    The Ben “rant opening” was one of the strongest plays I’ve seen in a long time.
  • @carneades4409
    shorter Ben: "Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong."
  • @yotoober1
    AS long as Kramnik approves, it's all good.
  • @aarons3014
    Fischer thought it was possible to play perfectly. Magnus knows that it is not possible. We don't live in a world of nonsense. We live in a world where chess is a combat sport, not a logic problem.

    Tell me you're old without telling me that…

    this is some serious debbie downer stuff from Ben. Magnus doesn't care about WC anymore because of forced lines, long time controls and not enough matches. I don't blame him. Not to mention several months of study of the same openings trying to find some incredibly small advantage.
  • ironic that we in the silly era of chess and we still require the top gm's to dress up for events where even poker celebrities dress in pajamas for their events!

    After many user requests, finally a Kramnik joke. Go Ben. One for each of ya.
  • @scowell
    Ah... but Fischer went crazy! And developed Fischer Random because he didn't like normal chess anymore... not sure what my point is... I guess when you reach that level you have to do something else.

    don't have fun playing a game :face-orange-raised-eyebrow:
  • @Matthew-bu7fg
    having watched that game, I'm almost certain the opponent was telling the truth when they claimed to be Magnus
  • @scottp2747
    I don't think black missed Bishop takes rook; I think black wanted to be able to castle first. But maybe that's not an important consideration.

    Ben you need "a Bex and a good lie down". Catch up on that sleep. The fundamentals are still in place and honoured. Christ look at the depth of opening study needed to compete successfully OTB. All is well young Ben🎉
  • @Cruz0e
    Magnus is also retired, fully ... and not world champion anymore
  • @robmckennie4203
    "i feel like I'm owed something for looking at this" isn't this sub game analysis? Didn't the person who sent the game in pay $5 to get it analysed?
