Being a better person is more important than being a GOAT of Chess.
Magnus Carlsen is showing disrespect for his fellow chess players. What is the point of being a great player if you are a less than great person?
No one is above the game.
Magnus is beyond chess at this point.
Why don't you report the news from Magnus's perspective as well instead of being one sided. He wants to participate in Freestyle Chess Events and FIDE wants to control it's players and force them not to do that in fear of competition. That is simply the case and that is wrong!
FIDE should accept reality and stop going after the greatest chess champion because he wouldn't bow down to them and their restrictions. Anand should know better than to be a shill for that federation. He should stick up for his fellow players or he should keep quiet and not get involved. They are going after Magnus because they want to be petty and Anand should realize that.
Please report the facts and not just the narrative you want to push through.
EITHER U DIE HERO OR U LIVE LONG ENOUGH 2 B A VILLIAN,,,,,,
This is just repeating the view of FIDE. Also FIDE is not the chess game itself, no matter how much they try to make it look like that. Carlsen has a problem with FIDE, he thinks he is bigger than FIDE, and not bigger than chess.
He wants to promote freestyle
why is he sh*t talking about classical chess all of a sudden... He is an attention wh*re, that's for sure, he was losing attention, now he is jealous of Gukesh
Common on man, you are reporting only half truth. Magnus later said that he knew the rules were broken but the punishment of not pairing for next match was were he was shocked. You are only telling half the story. For not wearing Jeans how can one get such a punishment, even Fabi was with Magnus. And everybody knows the arbiters have no common sense.
Vantika Agarwal match was also decided by arbiter saying FIDE rules are rules. Now for that where do you stand ? Rules are rules even though arbiter made the mistake. Your reporting doesn't make any sense. Very Biased reporting.
It seems like this YT channel has an agenda against Magnus. I mean scroll their chess related videos and they're doing an anti-Magnus campaign.
And FIDE especially it's CEO Suvotsky is full trying to rally the Indians against Magnus.
Magnus Carlsen is a disgrace to the game of chess. First he ran away from classical chess for the fear of losing. He then criticized that format. Then he ran away from rapid as he was not doing well. Then he used expletives. Then he personally attacked others. Then he fixed the match with nepo. We need good human beings not toxic people as role models. Fide president made a grave mistake by allowing him to play in blitz. No player is bigger than the game.
He didn't ran away in fear of losing, he was bored of winning again..

@@percyweasley9301 Might be true but by running away he also killed any chances of losing a world championship match. Its both out of fear of winning and out of fear of losing as that will put a stain on his unbeatable legacy.
@@Chingbong1 So basically you're wanted to see him lose 😂?
Why should he keep playing that format if he doesn't enjoy it anymore?
Was he supposed to play the same Nepo again that he comfortably destroyed previously?
The big question is: Why did Carlsen NOT WORE JEANS during his wedding? I mean people are interested on the wedding not the jeans right?
These "Respect the Rules" group are the worst - FIDE has been notorious in having rules which are unfair - When the rule is as non nonsensical as this it really must be challenged - Wearing Jeans has absolutely nothing to do with Chess - its a classic example of going above and beyond to make pointless rules . It should be appreciated that someone like Magnus the GOAT of chess brought this issue to the limelight at a huge sacrifice - Kudos to him - If it was anyone else this issue would not have gotten the attention it deserves
Well said by someone FIDE is not above chess....FIDE exists because of chess and need to change rules to improve the game not to harass players
This is very biased towards Magnus, its because of people like you he has the confidence to do just anything. In a perfect world you will admit both Magnus and FIDE are doing somethings wrong and somethings right.
I could not believe Magnus’s comment. I thought that it was in bad taste, not what I associated with Magnus.
I am being diplomatic here.
Someone I know asked Vishy about this, and he did not say anything bad other than saying that rules had to be equally applied to everyone and also that the splitting of the blitz Workd championship was not done by him or his knowledge. It should have been decided by Armageddon.
Anand was classy here and Magnus attacked him personally, unnecessarily, an Indian legend, in spite of millions of Indians being very nice to Magnus and liking him.
I thought this was literally last year issue and has been resolved? Why suddenly come out again
Carlsen sucks
Sue him until his jeans drop. Who he think he is start criticising anybody at will. No respect
Magnus is an honest guy with little regard for impressing people; I also feel that vishy should have acted better and allowed magnus to continue that particular day, especially after magnus paid the fine and promised to arrive in proper attire from next day. If vishy can't intervene to protect such a great player and ambassador of the game, then he obviously failed at his job.
Bruh at least show or tell us the comment Magnus made. Had to watch the whole video without knowing what he said. ffs wasting the viewers time.
he was right though
Magnus following path of Fischer. Ifykyk 💀
No he is not as great as Fischer.
He is just an egoistic person
I think Fischer is above Magnus and then Morphy is above Fischer. There are levels of natural chess understanding and calculation Morphy reached for his own time that we take for granted easily because of modern engines and theory development.
@Sigma01350How tf is Fischer better? One title defense only that's not enough unless you're a certified D-rider
No way. Magnus can arguably be better than all of them and Tal is better than Fischer and Morphy.
Magnus is might be greatest player of all time but he is definitely not the good human being... He is arrogant
I don't understand why people are making it so big.... Magnus was respectful of Anand even while saying it.... But what he said isn't false.... Anand is deputy in FIDE.... It's a high position where he should have people management skills, not just technical skills.... He is at a position where he can order stay or override ... It's one of leader position, not follower position....Anand can't givw rulebook reason n just follow it to T..... magnus is right.... Magnus also said Anand is a good person but not a right fit for the job... It wasn't a personal attack.... Just an honest opinion..... Why are we so blind in our bias towards Anand that we can't see reason or understand anothers point of view...
People here in India are emotional and this outlet is definitely trying to rally the emotion Indian mob against Magnus.
stop this pouring fuel on fire. what nonsense dramatic script of yours. Gary also fought against fide. Everyone like indians are not sheep it takes guts to stand against. jeans was merely another thorny nuisance from fide. hegemony must not be tolerated and destroyed. If not for you people media pressuring vishy not to play for draw but go for sharp lines risking more he got defeated against carlsen. you see how magnus drew all 12 games with caruana and karjakin. only because of you people vishy lost. this was great insult to vishy not some jeans talk.
Vishy should wear Jeans 😂 from now onwards 😂
But why has the FIDE President come into the picture on this crucial argument so late? If there were written documents on the particular dress code rules then how come one individual player argued and violated this rule at a World Chess Tournament and how come FIDE bowed down and got submitted to a particular player, so FIDE has already become obsessive and personal by submitting to an individual because he is Magnus?😶😶😶
Magnus Carlson is no.1 chess player but character is worst. Thats why Gukesh choose vishy sir as his role model as a person and the Chess player. But carlson is only chessodel, not an a person. He calls vishy sir, but only carlson no mr nor sir
Magnus was absolutely right. As much as I admire Vishy, he failed to rise to the occasion and fulfill the responsibilities of his role. Magnus should never have been suspended for a round, and Vishy, as Vice President, should have intervened to prevent such a harsh ruling. In the absence of the President, it was Vishy's duty to step up, but he proved unable to do so.
When you hold a position of power, decisiveness and assertiveness are non-negotiable. Vishy, however, faltered. I understand that he tends to avoid conflict, but by accepting a leadership role, he committed to making tough decisions when necessary. It’s time for him to step up and fully embrace the responsibilities of his position.
Lol nobody cares what you down there think. These archaic rules need to ho away. Kudos to Magnus for calling BS on it.
