carlsen did it again. hans now has company

carlsen got smashed by a kid, then brings up the topic of cheating in public tweets.

> This is not to accuse my opponent of anything, who played an amazing game and deserved to win, but honestly, as soon as I saw my opponent was wearing a watch early in the game, I lost my ability to concentrate

> I obviously take responsibility for my inability to deal with those thoughts properly, but it’s also incredibly frustrating to see organisers still not taking anti-cheating seriously at all (no transmission delay, spectators walking around the playing hall with smartphones)

it's like the old "I'm not racist, but..."

sounds like the kid was wearing an analogue watch.

Carlsen chose to play in the tournament with their rules which allow analog watches. If he had a problem with people wearing analogue watches he could have chosen not to play, or maybe had a private discussion with the organisers before the tournament starts asking them to change the rules.

carlsen's a bad sport. he adds another young player to his hit list.

I think Carlsen will retire soon. He hardly plays classical chess anymore because he can’t stand losing. Reminds me of Ulf Andersson who was a brilliant player in his youth but hated to lose so much that for the second half of his career he drew basically all his games until nobody wanted to invite him to any tournament anymore.

Magnus doesn't target players for being young. He respects many of em.

He may not be the best sport, but what are Kamsky and Kramnik in comparison?

"sounds like the kid was wearing an analogueueu watch". was it examined? a GM shoulda known das is verbotten. He was mr fiddle watch. he played a perfect game. not saying there is anything wrong with that. plus you slung a race analogy?! puh-leeeze.

They are better sportsmen than Magnus, I suppose, and I think trolling Kamsky and Kramnik is not a good way to go. Magnus is frequently shouting drunk on his stream, crowdsourcing moves, account sharing and cheating in any way he can. This is what we know of from video, not speculation and rumours. Now he's falsely accusing not just opponents but also arbiters and prestigious chess tournaments. Even Nick Kyrgios and Sergio Ramos are gentlemen by comparison. Your man has from Cedur!

The tournament, the player and the arbiter acted in accordance with the FIDE regulations. Magnus seems to handle not getting his own way like a 2 year old. I agree that the analogy H2B2 used is a bit too strong, but I think it was meant in good faith.

2 o'clock means defend f2. 6 o'clock means play Nd4. 4:33 means Bh5 then Qh3 followed by g5 then g6 then Rc1.
