He could be losing to a 1000 women every day for the rest of his career, and it wouldn't change the fact that women absolutely suck at chess.

It's the same way with Go. Men are just better than women when it comes to these types of games. It amazes me that you can say women on average are better than men when it comes to learning a second language or multitasking but as soon as you say men are better at other things, people lose their shit. Men should acknowledge their greatness and live up to it instead of wasting time propping women up. They're not equal to men and never will be.

I am aware of some females playing shogi, but never even heard of a woman playing go.

There are women who are pros at Go. They do win against men sometimes, it's just rare. They have separate tournaments and titles for them. I also think the way it works is the top women who compete to become pros become them regardless of the difference in win/loss ratios against other men. They're still also allowed to still compete in the regular tournaments as well, they just never win them. I think one woman in Japan won a main tournament once in the 80s or 90s, but that's it. Most don't even reach 9 Dan in rank.

9 Dan or 9 Kyuu?

Few men would even reach 9 Dan, it is the highest of the highest, 'legendary' rank. In shogi best pro females are 3-4 Dan.

Sascha Grischuk is much more entertaining than the game :lol: they should make him chief diplomat for Russia.

He would probably go to Trump and ask right away "why you still have the same shit hairstyle like last time?"

I remember this interview with the Grinch, it went something like

"How did you feel about this tournament?"
"This is difficult question"
"Let me get out of the chess part of it then ; how do you feel about your experience? Did you like the city?"
"Yes no, I did not like it, I play badly"
"So you're disappointed?"
"No yes, yes I am disappointed, when you loose you are disappointed"

Anyway, I'm rooting for Fabiano. He's a much nicer guy, that's for sure. Not sure he has any chances, but, fuck it.

I'm always rooting for the nerd, so I hope Fabiano wins.
He seems like a more sympathetic person than Magnus too.
And he sure as hell plays more interesting chess than Vishy "The Mattress from TigrisThe Tiger from Madras" Anand and "Minister of Defence" Karjakin.
But overall Magnus has played best so far.

Why does the livestream never show the players? The way they present those matches it is more like they are reading a game from a chess book, and it would be more interesting to see the players actually on the board.

Also whenever I switch in the game has already transposed into some kind of super boring endgame with 3 pawns and 1-2 major pieces in some sort of perpetual Zugzwang, which teaches me nothing. But that's certainly because I am not good enough at chess, and it is actually more about entertainment value to see the players like Swidler, Grischuk or Sopiko talk about other players.

Still, my impression is that the players are becoming more like machines who depending on their form always turn out those endgames (there is also always talk of engines that find the best lines). So it is more a contest of fitness.

But it is usually entertaining, intelligent and funny people talk about something I do not really understand.
