>Nakamura will never be successful against Carlsen

is Kramnik better than Carlsen?

/asp/
/tg/

>>76451986
He won a game last year.
>>76451997
Their later encounters have been heavily in the Norwegian's favour, but if Kramnik is in form and Carlsen is not, Kramnik is better. He might be the active player with the deepest understanding of the game.

>47 years old
>still more than 200 points higher rated than the best Australian player
>said player is named Zong-Yuan Zhao

Soon Dopeway will have no sports heroes to be proud of

Carlsen is still the #1 on the rating list, and will remain World Champion for a long time.

#16, 2749. He has been worse, but he's no longer taking chess as seriously as he used to.

Wow, those traditional American names sure are strange...

>>76451969
Kramnik being at 2 at his age is more impressive than Carlsen being at 1. Fact.

>>76452162
lmao he wouldn't be the world champion now if he didn't get lucky

karjakin already had him beat

stopped giving a fuck about chess after all the bullshit rigging and doping scandals. gtfo back to >>>/asp/

>>76452514
I agree.
>>76452520
There is no random chance in chess.

>>76452554
Magnus Carlsen has three sisters.

>>76452559
There is no random chance in football but you're still lucky if your opponent misses an empty net from the goal line.

>>76452577
There's only one cute one.

>>76452582
Finland is a non-country in chess in particular and sports in general. Deal with it.

>>76451969

Will fabiano caruana ever become the GOAT?

>>76451969
kramnik at 2, and he was thinking of quitting 5 years ago

>>76452663
On the bright side of things, Ivan Cheparinov seems to be climbing into the 2700 club again.
>>76452682
Possibly.
>>76452708
I hope he improves or maintains his rating to the point where he qualifies for the Candidates. There are only two rating spots, for which Kramnik, So and Caruana are the only realistic candidates.

had no idea who this lad is, but nigga looks like the nerd version of Klitschko, kek

>>76452844
If I'm not mistaken, he has been as high as 2713 before, but he has been up and down the last few years.

Do they ever televise these matches? I wanna drink and watch chess

What happened to anand (sp?) I cant imagine your chess ability falls off drastically at his age

>>76452970
Yes. In fact, chess has become one of the more important TV sports in Norway. For english-speaking audiences, tournaments and matches are commonly streamed with a pair of commentators, where one or both is a strong GM. Later today, the fourth round of Norway Chess will be played.

>>76452935
good, its nice to see that there are still young talents, i didnt know that anyone from the younger generation gives a fuck about chess after Topalov(who was still born during the gommie times)

>>76452983
He lost a game to Kramnik and dropped to #11.

>>76452620
Far left

What season is the world championship in? Feels like it should be soon

>>76452995
He's 30. Not old by any standards, but not young either. As a matter of fact, Bulgaria's chess elite is pretty old as a whole. Kiril Georgiev, your #3, is already past 50.
>>76453021
Every other year, normally late in even-numbered years. 2013 was an exception.

>>76451969
Aren't you tired of spamming this shit?

>>76453061
Aren't you excited for Aronian - Carlsen today?

>>76453003

I think that's his dad and not his sister

can he stop carl the cuck?

>>76456235
He's not even the most dangerous Chinese player. Ding Liren seems to have excellent chances to qualify for the Candidates Tournament, while Wei Yi has yet to achieve anything in the WC cycle. Unless the organizer decides to award him the wild card, I don't see him as a threat to Carlsen's dominance. There are many other players who are more dangerous, such as So and Caruana.

really makes you think

Classical chess is a solved drawfest anyway, rapid and blitz is where it's at.

Not bullet though, bullet is gay.

>>76457238
I disagree about classical chess. Amazing games are produced on a regular basis, such as Kramnik's rook sacrifice against Harikrishna earlier this year.

I do agree about bullet.

>>76453080
How has Aronian been doing lately? I think his rank went down since the last time I saw your chess general, but not sure.

>>76457796
He recently won the Grenke Chess Classic very convincingly, ahead of players such as Carlsen, Caruana and Vachier-Lagrave.

Nakamura beat Vachier-Lagrave. White is better in every game.

i don't follow the chess, but are slavs still the best at this game?
this is first good norwegian?

>>76456304
Wei Yi is 10 years younger

>>76457238
if you think bullet is shit, try armageddon, fucking 10 second matches
