He had very good drawing chances against Nepo but unexpectedly resigned, claiming he was too tired to continue. Any chance he threw the game and the Russians are behind this? They've been wanting a Russian world champion for a long time.

Dude I get it you do not like Russians, but this is too far bruh. No politics in forums please.

How is this political?

Well, what other statements do you expect us to make about them after they attempted to interfere with our previous election with the goal of denigrate one of the candidates?

Referring to the Russian government obviously, not the people of Russia.

WHICH IS EXACTLY HOW THIS IS POLITICAL

It’s very funny to me how a board game tournament led to an argument about politics.

Notably missing from your post is an explanation of why, if Hao lost deliberately, he didn't simply play a bad move and THEN resign, instead of resigning in a position where he still had drawing chances.

If you're going to intentionally throw a game, it's not that hard to get a losing position first... especially when your opponent is one of the best super-GMs in the world.

Right. meh.png

The theory becomes so cumbersome that it sags to the ground of its own weight.

I'll stick with MY theory... Hao's nerves gave out under the strain and he resigned too soon.

This is one interesting forum

He resigned because the position was lost, even if it takes some playing around with the engines to make sure. He could have played on a bit longer given the importance of the event though.

Isn't every resignation in the history of chess intentionally losing?

Isn't the whole point of resigning so that you instantly lose the game?

Ben Finegold's video on the game was interesting because he is really good at describing positions and moves made.  Its a game which was equal, then became a game where white was slightly better but could be drawn with perfect play and from there it just gets worse and worse for white. Stockfish had the last position at -5 which means a lost position for white.

 

When you look at the broadcast, every time wang hao was to make moves he looked tortured, he was getting lower and lower on the clock and at the time of resignation Wang Hao had under five minutes. Nepomniatchi had almost an hour.

 

Nepomniatchi's position improved for every move being made, he had far more time and he was winning mentally.

I have several questions.

Do you know any reason to influence US election? Don't you think it was made up to turn people against other candidate? Do you trust your politicians?

Maybe Wang Hao was the impostor all along
