His name is Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, but the name is too long.

Good post. I'd say Aronian has been the best player in the world so far this year, looking at classical tournament performances from a neutral perspective.

Stupid Anand, just maintain your rating

>>78084506
Good post.

Bad posts, the OP clearly stated that you are not allowed to post.

He lost his game against the Canadian Anton Kovalyov at the World Cup today. He'll have to win with black tomorrow just to reach tiebreaks, or he will be eliminated.
>>78084532
That is merely to mock the American posters here. In practice, I cannot do anything about people posting in these threads. At least he's from India, and not some non-country like Brazil or Australia.

...or Finland, for that matter.
>>78084720
It is fairly likely that Magnus Carlsen will face not only your top player, but the French #2 as well. Etienne Bacrot has been showing good form lately, and is the slight favourite against Bu Xiangxi from China. If he wins, he will meet Carlsen in the third round.

>>78084769
Caruana no longer represents Italy.
>>78084780
Behave yourself. Even if Anand seems to be somewhat out of form, Harikrishna, Vidit and Adhiban are guys to look out for.

I'll stop shitposting when you stop cheating, Dopeway.

Don't mock him, he's one of the absolute best in the world.

when will chess have it's first female champion so everyone will pretend to care about chess?

>>78084431
>CARLSEN?

>>78085561

They've had female Women's champions for a long time and people still haven't cared. And it's going to be a long time before one wins the co-ed tournament, considering the best current player Hou Yifan is ranked outside of the top 50.

>>78085602

He's a big guy

Hou Yifan won a relatively strong open tournament in Biel recently, ahead of strong players such as Pentala Harikrishna and Etienne Bacrot.
>>78085602
It might amuse you to know that Maxime Vachier-Lagrave is commonly called "MVL", as the full name is a mouthful for some.
>>78085630
It's a game, a science, an art and above all a sport.
>>78085634
Feel free to post, nobody can stop you, but you haven't had a good player since Naiditsch transferred to Azerbaijan.

>>78084337
How's my boy Wei Yi doing?

>>78085865
Reasonably well. He lost his first game against Bator Sambuev, but managed to avoid disaster by winning the second game and the playoff. Today, he drew against Richard Rapport.
