Grischuk is SHOCKED After Vidit's ROOK SACRIFICE!

#chess #relevant #specific

[alandoan]

Random thought: Grischuk reminded me of House from House MD

[OG_CK]

Grishuk was able to hold into a dead draw position so poor play by vidit

[nicbentulan]

Why isn't Vidit the biggest reason India would want classical 9LX?

---

They should have tata steel 9LX, tata steel india 9LX, AICF 9LX, etc

In fact tata steel 9LX makes more sense than tata steel chess because single round robins in chess randomly assign colours when white has a clear human advantage. In 9LX, the advantage (so far?) is only in computers.

Updates:

- 2023Nov - Won Grand Swiss!
- 2024Jan - India No1 !
- 2024Feb - Gukesh's cool, but Vidit isn't playing probably for the same reason Wesley & Nepo aren't: Magnus is a coward. Lol.
- 2024Apr - Beat, as black, Hikaru who was 2nd at Grand Swiss because Magnus told Alexey Sarana to throw after Alexey beat Wesley & blocked Hans. AND THEN AGAIN AS WHITE. LOL.

Vidit beat Sergey Karjakin to get in the 2019 WFRCC quarter-finals. But then...

Wesley So & Fabi expectedly do better in classical than in rapid for both 9LX & chess. Now, I'm not familiar with Vidit but

- Wesley So does 30% better.
- Fabi does 40% better.
- VIDIT DOES 300% BETTER.

LIKE 50% CLASSICAL SCORE BUT 12.5% RAPID SCORE.

Vidit in 9LX
- is the top Indian classical player
- is the worst rapid player among the top 9 of the 2019 WFRCC.
- in classical ties for 2nd place w/ Fabi & Nepo behind Wesley So.

When is Tata Steel Classical Chess960 ? It should be a knockout where Vidit is seeded into the quarter-finals. It can be 60min, not 120min.

In the 2019 WFRCC, wesley so beat magnus in 3x classical in a row!

Question : When was the last time this happened in chess that someone lost 3x classical in a row in the finals of a FIDE or PCA WCC (or finals of knockouts candidates or semi-finals of a knockout WCC) ?

Answer : Vishy Anand beat Alexei Shirov in 2000.

2 whole decades Vishy's record stood - broken only in a variant!

Pablo Mercado: So what is your advice to the Filipino chess players?

Uncle Bobby Fischer: Filipino - My advice is to give up chess and take up Fischer Random.
