Why did he say he would only play Firouzja Carlos??
Would he loose the title if he didn't play Nepo?

Re: TF Chess Club 2, WCC 2014, WCC 2016, WCC 2018 and WCC 2021
Fed up playing and beating his generation and wants to play the best of the next and Firouzja is:
https://chess24.com/en/read/news/magnus ... t-firouzja
https://www.chess.com/news/view/magnus- ... a-firouzja
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/ ... ons-remain
If he doesn't defend his title it will be between the top two of the Candidates, Nepo v Ding.
Most think it was mind games from Magnus towards Firouzja who then was bottom for a while and then finsihed 6 out of 8.
And most GMs think he will play. Especially now as should beat Nepo again. Maybe retire after that as next time the young men will be better.
But I dont think a Bobby Fischer 1975 refusal will happen next year, IMO.
And will happily donate £10 to Cats Protection if Magnus doesn't play Nepo.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

Agreed. He wouldn't be able to bear not being world champ cos he does have quite a big ego.Carlos J wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 3:44 pmFed up playing and beating his generation and wants to play the best of the next and Firouzja is:

Yo Carlos
Bit of a cheating storm afoot! Carlsen withdrew from Sinquefield Cup. Peeps reckons it's cos he thinks Hans Niemann cheats. Naka was very outspoken. Very interesting. Do check it out.

Yeah, read up after you mentioned it, then saw about Magnus resigning after one move against him. Will catch up the latest.englundgambit2 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 6:12 pm Have you been following it Carlos? Incredible.

Though the story was on BBC World News ticker yesterday about Niemann not backing down.

It's the hottest story in chess since Bobby Fischer went mental.
Just watching US Champs where Niemann is playing. And doing rather well.
Have to say, no proof of cheating over the board but he cheated online. Cheats are cunts yeah but I am finding the levels of hate and bullying slightly distasteful - and a lot of fuckers like naka and gotham are profiteering from this cos zillions are tuning in. Respect to the dude for even turning up!
Is it right his career ends? Hmmm dunno. Maybe his online career yeah but seems thousands have been doing it.
I am a tad conflicted on this.

Agree with you 100%. Even the chess.com report states at the beginning, cheating online more that he admitted, but no evidence of anything over the board.englundgambit2 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 8:28 pm It's the hottest story in chess since Bobby Fischer went mental.

So yeah, should still be allowed to play otb in my opinion.
And yeah, can imagine what social meeja is like and not going to watch Naka on this, just like his chess. And seldom watch the Gotham cunt anyway.
Ha the bit about Bobby. Imagine the shitstorm now if Magnus went nuts and started spouting shit. Fanboys and those wanting him cancelled would be going crazy.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

Very late and a tenner heading to the Cats Protection League. Didn't think Magnus would actually vacate the title but his greatness is secured: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/ ... le-in-2023Carlos J wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 3:44 pmFed up playing and beating his generation and wants to play the best of the next and Firouzja is:

Damn Naka not beting Ding in the final game. It could have been him now playing.
