Magnus wins game 2 with black practically guaranteeing he retains the title unless he blunders badly.

Magnus converts his advantage and wins the first game of rapid with the white pieces.

Interesting position in the first game of rapid... I like white's position but I dont know if there is time to give it enough thought to convert the position.

The rest day is necessary if you want good games imo... people dont realize just how much high level chess takes out of you.

Thats right... I had forgotten the format was first to 6 wins.. that does change a lot

Yeah i agree computers have changed top level chess completely. This is evident in the WCC matches ending in 12 draws. I think it possible chess needs to evolve again. We have been playing it in its current form for 400ish years now.... its not unreasonable to think that we have mostly figured...

Yeah last night was as much his fault as McFatty... however lots of the other ones are on McFatty

Spoke too soon, they agreed to a draw on to the tie breaks

Based on my B class analysis I think black has a bit of an edge but its not some huge edge I dont think. White's pawns/pieces are tied up a bit but I dont see how black can make real progress on the queen side.

Last standard time control game of the match. I hope Caruana puts Magnus to the test even if it means losing the match... I suspect however we will get another draw and the match will be determined in tiebreaks

I have been playing for the most of this year. This game is definitely better/more fun imo if you play with at least 1 other person. As for redeeming value... ymmv. I think the game has enormous potential if they can sort out the technical issues the game still has. The game is meant to be...

Bruh... even beyond the fact that its Jozu, there has NEVER been a gem of knowledge let loose in the football thread

Damn... today's game. What a blunder Kd4 was for Magnus. I thought for sure he had a win in that position.

Interesting game today.... I think Magnus has winning chances despite bishops of opposite colors but I suspect we are headed towards a draw again

Ended in a draw as I suspected it would. h3 seemed to let the air out of white's position just enough

Yeah h3 was a head scratcher for sure.... I think this ends up being a draw now from the given position due to opposite color bishops.

That is the way Carlsen has played since he got older. He plays lots of safe openings with white. He doesn't take many chances, his strategy is to grind people down. Eventually they make a mistake and he capitalizes.

I think in classical time controls Magnus an Fabiano are evenly matched. I think most commentators think Magnus retains the title due to the blitz timebreakers. Magnus is a beast in blitz and Fabiano not so much

He must think you are Chaos

I wonder if some day Bell will realize he will NEVER make up the 14m that he lost by not playing this year. Somehow I doubt it

Damn that sucks bro

The reffing has been worse than normal this year for sure. But enjoy the W, 9 - 1 is 9 - 1. You have essentially won the West now. Its just a matter of hoping the Saints lose again to give you a shot at the #1 seed. Most teams aren't going to come in and be able to run on your defense like we did.

GG Rams

Here we go.... probable last play of the game unless something silly happens

Eh... we still have to score. That looks like grounding and then off setting personal fouls for the idiocy on the sidelines Wow... I didn't see a receiver... that is a BS call

Look ball game... the bs calls didn't matter. I am SHOCKED... the better team won

Daez I say this with all love possible... but holy fuck you are worse than Seahawk fans after we lost that SB to the Steelers... holy fuck

Star Trek:TNG pinball machine is so much better than this one

Its a fun game for sure and has lots of potential. With the med/drinking/eating animations going in I hope they now focus on 2 or 3 new maps or I may not even play this wipe. I am tired of the current map pool. We need more.

Hopefully there is a play base left after taking an extra month and a half to wipe.

Of the ones listed I think Galaga is the one I still will pump quarters in today. Though if I could find a vector graphics Star Wars I would spend infinite money in that bitch too

I saw this all day yesterday and i have some questions. Why is this a fucking story now 3 or 4 years after the fact. And why is this surprising in the least?

WOW Packers... wow

Best I have seen them play in multiple years

This. When I was a kid the starter was expected to go 7 or 8 even if he was over 100 pc in the 5th. None of this middle relief, set up guy shit.

This is the NFL thread... if it wasn't full of hyperbole and shit talking wtf are we doing?

Dude Im an Ms fan.... hate is the only thing I can consistently hold onto

life long Dodgers fan checking in. I am a 3 team faggot myself. Mariners and whoever is playing Boston/NY

All 3... but really what is he supposed to say? He is paid by the NFL to say shit like that
