Wow. If make.com can afford to sponsor a chess tournament .. their users are overpaying.
eterm•1h ago
You might be surprised how little money there is in chess.
HardwareLust•1h ago
Total purse was $300k, Magnus got $100k of that for winning.

Which confirms the point, right?

100%.

It's not chess but a variant. Maybe it has ~10-100 times less viewer base.
thatswrong0•36m ago
I wish it was more popular - it’s more enjoyable to watch and play since it’s not nearly as much prep / memorization

It feels like the cohort GM player pool is mentally cooked against Magnus.

Youngsters like Lazavik during the Speed Chess Championship or Sindarov in Freestyle were the most recent convincing wins against Magnus, but the historical mental edge that Magnus comes into each game after beating the brakes out of everyone is hard to overcome.

Magnus' time will come! But not today.

or maybe he's just very good?

Brain ages. He will eventually decline just like any human being. Let's hope by then he will have the wisdom to smile when that happens.
make3•9m ago
Ageism also just one of these shitty unproven biases, like sexism, which is self-realizing by applying pressure to people who fall out of the mold even slightly.

He's 30 something, not 90.

FreakLegion•19m ago
Are you referring to the odd individual game? Magnus beat Lazavik pretty badly in the SCC and knocked Sindarov out of the Freestyle final.

I think Nakamura didnt play this time because of his Candidates prep. Otherwise I think Nakamura would have a slight edge on Carlsen in this game.

Do the engines have a similar edge in Fischer Random and regular chess?
