    it was an in person, filmed match no-ones been able to broach a reasonable theory about despite like months? of Magnus supporters malding over it

    fame and prestige ruins peoples brains, a mf who was reasonable and respectful in the past shouldnt be expected to remain so after entering the limelight.

        It's the only really plausible theory that doesn't conflict with things like broadcast delays and other anti-cheating measures, but its also debatable as to what degree of cheating it is.

        Though it would probably still be against the rules cause theres a blanket rule you can't take actions that bring the game of chess into disrepute, which exploiting other players leaked personal preparations would definitely fall under.

            We need a Chess 2, I vote for Boxing Chess. Lets see how well you can memorize movesets when you also have to hit the gym and avoid getting hit in the face.

        i dont understand how that would even not be a case of being outplayed. "oh no, my opponent is countering my moves!" doesn't change strategies or modify my plan in any way

        and all these dudes memorise move-sets its absurd for that to only count when your opponent uses the one youve studied
