Why didn't the remaining black knight capture the free bishop on D4 at the bc7_DsyBKWo&t=12m25s 12:25 mark? Why is this not possible?

Do these grandmasters play new moves only to showcase on agadmators channel?

I love Kasparov, but I think he is being pretty unfair to Nepo and Ding in that quote. The World Champion is not the World Champion if he refuses to defend his title. Nepo or Ding will become the true World Champion in every sense of what that means.

Kasparov is simply wrong.

Kasparov is a great example of how one can be absolutely brilliant at something while being a total idiot at everything else.

Realizing there is no Carlsen in the cover picture of
Ag Channel is a Magnus thing to wonder.

Garry in the typical limelight hogging mode by making the obviously provocative comments

Not defending your title and leaving chess gives a sour taste to the next world champion, but at least he can say that he is the best person that plays chess actively (since the previous retired). But in Magnus' case, whoever wins the championship they can't tell that they're the best chess players. Carlsen really secured his title as the best in the world with this move.

Yeah, though that's the decision Magnus made.

For some reason none of the Philippine channels except Kelvinllovejr even cover this game. LOL. But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on.

Such a boring game of chess from viewing experience. It was like a homework calculating rook moves rather than having fun

2nd comment: Some Iranians say Alireza (and Mohammadreza?) Firouzja is a traitor to Iran. (Source: xbw4kx ) I have no idea if that's true (anyone have ideas?), but:

1 - Hikaru Nakamura is a traitor to the US for siding with Magnus Carlsen over fellow American Hans Niemann.

2 - Daniil Dubov is a traitor to Jews & Russians for siding with Magnus over fellow Jewish Russians Ian Nepomniachtchi & Sergey Karjakin.

3 - Garry Kasparov is a traitor to Jews for cheating fellow Jew Judit Polgar.

4 - Also some Americans or Philippine people / Filipinos / Filipinas are traitors if they don't consider Wesley So the REAL world champion for the period 2019Nov - 2023Mar. (Kidding...sort of.)

- 4.1 - Or worse, they consider Wesley So a traitor for moving to the US when Eugene Torre supports the decision which was practically forced due to the corruption of Philippine chess president Prospero Pichay Jr who was somehow re-elected in 2022 July despite being convicted of graft in 2022 June. Probably the same reason Arianne Caoili (Levon Aronian's dead spouse) left the Philippines for Australia.

Wesley So is like Bobby Fischer in a good way. Magnus is like Bobby Fischer in a bad way. SAYNOTO2900

Why are Magnus and Garry compared to Bobby Fischer? Can you be valedictorian if you cheated in school?

- Garry Kasparov cheated Judit Polgar.

- Magnus Carlsen cheated Alireza Firouzja, Danya Naroditsky and Ian Nepomniachtchi.

Wesley So is like Bobby Fischer in a good way:

W1 - Each 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American', but they have great moms. (This also applies Beth Harmon and Hans Niemann.)

W2 - Betrayed by their home country, they got citizenship elsewhere.

W3 - 1st American world champions: Bobby was 1st American-born WCC. Wesley So is 1st WC (and played for the US at the time but wasn't citizen until 1.5 years later).

W4 - Unjustifiably lose their world titles 3 years after gaining them because FIDE was favouring a European over them.

W5 - Hate chess and love 9LX.

W6 - Have a lot of friends from the Philippines including Eugene Torre and Lotis Key.

W7 - Met a corrupt president in the Philippines. Bobby met Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. Wesley So met NCFP president Prospero Pichay Jr.

W8 - Correctly accuse Tigran Petrosian of cheating.

Magnus is like Bobby Fischer in a bad way:

M1 - Ra()st against Americans & Jews (source: ZS4ZPF )

- M1.1 - (Bobby is kinda like Sergey Karjakin though: Has the 'right' to discriminate in the sense that they're born the nationality they're discriminating against. What's Magnus' 'right'? Magnus can discriminate only against Norwegians and maybe gentiles.)

M2 - Likes 9LX but never really played it

M3 - Is mentally unhealthy

M4 - Unrelated: European citizens of Nordic countries. Beat a Russian in their last WCC which was controversial: Magnus cheated Nepo, and Bobby resigned a game.
