrong with you?
and i am talking about his literal past and how i am rooting for the guy as he hasnt had any lucky breaks but emotional turmoil, i kind of hate how you just brush it all off and say things are way better now for aronian when it was hard for him to even get through it
Again, I don't why his personal life should be discussed. He has a beautiful girlfriend, just moved to America, He just won the Tata Steel. Again, what is wrong with you? You just bought him down. I'm sorry I ever even replied to you at this point.
again whats wrong with you if you call yourself an aronian fan and dont even know he has literally been one of the few people in the elite who has had it the hardest
Its obvious I know his past. And what is also obvious is that you should have stayed banned because you are still hurting people. Bringing up his deceased wife into this discussion for no reason, is evil.
then why did you say he hasnt had a bad past? where were you in 2020 where he literally was doing bad in all tournaments except the magnus chess tour where he got 2nd?
Why bring up his personal life? And why even bring it up when he has been playing well? And I completely disagree because the guy has always had an amazing career. And you contradict yourself like the typical chess player. He did bad in 2020 but came in 2nd in the Magnus Chess tour. lol I think there is something wrong you.
in one event? dude he lost rlly badly throughout 2020 and only had one good event...
