/chess/ Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz Tournament

GO KARJAKIN WIN FOR PUTIN

10/10 pic but chess is >>>/tg/ and I have not even the slightest idea why would you think it is a sport.

>>77636604
because the Olympic committee considers it a sport an their opinion is more relevant that yours ;)

>>77636604
There's been multiple chess threads recently and it pisses off /sp/ when people talk about chess. Plus the return of Kasparov deserves a thread.

>>77636573
I expect a good performance from kasparov, not winning tho
>>77636581
this
the """"""americans"""""" are a joke

BRING ON THE MAGNUS OR IM NOT WATCHUS

>>77636573
When the fuck is Magnus going to get passed? He's been dancing on a thin line for like a year now.

>>77636626
The Olympic committee considers hosting games in Brazil a good idea, smoking weed and standing on a plank a sport and having men with a wig a woman. What was your argument again?
>>>/tg/

>>77636668
He still is clearly the strongest player. His losses almost exclusively stem from him pushing to much.

>>77636682
Just shut up and leave you filthy monkey. Nobody cares what a nigger ape like you thinks.

Kasparov is doing very well against Karajakin. He's controlling the opening and has good position going into the midgame.

>>77636668
I hope soon but doesn't seem likely, and I really don't want the traitor pinoy to be number 1

>>77636668
It must be frustrating to not have won a tournament in over a year. He's had good showings but he can't seal the deal.

>this ten minute think
Kasparov what are you doing?

Reminder chessposters belong on >>>/asp/

now fuck off.

>not rooting for Caruana and Nakamura, the two american players

>>77637420
Caruana sucks at faster time controls. Naka4lyfe.

>>77637420
I'm hype for Nakamura and Kasparov. Caruana is pretty uninteresting to me.

Is caffeine allowed?

>>77637568
Yes, Naka is even sponsored by RedBull

Just joined and it's Nakamura against Kasparov? Seirawan on commentary? So sick.

>it's a Kasparov loses his opening advantage in the midgame episode
He hasn't changed at all

Kasparov's disapproving face can would crush you right there.

Here are the standings going into the last round of the day:
Nakamura - 1.5
Karijakin - 1.5
Nepomniachtchi - 1.5
Kasparov - 1.0
Caruana - 1.0
Aronian - 1.0
Le - 1.0
Dominguez Perez - 1.0
Anand - 0.5
Navara - 0.0

this game has more ties than soccer

>>77638473
time for fischer random to become the official chess

This epic music and dramatic editing is a little ridiculous for these games.

1. e4 e5

3. Ra3

don't know what this opening is called. When everyone's busy with their knights (meme piece) I sacrifice an early tempo to get my rooks activated. Works 50% of the time
