Did you know GM stands for Goblin Men

and we all already know it’s bullshit when people say that top level chess is all about memorizing computer lines, but I feel like the world #1 and #2 also being the fischer random finalists goes to show that that isn’t the case even more

We're sooooooo entering the era of frenemies Goku and Vegeta

[stupidchess]

me in 2024 explaining hikaru nakamura the chess streamer to people who don't follow chess: so imagine if vegeta decided to change careers and become a scientist at capsule corp or whatever and just be a fighter on the side instead of obsessing about surpassing goku all the time then after a while people start saying he's washed up because he hasn't been focusing on fighting as his main thing but he proves them wrong by entering a big tournament and winning and he continues to fight in tournaments and doing super well and like doing better than ever because now he's not acting like winning is the most important thing in the world and also he's much more chill and gets along with people better and overall just grew as a person and is inspiring people to get into martial arts and-

i remember ding saying he became depressed after becoming world champion. i don't know if it was a matter of translation the use of the word "depressed" instead of "unmotivated" and "sad" or if it was really actually talking about Depression™, but i always kinda assumed the latter just because it makes sense with his ups and downs. in any case, it's super impressive what he's done while going through whatever it is he's going through. all i wish is for him to chill and be happy. maybe losing the match will be good for him, he'll be less stressed and maybe enjoy playing again. and even if he never enjoys chess anymore, he could enjoy other things, and that's what matter. and congrats gukesh!!!!

if i wake up way earlier than i need to and they draw the last game i'll be so mad
