If you count how many players there are in the top ten, you get that picture. If you count the players above 2700, the picture changes drastically.

My brother was in the local newspaper for getting 3rd place in a recent tournament. Do I get a wildcard?

Perennial reminder that the autistic norge op stopped playing chess online because after getting BTFO he claimed his opponents were cheating

I doubt every one of your claims except the lazy part

>>74346684
it hurts

>>74340003
Caruana is American, the others are traitors.

>>74345827
how did he learn? I know all the rules of chess but I everytime I play I get my ass kicked :/

>>74339634
Since this is the land of opportunity that accepts all without question.

Since Azerbaijan will never post here I'm taking his place

>>74339634
Caruana is italian so suck my dick norway shitter chess

>>74349932
It will please you to hear that Sandro Mareco recently broke into the top 100.

Whether he will stay or not is another matter entirely.

Hi guys

is there some intelligent way to bully and intimidate the rival?

>tfw Paco Vallejo wasted his talent

>>74346802
aren't there are an infinite number of chess games?

>>74354663
Vallejo is pretty good. You've hardly wasted your talent if you manage to achieve a rating in excess of 2700.

>>74339634

Is this like when Germany won the world cup with a team of Turks and Poles?

>>74354880
caruana was born in florida, but you're just a dumb bong trying to get (You)s, so here

>Oldest player is 48
What happens after 50? Do you lose the ability to play chess?

>>74355035
Not really. You lose the ability to keep your concentration through long games, and your energy levels decrease. Both Karpov and Kasparov are still world-class players in rapid and blitz.

Is letting out big rippers a legitimate tactic in putting off your opponent?

>>74355189
Only if the female leagues. Men started wearing protective gear.

Wtf giri

>>74354880
Caruana is Italian-American. But yeah m8, diversity is our strength. Non-Americans will never understand this.

>Germany won the world cup with a team of Turks and Poles
How pathetic of a country like Britain to try to constantly take away everything from Germany. Your only WC won because a non-goal was counted, and against Germany at that, and now you think you can talk others, especially us, down?

Podolski who is partly German who barely played, Klose whose father was German who also didn't play a lot. Khedira whose mother is German who didn't play in the final, Boateng whose mother is German. Ozil is one Turk but played like shit.
Then we have Neuer (best gk in the world), Kroos (man of the match in 7-1), Götze, Schürrle (who both were responsible for the winning goal in the final), Hummels, Lahm, Höwedes, Müller (who will soon be the highest scoring player in WC history) and others as well who are all full German.

Why are brits so obsessed with the yanks and the krauts?

>Your only WC won because a non-goal was counted

The German last minute equaliser was due to a handball from a free kick that shouldn't have been given.

We take the best from everywhere else and make it better. Stay mad, Dad.

>>74339634
What happened with the "Dutch" guy?

>>74365266
Absolutely nothing. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov has just been playing very well, overtaking Giri in the process.
