Podcasts with Fabi and Aronian are coming later this month. Subscribe! My Twitch for chess streams: twitch.tv/gregmustreader My Twitter: twitter.com/mustreader Nepo's Twitter: twitter.com/lachesisq My previous podcast with Nepo (in Russian with Eng subtitles): th-cam.com/video/_8rBWqaImPE/w-d-xo.html
I watched the Russian language interview as well with Nepo, and I do suggest giving that a watch if you enjoyed this English interview. Myself, as a native English and Chinese speaker, even via subtitles, I very much appreciated seeing the sort of wit and literary/philosophical allusion that (to me) generally feels more natural in the Russian tongue than in English. It was a very insightful and fun interview. N.B. Your mileage may vary: I believe because Chinese is also my native tongue, I am able to appreciate a dimensionality of Russian language discourse (even with English subtitles 😂) that often are lost in translation to English. Many Chinese academics enjoy reading the Russian Classics, and I believe besides obvious Russian influence on modern Chinese discourse, it’s because there is some inherent socio-linguistic compatibility between Russian and Chinese philosophical expression - surprisingly despite these two cultures have unique roots and separate evolutions, there are common themes on (to borrow the English borrowing of Russian) realpolitik, human nature, camaraderie and love, understatement, and stoicism. All this is to say: as a citizen of the United States, I am often surprised at how inept my own state department (all seasoned diplomats to be sure, the best of the best-intentioned and best-capable in the US) is at interpreting and understanding Russian thought (and for that matter Chinese thought). So, I do wonder whether it is just me, or (1) whether other English native speakers can experience the same dimensions from Russian language interviews as I purport to be able to, and (2) the same question but for non-Anglosphere English speakers who also speak a different native language can also experience. N.B.2. All the above is moot, as I would not have found Mustreader’s channel if not for this English interview 😂 Now I am subscribed to both the English and Russian channels. Please keep the interviews coming!
@@jimbojet A fascinating message. I am a Russian native speaker majoring in Chinese, this sounds like a promising thesis subject! My favorite thing is to look for Russian equivalents for the chengyus (usually, there aren't any.. but doesn't hurt to look!). Btw Mustreader's also learning Chinese, 我希望他能尽快通过HSK6 哈哈 P.S. just a small correction, Realpolitik comes from German, not Russian.
@@ineluctablemodalityre: realpolitik omg I’ve been incorrectly claiming that for years, thank you 😅 And thank you for all the knowledge you’ve shared above. That is indeed fascinating, I hope you update this thread someday with your findings. Personally, I have only begun to study various chengyu and tangshi, so I don’t have any rigorous backing for my belief, it’s more of an intuition at this point. I will agree that there are mostly no Chinese equivalents for Russian expression which is actually what makes Russian literature so novel and delighting for me - I only claim without much basis that there’s some cultural element outside of my Americanness (that I believe is due to my Chineseness) that makes said literature resonate with me on a deeper level. I will work hard myself to make more concrete and rigorous my thesis here 🙂 Also, wow, re: your perfect Chinese writing/grammar example: even as a native speaker, I had to study rigorously to acquire Chinese writing (I’m not sure what HSK I am but I’m probably still only around 1500 characters) and even now I make a lot of grammatical errors, so I could never comprehend how folks who don’t grow up speaking Chinese are able to learn it. I am not only impressed but inspired by your progress, and you’ve actually induced me to begin learning Russian today. Maybe someday I can watch Mustreader’s videos without subtitles 😂
@@jimbojet Glad I've made you learn something! Alright, when our Chinese and Russian respective levels will reach C2, I'll buy you a 青岛 ;) As far as my grammar is concerned, although I am thankful for your kind words, I must admit that before posting a comment I often obsessively check my grammar in order to polish my sentence (don't want to 丢脸 I guess). So in real life my grammar is far from perfect, but I'm working on it :) Удачи, друг! 祝你好运!
Me as well. I used to be a blogger and host of podcast on other topics, but the chess boom made it possible for me to return to chess and to focus on creating content in this area, which really makes me happy
I think hearing the way current chess players talk about different things makes you know the points of similarity and difference between you and them, which makes you know that reaching their level is possible, but at the same time it is not easy at all, and this is very motivating.
I agree, though not 100%. Reaching the level of the top guys is virtually impossible unless you start working on chess seriously from childhood (because the speed of synapse formation in the brain slows down with age), and also unless you have some talent. But with enough dedication and time (and good coaching) it's probably possible for most people to reach at least the Master level. At least I hope so :)
27:48 Disagreed. Well for the timing, I must say that they "announced(officially)" it quite late. But the planning was well going on from October(Fabi in CSQ said he knew about it since October) or even before. Now, as for the tournament happening to qualify Indians for the candidates, remember the organizers had sent invitations to Anish and Wesley both(Anish himself confirmed that he received the invitation). But it was unfortunate that they REFUSED to play in the tournament. Both Anish and Wesley then had the chance to qualify for the candidates, through Circuit and Rating spots respectively. Moreover, Parham who joined for the tournament also had the rating spot chance for him(at that time) and not just Indian prodigies. The tournament rating avg was also above 2700 unlike Alireza's. These are facts and not just statements which is purely based on one's logic. Ian being a world class player and 2 times world championship challenger should make an informed statement.
The tournament was frankly HIGHLY WEIRD because of the timings, but the tournament was 100% LEGIT. Also in the chennai grandmasters, Gukesh vs Predke Move 33 Was 100% SUS AF. At the same time Dubov vs Nepo game was canceled but i am surprised How that game wasn't 😂😂😂
@@Morphysince94 Nah bro, I must say that your comments are absolutely wrong, still I took inspiration from your comments and your facts. Now, I have changed my stance on Chennai GM. Not only move 33 in the game between Gukesh and Predke was SUS, the whole game is SUS(they must have pre planned all the moves)😂😂😂. I also think the whole tournament was sus, everyone(including players like Levon, Parham, Sugirov, Hari, Arjun etc) were told about their moves before starting their games(at least games against Gukesh)😂😂. And why only that? All the tournaments in which Gukesh performs well, like Tata right now(Gukesh finishing 2nd might be pre planned so that nobody suspects Gukesh). Gukesh becoming youngest ever to reach 2750 was pre planned.Can we both agree on these points?😂😂😂😂 What say Morphysince94? I have even learnt placing laughing emojis makes your points more '"SENSEFUL" and depicts "SERIOUSNESS"🤣🤣. I really hope you consider these things in your next comments. Have a good day!
Now it sounds out of spite since he lost haha. I doubt anyone cared that much except the few who didn't want ding to qualify since he would take their spot. Everyone knows Ding just making the games since he can't leave China, he doesn't need rating. And if we talking about federations and nations players, I don't think Russia can talk too much. They would do the same and have done worse. Chinese state doesn't even support ding unlike Russian federation back in The day when Russia was on top in chess world.
@30:24 Nepo continues repeating everywhere that Chennai Grandmasters and Wijk aan Zee awarded same points to the winner but it's 21 points vs 27 points which makes a big difference when only 5 of your best circuit scores get counted. Grand Swiss winner also got lesser circuit points than the winner of Wij aan Zee last year despite the former being an order of magnitude tougher to win but Nepo has to nitpick and lie continuously just to prove his point.
I had no idea about the alireza thing. I guess FIDE's idea is that if people are "pumping" their rating they will get walled when they meet people at that rating not being pumped there. The concern is that even if this happens you've already sullied the sportsmanship of the game itself in abstract and that matters to the people playing.
Cheers! I like India, I especially liked the Ladakh region which I visited several years ago. I'm going to come to your country again to record some podcasts with the Indian young stars
I didn't think about how the other GM's must feel when they know the players who cheat against them won't cheat against Magnus or Nakamura in the online tournaments. Interesting.
I dont agree, attacking style might bring in loads of points against 2700 Nepo shines with his technical ability - as Magnus said, Ian is probably the best in the world in queen+pawn endgames.
I dont get the point “Tata Steels Master got the same fide points as Chennai chess masters”. Thats incorrect lol. Anish got over 27 points for winning Tata Steel but Gukesh got around 21 points for winning Chennai Master
At 12:21he notes that some of the apparent online cheaters never blunder. So instead of looking at the average rating, we should look at the worst 3 moves of a player during a game.
I don't think it's exclusive to Russian players, but it does seem there is some paranoia in talking about one's strengths/weaknesses at the top levels whereas it's fine to talk about what you think someone else's strengths/weaknesses are. It definitely seems like a competitive measure though and something I seem to notice more among Russian players.
ok...my mistake....thanks for the reply and i am not suggesting the wall is not appealing just that it does not enhance the interview...@@MustreaderChess
nepo is so wrong and salty about ding. ding was seen as the unfortunate victim from other top players. ding was qualified unlike alireza who was not qualified. because of rules that were not updated with the travel restrictions, ding would have become a victim. FIDE obviously recognized that their rules needed to be changed, but didn't know how to change them spontaneously, but recognized that ding can do that which is why FIDE didn't say anything. On the other hand, Alireza was not qualified and was trying to do a cheap trick to drag someone who legit qualified down to replace them. alireza chose to be inactive and waited until the last moment to steal the spot. that is completely opposite of ding's situation.
i think Nepo is the most talented chess player in the world....but....something causes him to go astray....is he moving to fast when he doesnt need too?....or does he lose concentration...i dont know,..but again something causes him to blunder more than others...
Complaining about Ding after losing to him is just extremely pathetic. In the first place, Candidates changed the rules for qualifications for no good reason in the specific cycle he's referencing. Previously, players have always qualified through their ratings. Ding couldn't participate in tournaments due to visa issues and the ridiculous changes to the rules that happened during COVID. How is that his fault? Racists who say, "unlucky" dont' participate are just salty a Chinese chess player won fair and square against their representatives.
There’s obviously a lot of cheating but there is also a major problem with the rating system. There are tons of incredible players out there who have only played chess online. The pandemic only created even more great players who have never played OTB tournaments. It’s this new age of online chess which created so many new strong players. I think the rating system is so broken now because of this that many GM’s believe there is more cheating going on than there actually is.
U cant be good if u never play otb to gain experiences thats the fact,just liek esport a lot of people in esport play so good online but turned out theya re cheating and got expose on lan
@@dereknichols4376 I don’t know anymore. That may have been true 10-20 years ago but nowadays with the strength of these chess computers, players are getting better and better. There are a lot of players out there who have only ever played online who are great players. That’s why I think there is a huge problem with the rating system. Maybe you could force these players to play a certain number of OTB tournaments or something. I don’t know but there is a big problem both with cheating and with the rating system in my opinion.
@@KatatopianosU said it urself,the engine and computer getting better so its easier to cheat nowadays,that's why so many people paranoid about chess online u can even cheat in ultra/hyper bullet nowadays more advance technology=more easy to cheat
Kramnik is coming from a good place, but the problem is that his actual statistical analysis is faulty. So he doesn't demonstrate how you can use statistics to catch cheaters.
tell me who can?? everyone does it upto a degree then the best of them cower in court and let Niemann come back in after claiming to have proof of 200 games of cheating 😂😂😂. And the explanation is even more "excuses"
Great interview! But the background mosaic, the floral pattern of the chair and the Greg's shirt along with Ian's Basquiat tee is painful to watch. The colors match well but the patterns are just not compatible!
I have a channel in Russian with 250k subscribers, so it was easier for me because of that. The Russian translations of all recent podcasts have been published over there.
I think people should accept that everyone is decent, that people move their play closer to engines with every single day. I'm 1300 blitz and in tournaments I sometimes lose to 500-700 elo players, which is over 600 elo difference, and basically should never happen. but the same way a 600 elo player can play as 1300 elo player in 10-15% of his games, it can happen on higher levels where a CM or IM can play like a good GM for a few games when they're into flow state and feel the game and everything goes their way.
But that should be a rare thing the matches should be more consistently competitive if the MMR wasn't so obviously undermined. But this is not the case and that's why it seems like ratings are meaningless online. And this is not just an online chess thingn this has been an online Esports gaming thing for almost 30 years. A lot of the pro players think people only cheat and have incentives to cheat at the higher levels and in money events, but the truth is most people cheat simply because they can. And even more detrimental to the general Playerbase than engine use, is the use of multiple accounts. Smurfing and farming players is something that only happens online.
He is. Having spoken with him in Russian quite a lot, I can confirm that in Russian his broader vocabulary and vast knowledge of cultural references makes him an even more well-rounded conversation partner
Nepo always accuses others of cheating. In the 2015 World Cup, Nepo appealed Nakamura’s win in their armageddon game claiming that Naka had castled with both hands and should therefore be forfeited. In his world championship match with Magnus, after Magnus adjusted a piece without saying “j’adoube” (because Nepo was absent from the board and there was no one present to hear it anyway) Nepo complained after the game that the arbiter didn’t intervene to make Magnus move the adjusted piece. Now after losing to Ding, Nepo complains that Ding shouldn’t have qualified for the rating spot in the Candidates despite his 2800+ rating. There’s never enough justice for Nepo. If only all his opponents could be retroactively forfeited, Nepo might have a chance of winning fair and square.
Honestly though is he wrong on the rules in any of those situations? Nakamura and Magnus are notorious for that. I still remember when Nakamura made the illegal touch move on Levin aronian in 2016 I think. I don't know the games you are talking about I'd have to see them to judge intentions for myself but in the case of Nakamura 2016 he literally moved his Queen to a square moved it back and then decided to move another piece.
@@himanshu4938if rules were well designed they should allow the strongest players to qualify and save some room for those on the fence. In that case Ding deserves a spot simply for being too strong. It was unfortunate that it had to come down to technicality of the rules but also fortunate that the rules allowed the strongest player to still participate if they were willing to (him playing a shit ton of games ahead of candidates was an indication of him wanting to qualify). That is simply by design.
@@himanshu4938 he was considered one of the favorites to win candidates. He did not care for rating because nobody knew there was even a spot for highest rated player until the karjakin ban. He had pandemic related travel restriction and visa issues that other gms like reza did not have. So he opted to try to qualify in literally the only way possible. If you are biased and want a 2800 player to have zero chance enter a tournament that he obviously belong to, just say so. Don’t hide behind excuses and fake logic.
He seems salty and unable to accept the reality that in blitz FIDE Masters can beat him. His recent OTB blitz results should have taught him that it’s not an online cheating thing it’s just reality.
I think you got it backwards it's more suspicious when a player's OTB and online performances don't even remotely correlate with each other in Blitz. What you are alluding to is not necessarily engine use , the problem is new players who are underrated which is similar to people using multiple accounts and constantly making new ones online. And that's the sort of thing that affects the general player base more than it does the top titled players when it comes to online play but which is important because it's those players who bring the the viewership and therefore money in.
the most gloryos think i can think of its doing a vis sho opaning and a king s walk from top to bottom or bottom to top and draw vs you the story its gonna be how we make it be you know. but been honest its about the fun of been able to play a line that s also good and make some sens vs a human that can keep the level so i can learn more while playing a longer game or diferent variation of the same lines until i can do them alone cause fully computare lines are to insine brosky its not fun to play jsut stoclfish all day to get better.
No doubt that fide System does not make any one happy, lets say No 1 ( Magnus) and nor the best ten players of the list. What a shame that in every sport it is controled by politicians that just were mediocres in their own sport. Nepo no doubt your and amazing player, congratulatios and best regards!
@@imeprezime1285I think that's what's going to happen eventually if they don't make some drastic changes. I play on lichess because I refuse to play on a site that publicly condones and makes exceptions for smurfing. That's literally encouraging cheating. But even on lichess this past year the player base has dwindled and ratings are feeling even more meaningless.
2nd: 3 questions Q1 - Why are chess players more dishonest & discriminatory than 9LX players? - Eg There hasn't been a cheating scandal in a classical 9LX tournament. - Eg In particular, a world champion never cheated a Jewish woman. Q2 - Do you side with Wesley, Bobby, Hans (axis of evil) over Magnus, Garry, Hikaru (allies of evil) ? Q3 - Which of the ff facts do you deny? H1 - Hikaru cheated Levon. G1 - Garry cheated Judit. G2 - Garry cheated Vishy. G3 - Garry cheated Daniel Edelman. G4 - Garry cheated in 1999 MSN game. G5 - Garry cheated Alexei Shirov. M1 - Magnus cheated Anish. M2 - Magnus cheated Sergey. M3 - Magnus cheated Alireza. M4 - Magnus cheated Wesley M5 - Magnus cheated Danya TWICE. M6 - Magnus cheated Nepo. M7 - Magnus cheated Alexandra Kosteniuk. WBH1 - Bobby cheated no one. WBH2 - Hans cheated no one (as an adult). WBH3 - Wesley cheated no one. WBH4 - Hans supposedly cheated 100x, but Magnus definitely did as described in kBOrtdiGDrM or VInHv6ZS818 - cbarr81 asked: Do you ever log onto as an anonymous player, and just crush people for fun? - Magnus admitted in an AMA: Once in a while I’ve used some of my friends accounts and won a couple of games… or a lot… Source: p1w4Rr-jr --- Good guys vs Bad guys Note: they correspond. Eg Wesley Vs Magnus Bobby Vs Garry Hans Vs Hikaru Christopher Yoo Vs Andrew Tang Dina Vs Andrea etc - Axis of Evil (Good guys?) wesley so, hans niemann, bobby fischer, sergey karjakin, vlad kramnik (still! See below), ian nepomniachtchi, alireza firouzja, nodirbek abdusattorov, andrii baryshpolets, vishy anand, jan-krzysztof duda, chesscube, Sergey's hypothetical pure 9LX parallel, christopher yoo, leela, ferdinand marcos sr, ben johnson of perpetual chess podcast(?), elon musk(?), gata kamsky, donald trump, andrew tate - Allies of Evil (Bad guys?) magnus carlsen, hikaru nakamura, garry kasparov, daniil dubov, veselin topalov, liren ding, aryan tari, vincent keymer, arkady dvorkovich, peter heine nielsen, richárd rapport, PCA, FIDE, andrew tang, stockfish, prospero pichay jr, lex fridman(?), mark zuckerberg(?), alejandro ramirez, george bush (both sr & jr - sr for indicting Bobby & jr for arresting Bobby), piers morgan - axis of evil (female) (good girls?) tingjie lei (or paikidze), janelle frayna, dina belenkaya, lotis key, sara khadem (or carissa yip), robbi jade lew - allies of evil (female) (bad girls?) wenjun ju, bella khotenashvili, andrea botez, leny so, atousa pourkashiyan - nakamura, nemo zhou --- Note on axis Vs allies: They're not just good Vs bad. They're also axis of evil Vs allies of evil. They're both evil but in different ways. I'm saying that even though the axis of evil is evil, they're still more so the good guys compared to the allies of evil - whom I consider the bad guys. We may disagree on who the good Vs bad guys are, but I think we'll agree on axis Vs allies. Axis of Evil is like tax collector, the more conventional, obvious or well-known evil. Allies of Evil is like Pharisee, the unconventional or inconspicuous evil. More info: ARNSi0cPu60
Note re Vlad: I view Vlad's accusation of Hans similar to Bobby's accusation of Anatoly Karpov & Wesley's wanting Sergey to not be in the 2022 candidates - it's a good guy fighting another good guy. The real bad guy in each respective case is Magnus, Garry & Magnus again. Tsk tsk. It's sad Vlad/Bobby/Wesley didn't realise that Magnus/Garry/Magnus is far more evil than Hans/Anatoly/Hans. Wait, I think Bobby did. Not sure. I think Bobby hated Garry more than Anatoly, but maybe not by much more. More info: eXHvXpOnAOE --- More notes: 1 Wesley So, Bobby Fischer & Hans Niemann have NEVER done ANY of the ff evil things in chess as adults. Magnus Carlsen, Garry Kasparov & Hikaru Nakamura HAVE done EACH of the ff evil things in chess as adults. Evil: -Cheating -Baseless accusations -Discrimination (eg by cheating or baselessly accusing people mainly of a certain ethnicity or citizenship) -Treason Re treason: - Magnus betrayed fellow Scandinavian-descent Hans by baselessly accusing Hans - Hikaru betrayed fellow American Hans by baselessly accusing Hans. - Garry betrayed 2 fellow Jews Judit Polgar & Alexei Shirov by cheating them. 2 9LX players are more honest than chess players. - Wesley So, not Fabiano Caruana, is the 3rd highest peak fide classical rated honest player. Fabi is the highest. - Top 3 are Fabi, Levon, Wesley - all American. Also the 0th & 1st classical WFRCCs (resp Bobby & Wesley) are American. - Also, Hans & Wesley consider Bobby greatest while Magnus & Hikaru consider Garry greatest. What a coincidence! God bless America! SayNoTo2900! 3 1999Mar25 on Philippine radio: (Bobby Fischer would've been 2900.) My rating would be at least 2900, which is a lot higher than Kasparov’s. But in the end, that’s not important Pablo because the point is, I got my rating honestly. All my games are real. I’ve never even pre-arranged a draw. They have nothing on me. That’s why they hate me so damn much - because I’m clean. Kasparov got his fantastic rating by pre-arranging almost all of his games. (...) He’s a crook on a gigantic scale. You know, Eugene Torre could have the highest rating in the world too if he would pre-arrange all his games. - ( Actually, this further convinces me Bobby would like nephew Wesley & hate Magnus because Wesley = Eugene Torre & Magnus = Garry. As described in XNHWbgAsZnA or 2d427ys5FrY ) 4 Wesley So on 2018Jun08: Thank you all for your encouragement and support. I am moving into a new area of my chess development working to win the game instead of taking a draw which I can do easily. With that attitude there will be bad days but that is life. Some players think exchanging a piece and then taking a prearranged draw on move 17 is okay but I don't want to be like them. I fought Fabi as hard as I could and I made a simple miscalculation. I am proud of the choice I made to fight. For everyone's benefit let me be clear that I have never taken a prearranged draw, I never will, and I have never played a bad game to help a friend. My bad games are a result of miscalculation under pressure. There are no free gifts in chess on this level (unless you are from certain countries that everyone knows about). You fight or you die. You have all been great in supporting me. Thank you. Moving on to the next fight. Source: p1w4Rr-Vd P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S.

@@leedavid9244 Please answer the 3 questions. Actually I have a 4th question for you: Poll: Which anime character best suits 1 decade (2013 - 2023) reigning world chess champion Magnus Carlsen? --- Wesley So, Bobby Fischer & Hans Niemann have NEVER done ANY of the ff evil things in chess as adults. Magnus Carlsen, Garry Kasparov & Hikaru Nakamura HAVE done EACH of the ff evil things in chess as adults. Evil : -Cheating -Baseless accusations -Discrimination (eg by cheating or baselessly accusing people mainly of a certain ethnicity or citizenship) -Treason Re treason: - Magnus betrayed fellow Scandinavian-descent Hans by baselessly accusing Hans - Hikaru betrayed fellow American Hans by baselessly accusing Hans. - Garry betrayed 2 fellow Jews Judit Polgar & Alexei Shirov by cheating them. --- Hikaru Nakamura is almost as evil as the Hikaru in Oshi no Ko. Magnus Carlsen is almost as evil as Light Yagami, Alejandro Ramirez & Vidkun Quisling. A Light Yagami from Death Note - who is about as big a sore loser as Magnus Carlsen Vs Hans Niemann or Wesley So. - For Hans in particular, Magnus cheated Alexandra Kosteniuk, Alireza Firouzja, Danya Naroditsky & Ian Nepomniachtchi but then accused Hans of cheating. LOL. Light did something similar. Light is a serial killer. - In this case Magnus' Death Note is Magnus' power over tournament organisers / arbiters / directors. Magnus manipulated ches***m to remove Hans from the 2022 CGC after Magnus quit the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. Magnus manipulated FIDE to lower the time controls in the WFRCC from 60min to 32.5min so that Wesley So will be less favoured to win after Magnus quit the 2023 WCC. HUGE PARALLEL: - FIDE lowers WFRCC time controls from classical 2019 to rapid 2022 to lower AMERICAN Wesley So's odds wanting Magnus / traitor Hikaru to win after Magnus quit 2023 WCC JUST AS - ches***m kicked out AMERICAN Hans Niemann of 2022 CGC wanting to please Magnus after Magnus quit 2022 Sinquefield Cup. COINCIDENCE? oprocyona (2022Oct) : 'Many decisions in tournament chess are made to favor the player that brings in the most sponsorship dollars and views, which is undoubtedly Magnus. There's also no doubt that Magnus generally dislikes americans- he said so on one of the Magnus effect podcast episodes.' See here : Magnus Effect episode 2 - 20 Best Ways to Introduce Yourself Source: ydwn2y zs4zpf B Bandit Keith from Yu-Gi-Oh! - who is a hypocritical cheater for cheating but then accusing Joey of cheating like Magnus who cheated but then accused Hans of cheating. - Actually Bandit Keith is a non-Japanese who cheated a Japanese and then accused a Japanese of cheating. - Magnus is a non-American gentile who cheated Jewish Anish Giri, Jewish Alexandra Kosteniuk, Alireza Firouzja (non-American gentile too, but Alireza was becoming French - the top French at the time was MVL who is Jewish), Jewish Danya Naroditsky & Jewish Ian Nepomniachtchi. Also, Jewish Garry Kasparov cheated FELLOW JEW Judit Polgar (Also, Judit's onee-san Susan is American) & Vishy Anand (non-American gentile, and I have no explanation for this). - Yet Magnus baselessly accused a Jewish American of cheating. Also Garry accused American company IBM of cheating re Deep Blue. C TALENTLESS Nana Hiiragi - because Magnus is TALENTLESS for losing to Wesley So in the world Fischer Random chess championship DESPITE being then 4x reigning world chess champion. (In chess, how good you are is a combination of opening theory & then talent after the opening is done. In chess960, there's no opening theory, so if you lose, then the only reason is talent. This makes Magnus TALENTLESS because h strength is 99.9% opening theory and 0.1% talent.) Based on episode 1: Magnus Carlsen reveals to Wesley So that Magnus is actually Talentless, and that Magnus is killing Wesley So before Wesley So leads the other Talented to become the true Enemies of Chess. As Wesley So loses Wesley So's grip and falls away, Magnus receives a text message claiming Magnus has saved one million people from 9LX. D Kaguya Shinomiya unlike Miyuki Shirogane from Kaguya-sama Kaguya is a 'pampered goldfish' like Magnus, the top classical player. Miyuki 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American' like Beth Harmon, Wesley So, Bobby Fischer & Hans Niemann. (Well Miyuki might be an American resident if not ultimately an American citizen. Also, Miyuki is blond.) Wesley So is the top classical Fischer random chess player, and Bobby Fischer is the creator of Fischer random chess. Kaguya's chess strategy highly relies on opening prep. You can see Kaguya has a huge team of computers and seconds like what the Soviets had before. But Miyuki's chess strategy is largely about thinking on h feet. Bobby Fischer single-handedly ended Soviet domination of world chess championships in 1972. Similarly, Wesley So single-handedly ended Magnus' domination of world chess or Fischer random chess championships in 2019 (Fischer random chess by definition has no computers). Kaguya is greater, but Miyuki is more talented. This is what I was told in 2021 about why Wesley So's chessgames page is the top page in kibitzing : "He has some very ardent fans, mainly from his native Philippines I think. I get the feeling that when countries haven't had a history of producing elite sportsmen, they really gravitate to the ones which they do produce. For example, Salah's Egyptian fanbase is pretty infamous. On its own, it's pretty harmless. There was a period however, where a section of his fanbase tried to mark Carlsen down as Wesley's big enemy, saying that he only rose to the top because he was a 'pampered goldfish' who got invites to elite tournaments early on whereas Wesley had to face the 'barracudas' in open tournaments. Think that's died down though and when goldfish and barracuda are brought up, its more often in ironic fashion." E Long Feng from ATLA/TLOK - gaslights people 'There is no cheating done by Magnus, Garry or Hikaru.' Hans is like Zuko. F Ash Ketchum from Pokémon, world champion - JUST KIDDING. MAGNUS WAS NEVER THE WORLD CHAMPION. Wesley So is the WC. Magnus is a 5x classical WCC, 6x blitz WCC, 4x rapid WCC but a 0x classical WC (& 0x rapid WC). Wesley So is the only (classical) WC in history. (Hikaru is the only rapid WC in history.) Here the joke is the I'm arrogantly defining 'WC' to be 'WFRCC' instead of 'WCC'. But really who would Bobby Fischer consider to be the Ash Ketchum of 2019Nov - 2023Mar : Wesley So, Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura? . . . . . . . . . P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S.

4th: Nepo is the best overall as of 2023Apr30 in an equal combination of -classical chess, -rapid chess, -classical 9LX & -rapid 9LX Being 2nd in -2023 classical WCC (only by rapid) -2022 rapid WFRCC, -2021 classical & rapid WCCs -2019 classical WFRCC score And 14th in 2022 rapid WCC (ahead of Hikaru, Wesley So, Liren) That's right: Nepo AND NOT MAGNUS is the top 2 classical 9LX player behind Wesley So! - This is because Nepo's score is higher than Magnus'. Not just for a weighted average of the classical & rapid portions but even for both the classical & rapid portions individually. Nepo lost only 3x to Wesley So while Magnus lost 4x. - Magnus & Nepo played the same opponents - Wesley So & Fabi. Both beat Fabi. Both lost to Wesley So. Nepo was just unfortunate to face Wesley So 1st. Imagine if the pairings were reversed or they played a double knockout. Now let's take a look at the top1 of each. -2023 classical WCC - Liren never even played 9LX ? ( kTGBSAR-lxE ) -2022 rapid WFRCC - Hikaru is lower in rank than Nepo in both classical chess candidates & classical 9LX and never won a classical 9LX game -2021 classical WCC - Magnus sucks at 9LX and even cheated Nepo here -2022 rapid WCC - Both Magnus & Hikaru suck at classical 9LX -2019 classical WFRCC - Wesley So scored -2 in candidates. -2021 rapid WCC - Nepo beat Nodirbek in 2022 rapid WFRCC via Magnus I am Filipino / Filipina / Philippine, love 9LX and hate chess, but there is no shame in admitting that treating these 4 titles equally Nepo is the best overall. -Au contraire there is actually arrogance rather than shame because Nepo is the top 2 in classical 9LX behind Wesley So and ahead of Magnus. Lol. -And I know Bobby Fischer would value the classical WFRCC far more than all of the rapid WCC, rapid WFRCC & classical WCC combined and thus would consider Wesley So the 'real' world champion for 2019Nov - 2023Mar over Hikaru rapid WFRCC & Magnus classical WCC, rapid WCC, blitz WCC (and MVL blitz WCC & Nodirbek rapid WCC). But Nepo Vs Wesley So in Bobby's opinion? Ummm...well let's say unresolved. Hehehe. After all Wesley So reached 2800, but Nepo is peaking. 2023Aug Update : Oh, there's a 2024 WFRCC. If it's classical, then we might be able to settle Wesley So Vs Nepo. . . . . . . P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S.

Really? You probably know nothing about Nepo. He is the chess player with one of the most outstanding charisma out there. I've known him personally for a couple of years and can guarantee this, also having spoken to many other chess GMs
3rd: Ian Nepomniachtchi rules. Liren Ding sucks. Wesley So rules. Magnus Carlsen sucks. Liren's STUPID LIST of role models : FlNsFKeq-iE A-Veselin Topalov B-Garry Kasparov C-Magnus Carlsen Explanation : A-Veselin Topalov - baselessly accused Jewish Vlad B-Garry Kasparov - treasonously cheated fellow Jewish Europeans Judit & Alexei Shirov, cheated Vishy Anand & 2 Americans MSN & Daniel Edelman and baselessly accused American IBM re Deep Blue C-Magnus Carlsen - cheated Jewish-or-American players Anish Giri, Wesley So, Alexandra Kosteniuk, Sergey Karjakin, Danya Naroditsky TWICE & Ian Nepomniachtchi - baselessly accused Jewish American Hans, Jewish Alisher & American Alice Lee ( source is PgHQdOocI84 ) - Also cheated gentile non-American Alireza but Alireza was becoming French whose top player prior is Jewish MVL. Why wouldn't Nepo like the opposite? A-Vladimir Kramnik B-Bobby Fischer C-Wesley So Explanation : A-Vladimir Kramnik - easily beat Veselin 2006 WCC (1 game was forfeited!) B-Bobby Fischer - would've easily beat Anatoly Karpov 1975 WCC under either rules and then Anatoly drew a million times w/ Garry C-Wesley So - easily beat Magnus 2019 WFRCC 13.5-2.5 including win 3x classical games in a row and is the only player better than Nepo in classical 9LX. --- Aaaaand then 2023Jul chess idols - Wenjun chose Liren while Tingjie chose Vishy Anand & Vlad Kramnik: pbM0wG8wNLg Tingjie Lei rules.

Interview while imprisoned p1w4Rr-1Uk Pablo Mercado: So what is your advice to the Filipino chess players? Uncle Bobby Fischer: My advice is to give up chess and take up Fischer Random. - 2004Oct11, 15 years before nephew Wesley So became the inaugural WFRCC in CLASSICAL time controls.
What'd Bobby Fischer say about Hans, Magnus, Hikaru, Wesley So, Sergey, Alireza, Nepo, Fabi, FIDE? --- Imagine that 2001 interview ( SAWfehKE0iI ) but replace George Bush w/ Magnus, and it's 2022Oct21 at 08:30am GMT+8 (where else?), 6 hrs after 'My lawsuit speaks for itself': --- 8 parts
Part2 Mercado: 'Yeah, that’s what people' had been 'asking' in the US and 'here too in the Philippines. Considering' that Magnus had been and even now still is the WCC, wouldn’t e be able to beat Wesley So once… Fischer: 'What I'm really hoping for now, Pablo', is 'some kind of a' 'scenario where' -FIDE & ches***m 'will be taken over by' Andrii Baryshpolets & Thibault Duplessis -they’ll get rid of all the classical regular chess tournaments, -ban Hikaru Nakamura from twitch, -sanction Garry Kasparov & Magnus Carlsen, who'll admit to pre-arranged games and apologise to Judit Polgar, Viswanathan Anand, IBM, MSN, Alexei Shirov, Daniel Edelman, Alexandra Kosteniuk, Alireza Firouzja, Daniel Naroditsky & Ian Nepomniachtchi. 'I’m hoping for a totally new world.' Mercado: 'Really?' Fischer: Yeah. How many hundreds or thousands of players did Magnus Carlsen cheat while streaming? 'Justifying it with the most ridiculous excuse that' e was drunk. When they were still money tournaments. --- Part3 Fischer: Magnus Carlsen, Garry Kasparov & FIDE are 'based on lies' & 'theft' They cheated & 'robbed' -Alexandra Kosteniuk -Alireza Firouzja -Daniel Naroditsky -Sergey Karjakin -Fabiano Caruana -Ian Nepomniachtchi -Daniel Edelman -Judit Polgar -Viswanathan Anand -Alexei Shirov -Levon Aronian Almost all of the superGMs. Had these rapid tiebreaks instead of classical Fischer random or classical armageddon w/ auction and let Magnus Carlsen & Garry Kasparov cheat. 'Right?' Mercado: 'Oo.' (Tagalog for 'Yes.') Fischer: 'That's the history of' Magnus Carlsen, 'a despicable' player. 'I knew something was rotten in Denmark'. (Hans is of Danish-descent.)
Part4 Mercado: '[Laughing] So, what do you think’s going to happen in the next 24 hours, then?' Fischer: 'Well,' Magnus Carlsen 'is bellowing, 'told what to say, of course by' FIDE, Garry Kasparov and h lawyers. Magnus Carlsen & FIDE 'just will not do what they have to do.' FIDE 'has to say' -"we’re sorry", -"our whole tournament format has been wrong for the last several decades", -"we'll start having classical Fischer random - and we won't force both colours of the same setup", -"we'll sanction Magnus Carlsen & Garry Kasparov for cheating", -'and so on.' Magnus Carlsen 'has to say' -"I’m sorry", -"I've been cheating players for the last decade", -"I'm a TALENTLESS patzer", -"I don't deserve to be the main FIDE WC anymore than Sergey Karjakin, Fabiano Caruana, Ian Nepomniachtchi or Wesley So" -'and so on.' 'You see?' And e’s 'not going to admit that. No.' E’s 'going to say' -“This cheater”, -“This cowardly lawsuit will be dismissed.” 'I expect soon that' Sergey Karjakin will launch a parallel pure Fischer Random federation, where Magnus Carlsen will be 'still, hundreds of feet underneath - heh' - Wesley So & Ian Nepomniachtchi and will be 'saying', “This dastardly chess variant of Bobby Fischer will never take off!” E’ll 'just constantly talk about' “this cheater Hans Niemann”.
Part5 Fischer: Magnus Carlsen & FIDE are 'not going to be reasonable' and 'admit that' they're the bad guys: -2013: Returning to round robin candidates - Remember who won that? - 50 years after my complaint in 1963. You think Wesley So wouldn't do better in a knockout than a round robin? -2016 WCC: Magnus Carlsen beat Sergey Karjakin despite fewer black wins -2018 WCC: Magnus Carlsen couldn't beat Fabiano Caruana - cf my 1975 WCC conditions! -2009-2021: Magnus Carlsen cheated Alexandra Kosteniuk, Alireza Firouzja, Daniel Naroditsky & Ian Nepomniachtchi -2016 Candidates: Hikaru Nakamura cheated Levon Aronian -1994-2000: Garry Kasparov cheated Judit Polgar, Viswanathan Anand & Alexei Shirov -2021 rapid WCC playoff excluding Fabiano Caruana -2022 WFRCC & CGC disgracing my name & variant in favouring Magnus Carlsen & Hikaru Nakamura over Hans Niemann & Wesley So by removing Hans Niemann & making up this undefined term 'slow rapid' and in that they don't yet have a women's WFRCC - Alexandra Kosteniuk could've been inaugural winner -2022 Candidates: Sergey Karjakin They've 'always been the bad' guys - well, except in 2019. "Gens una sumus" 'is just a load of' bull. 'It's just a cover for the' tortious 'nature of the' International Magnus Chess-en Federation. --- Part6 Mercado: 'There are fears, Bobby, that' -Wesley So might not win 2022 WFRCC because of lower time controls and FIDE won't rename as 2022 inaugural rapid WFRCC -Ian Nepomniachtchi might lose 2023 WCC because of rapid despite more black classical wins -Magnus Carlsen will gift a pre-arranged loss to Vincent Keymer for blacklisting Hans Niemann. -Carissa Yip, rumoured to be dating Wesley So, might lose 2023 girls WCC, like Fabiano Caruana in 2021 rapid WCC. -2024 rating spot candidates qualifier might be abused cf Liren Ding. -2023 rapid/blitz WCC will have many pre-arranged draws, an incorrect dress code fines & a personal lounge for a known confessed cheater. 'Do you think' those are 'possible'? Fischer: 'I think' those are 'possible, unfortunately. That’s the big danger': That, Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, ches***m, FIDE, these 'lunatic people, are going to take us all with them'. 'This is just the beginning, Pablo.' 'Everybody’s had enough' s from Magnus Carlsen & FIDE. Mercado: 'You think' Hans Niemann is 'planning something else'? Fischer: 'Yeah.' 'What about' Wesley So & Ian Nepomniachtchi? 'What if they decide to throw in their lot with' Hans Niemann, right? 'What about' -Fabiano Caruana -Sergey Karjakin -Alexandra Kosteniuk -Alireza Firouzja -Daniel Naroditsky -Judit Polgar -Viswanathan Anand -Alexei Shirov -Levon Aronian?
Part7 Fischer: 'It’s time for' Magnus Carlsen 'to eat the s, to humble' hself, 'to withdraw' h minions back to Norway and 'to admit that' e's a cheater, baseless accuser, sore loser & thus hypocrite. 'Otherwise,' Magnus Carlsen 'has to be' found liable & banned. Mercado: 'Mmm-hmm.' Fischer: 'I mean, look what' Magnus Carlsen did to -Alexandra Kosteniuk in 2009 Touched 1 rook but moved another. -Alireza Firouzja in 2019 Muttered causing distraction. -Ian Nepomniachtchi in 2021 Touched a knight but didn't move it. Garry Kasparov did to -Viswanathan Anand in 1995 Slammed a door causing a distraction. -Judit Polgar in 1994 Let go of a knight but moved it somewhere else. -Alexei Shirov in 2000 Denied candidates winner's playing for title. 'Now to me', Magnus Carlsen's & Garry Kasparov's "bullying cheating" 'is worse than' Hans Niemann's supposed online "engine cheating". 'You know why?' Mercado: 'Why?' Fischer: Pareto principle. Anyone can online engine cheat. Almost only world chess champions / top players can bully cheat and get away with it. 'You understand?' --- Part8 Mercado: 'Yes, I do.' Fischer: -'I say death to' Play Magnus, ches***m & FIDE! -I saynoto2900 ! -F Magnus Carlsen! -F Hikaru Nakamura! -F Arkady Dvorkovich! -F Peter Heine Nielsen! -F Daniel Rensch! -F Garry Kasparov! Magnus Carlsen & Garry Kasparov are bullying cheaters. -They pre-arrange games and gaslight reporters. -They're defamatory, tortious, 'criminal, thieving, lying b()ds'. -Magnus Carlsen 'made up the' b()ds theory. 'There’s not a word of truth to it.' -'They are the worst liars and b()ds.' 'Now what goes around comes around. They’re getting it back, finally. Praise God, and' 'hallelujah.

@@MustreaderChess hahah i just saw it and today is tuesday
Thank you guys for doing this in English!
Really makes me wish I understood Russian for the opportunity to hear them speak casually
I watched the Russian language interview as well with Nepo, and I do suggest giving that a watch if you enjoyed this English interview. Myself, as a native English and Chinese speaker, even via subtitles, I very much appreciated seeing the sort of wit and literary/philosophical allusion that (to me) generally feels more natural in the Russian tongue than in English. It was a very insightful and fun interview.
N.B. Your mileage may vary: I believe because Chinese is also my native tongue, I am able to appreciate a dimensionality of Russian language discourse (even with English subtitles 😂) that often are lost in translation to English. Many Chinese academics enjoy reading the Russian Classics, and I believe besides obvious Russian influence on modern Chinese discourse, it’s because there is some inherent socio-linguistic compatibility between Russian and Chinese philosophical expression - surprisingly despite these two cultures have unique roots and separate evolutions, there are common themes on (to borrow the English borrowing of Russian) realpolitik, human nature, camaraderie and love, understatement, and stoicism. All this is to say: as a citizen of the United States, I am often surprised at how inept my own state department (all seasoned diplomats to be sure, the best of the best-intentioned and best-capable in the US) is at interpreting and understanding Russian thought (and for that matter Chinese thought). So, I do wonder whether it is just me, or (1) whether other English native speakers can experience the same dimensions from Russian language interviews as I purport to be able to, and (2) the same question but for non-Anglosphere English speakers who also speak a different native language can also experience.
N.B.2. All the above is moot, as I would not have found Mustreader’s channel if not for this English interview 😂 Now I am subscribed to both the English and Russian channels. Please keep the interviews coming!
@@jimbojet A fascinating message. I am a Russian native speaker majoring in Chinese, this sounds like a promising thesis subject! My favorite thing is to look for Russian equivalents for the chengyus (usually, there aren't any.. but doesn't hurt to look!). Btw Mustreader's also learning Chinese, 我希望他能尽快通过HSK6 哈哈
P.S. just a small correction, Realpolitik comes from German, not Russian.
@@ineluctablemodalityre: realpolitik omg I’ve been incorrectly claiming that for years, thank you 😅 And thank you for all the knowledge you’ve shared above. That is indeed fascinating, I hope you update this thread someday with your findings.
Personally, I have only begun to study various chengyu and tangshi, so I don’t have any rigorous backing for my belief, it’s more of an intuition at this point. I will agree that there are mostly no Chinese equivalents for Russian expression which is actually what makes Russian literature so novel and delighting for me - I only claim without much basis that there’s some cultural element outside of my Americanness (that I believe is due to my Chineseness) that makes said literature resonate with me on a deeper level. I will work hard myself to make more concrete and rigorous my thesis here 🙂
Also, wow, re: your perfect Chinese writing/grammar example: even as a native speaker, I had to study rigorously to acquire Chinese writing (I’m not sure what HSK I am but I’m probably still only around 1500 characters) and even now I make a lot of grammatical errors, so I could never comprehend how folks who don’t grow up speaking Chinese are able to learn it. I am not only impressed but inspired by your progress, and you’ve actually induced me to begin learning Russian today. Maybe someday I can watch Mustreader’s videos without subtitles 😂
@@jimbojet Glad I've made you learn something! Alright, when our Chinese and Russian respective levels will reach C2, I'll buy you a 青岛 ;)
As far as my grammar is concerned, although I am thankful for your kind words, I must admit that before posting a comment I often obsessively check my grammar in order to polish my sentence (don't want to 丢脸 I guess). So in real life my grammar is far from perfect, but I'm working on it :)
Удачи, друг! 祝你好运!

Great interview.
Good luck with the new channel!

Superb. So glad chess has got such an audience that makes this possible.
Me as well. I used to be a blogger and host of podcast on other topics, but the chess boom made it possible for me to return to chess and to focus on creating content in this area, which really makes me happy
@@MustreaderChess it's good. Nepo was comfortable talking with you so it had a nice flow. Than you
Nepo is such a badass and nice dude!! plus he's super creative when it comes to chess. cheers from Chile!!
I think hearing the way current chess players talk about different things makes you know the points of similarity and difference between you and them, which makes you know that reaching their level is possible, but at the same time it is not easy at all, and this is very motivating.
I agree, though not 100%. Reaching the level of the top guys is virtually impossible unless you start working on chess seriously from childhood (because the speed of synapse formation in the brain slows down with age), and also unless you have some talent. But with enough dedication and time (and good coaching) it's probably possible for most people to reach at least the Master level. At least I hope so :)
27:48 Disagreed. Well for the timing, I must say that they "announced(officially)" it quite late. But the planning was well going on from October(Fabi in CSQ said he knew about it since October) or even before. Now, as for the tournament happening to qualify Indians for the candidates, remember the organizers had sent invitations to Anish and Wesley both(Anish himself confirmed that he received the invitation). But it was unfortunate that they REFUSED to play in the tournament. Both Anish and Wesley then had the chance to qualify for the candidates, through Circuit and Rating spots respectively. Moreover, Parham who joined for the tournament also had the rating spot chance for him(at that time) and not just Indian prodigies. The tournament rating avg was also above 2700 unlike Alireza's. These are facts and not just statements which is purely based on one's logic. Ian being a world class player and 2 times world championship challenger should make an informed statement.
I agree here, the Chennai tournament looks 100% legit to me (and was a great one to watch)
The tournament was frankly HIGHLY WEIRD because of the timings, but the tournament was 100% LEGIT. Also in the chennai grandmasters, Gukesh vs Predke Move 33 Was 100% SUS AF. At the same time Dubov vs Nepo game was canceled but i am surprised How that game wasn't 😂😂😂
p.s. This is also FACT 😂
32:43 is the apt situation in this case 😂😂😂😂 Planning since 1900 AD
@@Morphysince94 Nah bro, I must say that your comments are absolutely wrong, still I took inspiration from your comments and your facts. Now, I have changed my stance on Chennai GM. Not only move 33 in the game between Gukesh and Predke was SUS, the whole game is SUS(they must have pre planned all the moves)😂😂😂. I also think the whole tournament was sus, everyone(including players like Levon, Parham, Sugirov, Hari, Arjun etc) were told about their moves before starting their games(at least games against Gukesh)😂😂. And why only that? All the tournaments in which Gukesh performs well, like Tata right now(Gukesh finishing 2nd might be pre planned so that nobody suspects Gukesh). Gukesh becoming youngest ever to reach 2750 was pre planned.Can we both agree on these points?😂😂😂😂 What say Morphysince94? I have even learnt placing laughing emojis makes your points more '"SENSEFUL" and depicts "SERIOUSNESS"🤣🤣. I really hope you consider these things in your next comments. Have a good day!
Thanks for the english pod cast Ian
30:20 agreed , anish deserves to be in the candidates.
And he proves it by performing at such a high level at Tata Steelk, where he's currently leading the pack
Amazing interview, we believe in you Ian, we know you are a warrior and will get the world champion title
Very good interview of the very smart and talented Ian Nepomniachtchi. Thanks a lot !
Thanks, stay tuned for the next ones!
so good that idea of the plugin to install when you play TT to avoid chessbots
Thanks Nepo! Good luck to you!!
Love Ian’s Basquiat-shirt! 😍
Such a great podcast! Thank you )
Nepo waiting to win the championship so he can talk trash about Ding's qualifying process is funny lol
I think it's very classy. In that case, it would be obvious that he criticizes Ding's path to the match not out of spite
Now it sounds out of spite since he lost haha. I doubt anyone cared that much except the few who didn't want ding to qualify since he would take their spot. Everyone knows Ding just making the games since he can't leave China, he doesn't need rating.
And if we talking about federations and nations players, I don't think Russia can talk too much. They would do the same and have done worse. Chinese state doesn't even support ding unlike Russian federation back in The day when Russia was on top in chess world.
@30:24 Nepo continues repeating everywhere that Chennai Grandmasters and Wijk aan Zee awarded same points to the winner but it's 21 points vs 27 points which makes a big difference when only 5 of your best circuit scores get counted. Grand Swiss winner also got lesser circuit points than the winner of Wij aan Zee last year despite the former being an order of magnitude tougher to win but Nepo has to nitpick and lie continuously just to prove his point.
I guess he's just mixed up some numbers here!
Great interview
I had no idea about the alireza thing. I guess FIDE's idea is that if people are "pumping" their rating they will get walled when they meet people at that rating not being pumped there. The concern is that even if this happens you've already sullied the sportsmanship of the game itself in abstract and that matters to the people playing.
mf shows up in a basquiat shirt lmao nepo is a legend
TY for keeping it in English so that non-Russian (Indian) like me can enjoy the podcast.
Cheers! I like India, I especially liked the Ladakh region which I visited several years ago. I'm going to come to your country again to record some podcasts with the Indian young stars
I didn't think about how the other GM's must feel when they know the players who cheat against them won't cheat against Magnus or Nakamura in the online tournaments. Interesting.
Ian, how do you not know that your strength is your incredible creative, super fast and wildly attacking play??
I dont agree, attacking style might bring in loads of points against 2700 Nepo shines with his technical ability - as Magnus said, Ian is probably the best in the world in queen+pawn endgames.
I dont get the point “Tata Steels Master got the same fide points as Chennai chess masters”. Thats incorrect lol. Anish got over 27 points for winning Tata Steel but Gukesh got around 21 points for winning Chennai Master
Nepo next World Champion!!!
World champion of playing bad moves quickly :)
At 12:21he notes that some of the apparent online cheaters never blunder.
So instead of looking at the average rating, we should look at the worst 3 moves of a player during a game.
we know Yan is insightful and wise but can we also admit he is SUPER HOT
I have screenshots from Hans with a strange wire coming out of his coat from the game today, will try to submit to fide
Nepo’s always been the realest super gm
😂😂nice joke😂😂 nepo is biased
@@swarnavabanerjee4112who isn't?
@@swarnavabanerjee4112 maybe you're just salty he didn't simp for your p.o.v 🤡
Nepo is my favourite chess player he is so amazing to watch when in form, and he's also got a great style off the chess board too!
I don't think it's exclusive to Russian players, but it does seem there is some paranoia in talking about one's strengths/weaknesses at the top levels whereas it's fine to talk about what you think someone else's strengths/weaknesses are. It definitely seems like a competitive measure though and something I seem to notice more among Russian players.
Can you please invite Morozevich? He always has something interesting to say
I will!

This guy really likes to write to FIDE.
can i make a slight observation and criticism?....your background is way to busy and obscures the viewing of the people
Thanks for the observation, but this was the only room that they allowed us to record content in Samarkand. I guess it's a traditional Uzbek ornament
ok...my mistake....thanks for the reply and i am not suggesting the wall is not appealing just that it does not enhance the interview...@@MustreaderChess
I agree, next time we'll try and find something more neutral!@@Momus2024
nepo is so wrong and salty about ding. ding was seen as the unfortunate victim from other top players. ding was qualified unlike alireza who was not qualified. because of rules that were not updated with the travel restrictions, ding would have become a victim. FIDE obviously recognized that their rules needed to be changed, but didn't know how to change them spontaneously, but recognized that ding can do that which is why FIDE didn't say anything. On the other hand, Alireza was not qualified and was trying to do a cheap trick to drag someone who legit qualified down to replace them. alireza chose to be inactive and waited until the last moment to steal the spot. that is completely opposite of ding's situation.
Who are the names of the cheaters? Anyone
Everyone is afraid of lawsuits, like in the Hans case which was a warning for many
I didn't imagine Nepo so talkative
you did not watch his world championship vs carlsen?
i think Nepo is the most talented chess player in the world....but....something causes him to go astray....is he moving to fast when he doesnt need too?....or does he lose concentration...i dont know,..but again something causes him to blunder more than others...
I guess it is some psychological factor. I hope he really managed to work on that, guess we'll see for ourselves soon
i look forward to your other interviews...thanks@@MustreaderChess
He’s simply isn’t though.
Ding part time stamp???
them chairs look so uncomfortable
Complaining about Ding after losing to him is just extremely pathetic. In the first place, Candidates changed the rules for qualifications for no good reason in the specific cycle he's referencing. Previously, players have always qualified through their ratings. Ding couldn't participate in tournaments due to visa issues and the ridiculous changes to the rules that happened during COVID. How is that his fault? Racists who say, "unlucky" dont' participate are just salty a Chinese chess player won fair and square against their representatives.
Well, you're some sort of japanese or chinese, I wasn't surprised, lmao.
Echo in the studio and 2nd language is what makes it hard to listen. I'll try anyway 🤓
There’s obviously a lot of cheating but there is also a major problem with the rating system. There are tons of incredible players out there who have only played chess online. The pandemic only created even more great players who have never played OTB tournaments. It’s this new age of online chess which created so many new strong players. I think the rating system is so broken now because of this that many GM’s believe there is more cheating going on than there actually is.
U cant be good if u never play otb to gain experiences
thats the fact,just liek esport
a lot of people in esport play so good online but turned out theya re cheating and got expose on lan
@@dereknichols4376 I don’t know anymore. That may have been true 10-20 years ago but nowadays with the strength of these chess computers, players are getting better and better. There are a lot of players out there who have only ever played online who are great players. That’s why I think there is a huge problem with the rating system. Maybe you could force these players to play a certain number of OTB tournaments or something. I don’t know but there is a big problem both with cheating and with the rating system in my opinion.
@@KatatopianosU said it urself,the engine and computer getting better
so its easier to cheat nowadays,that's why so many people paranoid about chess online
u can even cheat in ultra/hyper bullet nowadays
more advance technology=more easy to cheat
@@dereknichols4376 Yeah that’s true
Kramnik is coming from a good place, but the problem is that his actual statistical analysis is faulty.
So he doesn't demonstrate how you can use statistics to catch cheaters.
tell me who can?? everyone does it upto a degree then the best of them cower in court and let Niemann come back in after claiming to have proof of 200 games of cheating 😂😂😂. And the explanation is even more "excuses"
Great interview! But the background mosaic, the floral pattern of the chair and the Greg's shirt along with Ian's Basquiat tee is painful to watch. The colors match well but the patterns are just not compatible!
Thanks for the feedback. Will improve next time!
So out of 500 players in a titles Tuesday, how many does Nepo think ar cheating?
15-20 in the top 100
Who is this Mustreader guy, how did he manage to interview some of the biggest faces in chess while only having 2k subscribers.
I have a channel in Russian with 250k subscribers, so it was easier for me because of that. The Russian translations of all recent podcasts have been published over there.
I think people should accept that everyone is decent, that people move their play closer to engines with every single day. I'm 1300 blitz and in tournaments I sometimes lose to 500-700 elo players, which is over 600 elo difference, and basically should never happen. but the same way a 600 elo player can play as 1300 elo player in 10-15% of his games, it can happen on higher levels where a CM or IM can play like a good GM for a few games when they're into flow state and feel the game and everything goes their way.
But that should be a rare thing the matches should be more consistently competitive if the MMR wasn't so obviously undermined. But this is not the case and that's why it seems like ratings are meaningless online. And this is not just an online chess thingn this has been an online Esports gaming thing for almost 30 years. A lot of the pro players think people only cheat and have incentives to cheat at the higher levels and in money events, but the truth is most people cheat simply because they can. And even more detrimental to the general Playerbase than engine use, is the use of multiple accounts. Smurfing and farming players is something that only happens online.
Invite Grischuk pleaseeee😢
I'm going to!
Ian definitely looking to take kramniks place, once his crusade ends
he is smart man on and off the board.
He is. Having spoken with him in Russian quite a lot, I can confirm that in Russian his broader vocabulary and vast knowledge of cultural references makes him an even more well-rounded conversation partner
Nepo always accuses others of cheating. In the 2015 World Cup, Nepo appealed Nakamura’s win in their armageddon game claiming that Naka had castled with both hands and should therefore be forfeited. In his world championship match with Magnus, after Magnus adjusted a piece without saying “j’adoube” (because Nepo was absent from the board and there was no one present to hear it anyway) Nepo complained after the game that the arbiter didn’t intervene to make Magnus move the adjusted piece. Now after losing to Ding, Nepo complains that Ding shouldn’t have qualified for the rating spot in the Candidates despite his 2800+ rating. There’s never enough justice for Nepo. If only all his opponents could be retroactively forfeited, Nepo might have a chance of winning fair and square.
Honestly though is he wrong on the rules in any of those situations? Nakamura and Magnus are notorious for that. I still remember when Nakamura made the illegal touch move on Levin aronian in 2016 I think. I don't know the games you are talking about I'd have to see them to judge intentions for myself but in the case of Nakamura 2016 he literally moved his Queen to a square moved it back and then decided to move another piece.
2800+ rating is cool but how does it make him entitled for a candidates spot? Ding’s case is same as Firouzja’s.
@@himanshu4938if rules were well designed they should allow the strongest players to qualify and save some room for those on the fence. In that case Ding deserves a spot simply for being too strong. It was unfortunate that it had to come down to technicality of the rules but also fortunate that the rules allowed the strongest player to still participate if they were willing to (him playing a shit ton of games ahead of candidates was an indication of him wanting to qualify). That is simply by design.
@@Young-ep8ik strongest player didn’t play for 11.5 months and then played 30 games with 2 local GMs.
@@himanshu4938 he was considered one of the favorites to win candidates. He did not care for rating because nobody knew there was even a spot for highest rated player until the karjakin ban. He had pandemic related travel restriction and visa issues that other gms like reza did not have. So he opted to try to qualify in literally the only way possible. If you are biased and want a 2800 player to have zero chance enter a tournament that he obviously belong to, just say so. Don’t hide behind excuses and fake logic.
He seems salty and unable to accept the reality that in blitz FIDE Masters can beat him. His recent OTB blitz results should have taught him that it’s not an online cheating thing it’s just reality.
I think you got it backwards it's more suspicious when a player's OTB and online performances don't even remotely correlate with each other in Blitz. What you are alluding to is not necessarily engine use , the problem is new players who are underrated which is similar to people using multiple accounts and constantly making new ones online. And that's the sort of thing that affects the general player base more than it does the top titled players when it comes to online play but which is important because it's those players who bring the the viewership and therefore money in.

Great podcast! But not good sound.
the most gloryos think i can think of its doing a vis sho opaning and a king s walk from top to bottom or bottom to top and draw vs you the story its gonna be how we make it be you know.
but been honest its about the fun of been able to play a line that s also good and make some sens vs a human that can keep the level so i can learn more while playing a longer game or diferent variation of the same lines until i can do them alone cause fully computare lines are to insine brosky its not fun to play jsut stoclfish all day to get better.
No doubt that fide System does not make any one happy, lets say No 1 ( Magnus) and nor the best ten players of the list. What a shame that in every sport it is controled by politicians that just were mediocres in their own sport. Nepo no doubt your and amazing player, congratulatios and best regards!
Does Nepo admit that Kramnik had no idea what he was talking about?
No
Is Nepo a Nepo Baby?
try interviewing indian chess gms.
hope u will see my rrequest.
I will!
Don't like him. Don't care what he says or thinks... not a fan. To each their own.
Don't play unknown guys or don't play online at all. Problem solved🙂
So, don't play Titled Tuesdays?
@@MustreaderChess Don't
@@imeprezime1285I think that's what's going to happen eventually if they don't make some drastic changes. I play on lichess because I refuse to play on a site that publicly condones and makes exceptions for smurfing. That's literally encouraging cheating. But even on lichess this past year the player base has dwindled and ratings are feeling even more meaningless.

Note on axis Vs allies:
They're not just good Vs bad. They're also axis of evil Vs allies of evil.
They're both evil but in different ways. I'm saying that even though the axis of evil is evil, they're still more so the good guys compared to the allies of evil - whom I consider the bad guys.
We may disagree on who the good Vs bad guys are, but I think we'll agree on axis Vs allies.
Axis of Evil is like tax collector, the more conventional, obvious or well-known evil.
Allies of Evil is like Pharisee, the unconventional or inconspicuous evil.

Note re Vlad:
I view Vlad's accusation of Hans similar to Bobby's accusation of Anatoly Karpov & Wesley's wanting Sergey to not be in the 2022 candidates - it's a good guy fighting another good guy. The real bad guy in each respective case is Magnus, Garry & Magnus again. Tsk tsk. It's sad Vlad/Bobby/Wesley didn't realise that Magnus/Garry/Magnus is far more evil than Hans/Anatoly/Hans. Wait, I think Bobby did. Not sure. I think Bobby hated Garry more than Anatoly, but maybe not by much more.

Wesley So, Bobby Fischer & Hans Niemann have NEVER done ANY of the ff evil things in chess as adults.
Magnus Carlsen, Garry Kasparov & Hikaru Nakamura HAVE done EACH of the ff evil things in chess as adults.
Evil:
-Cheating
-Baseless accusations
-Discrimination (eg by cheating or baselessly accusing people mainly of a certain ethnicity or citizenship)
-Treason
Re treason:
- Magnus betrayed fellow Scandinavian-descent Hans by baselessly accusing Hans
- Hikaru betrayed fellow American Hans by baselessly accusing Hans.
- Garry betrayed 2 fellow Jews Judit Polgar & Alexei Shirov by cheating them.
2
9LX players are more honest than chess players.
- Wesley So, not Fabiano Caruana, is the 3rd highest peak fide classical rated honest player. Fabi is the highest.
- Top 3 are Fabi, Levon, Wesley - all American. Also the 0th & 1st classical WFRCCs (resp Bobby & Wesley) are American.
- Also, Hans & Wesley consider Bobby greatest while Magnus & Hikaru consider Garry greatest. What a coincidence! God bless America! SayNoTo2900!
3
1999Mar25 on Philippine radio:
(Bobby Fischer would've been 2900.)
My rating would be at least 2900, which is a lot higher than Kasparov’s. But in the end, that’s not
important Pablo because the point is, I got my rating honestly. All my games are real. I’ve never even pre-arranged a draw. They have nothing on me. That’s why they hate me so damn much - because I’m clean. Kasparov got his fantastic rating by pre-arranging almost all of his games. (...) He’s a crook on a gigantic scale. You know, Eugene Torre could have the highest rating in the
world too if he would pre-arrange all his games.
- ( Actually, this further convinces me Bobby would like nephew Wesley & hate Magnus because Wesley = Eugene Torre & Magnus = Garry. As described in XNHWbgAsZnA or 2d427ys5FrY )

Wesley So on 2018Jun08:
Thank you all for your encouragement and support. I am moving into a new area of my chess development working to win the game instead of taking a draw which I can do easily. With that attitude there will be bad days but that is life. Some players think exchanging a piece and then taking a prearranged draw on move 17 is okay but I don't want to be like them. I fought Fabi as hard as I could and I made a simple miscalculation. I am proud of the choice I made to fight. For everyone's benefit let me be clear that I have never taken a prearranged draw, I never will, and I have never played a bad game to help a friend. My bad games are a result of miscalculation under pressure. There are no free gifts in chess on this level (unless you are from certain countries that everyone knows about). You fight or you die. You have all been great in supporting me. Thank you. Moving on to the next fight.

Hikaru Nakamura is almost as evil as the Hikaru in Oshi no Ko. Magnus Carlsen is almost as evil as Light Yagami, Alejandro Ramirez & Vidkun Quisling.
A
Light Yagami from Death Note
- who is about as big a sore loser as Magnus Carlsen Vs Hans Niemann or Wesley So.
- For Hans in particular, Magnus cheated Alexandra Kosteniuk, Alireza Firouzja, Danya Naroditsky & Ian Nepomniachtchi but then accused Hans of cheating. LOL. Light did something similar. Light is a serial killer.
- In this case Magnus' Death Note is Magnus' power over tournament organisers / arbiters / directors. Magnus manipulated ches***m to remove Hans from the 2022 CGC after Magnus quit the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. Magnus manipulated FIDE to lower the time controls in the WFRCC from 60min to 32.5min so that Wesley So will be less favoured to win after Magnus quit the 2023 WCC.
HUGE PARALLEL:
- FIDE lowers WFRCC time controls from classical 2019 to rapid 2022 to lower AMERICAN Wesley So's odds wanting Magnus / traitor Hikaru to win after Magnus quit 2023 WCC
JUST AS
- ches***m kicked out AMERICAN Hans Niemann of 2022 CGC wanting to please Magnus after Magnus quit 2022 Sinquefield Cup.
COINCIDENCE?
oprocyona (2022Oct) :
'Many decisions in tournament chess are made to favor the player that brings in the most sponsorship dollars and views, which is undoubtedly Magnus. There's also no doubt that Magnus generally dislikes americans- he said so on one of the Magnus effect podcast episodes.'
See here : Magnus Effect episode 2 - 20 Best Ways to Introduce Yourself

B
Bandit Keith from Yu-Gi-Oh!
- who is a hypocritical cheater for cheating but then accusing Joey of cheating like Magnus who cheated but then accused Hans of cheating.
- Actually Bandit Keith is a non-Japanese who cheated a Japanese and then accused a Japanese of cheating.
- Magnus is a non-American gentile who cheated Jewish Anish Giri, Jewish Alexandra Kosteniuk, Alireza Firouzja (non-American gentile too, but Alireza was becoming French - the top French at the time was MVL who is Jewish), Jewish Danya Naroditsky & Jewish Ian Nepomniachtchi. Also, Jewish Garry Kasparov cheated FELLOW JEW Judit Polgar (Also, Judit's onee-san Susan is American) & Vishy Anand (non-American gentile, and I have no explanation for this).
- Yet Magnus baselessly accused a Jewish American of cheating. Also Garry accused American company IBM of cheating re Deep Blue.
C
TALENTLESS Nana Hiiragi
- because Magnus is TALENTLESS for losing to Wesley So in the world Fischer Random chess championship DESPITE being then 4x reigning world chess champion.
(In chess, how good you are is a combination of opening theory & then talent after the opening is done. In chess960, there's no opening theory, so if you lose, then the only reason is talent. This makes Magnus TALENTLESS because h strength is 99.9% opening theory and 0.1% talent.)
Based on episode 1:
Magnus Carlsen reveals to Wesley So that Magnus is actually Talentless, and that Magnus is killing Wesley So before Wesley So leads the other Talented to become the true Enemies of Chess. As Wesley So loses Wesley So's grip and falls away, Magnus receives a text message claiming Magnus has saved one million people from 9LX.
D
Kaguya Shinomiya unlike Miyuki Shirogane from Kaguya-sama
Kaguya is a 'pampered goldfish' like Magnus, the top classical player.
Miyuki 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American' like Beth Harmon, Wesley So, Bobby Fischer & Hans Niemann. (Well Miyuki might be an American resident if not ultimately an American citizen. Also, Miyuki is blond.) Wesley So is the top classical Fischer random chess player, and Bobby Fischer is the creator of Fischer random chess.
Kaguya's chess strategy highly relies on opening prep. You can see Kaguya has a huge team of computers and seconds like what the Soviets had before.
But Miyuki's chess strategy is largely about thinking on h feet. Bobby Fischer single-handedly ended Soviet domination of world chess championships in 1972. Similarly, Wesley So single-handedly ended Magnus' domination of world chess or Fischer random chess championships in 2019 (Fischer random chess by definition has no computers).
Kaguya is greater, but Miyuki is more talented.
This is what I was told in 2021 about why Wesley So's chessgames page is the top page in kibitzing :
"He has some very ardent fans, mainly from his native Philippines I think. I get the feeling that when countries haven't had a history of producing elite sportsmen, they really gravitate to the ones which they do produce. For example, Salah's Egyptian fanbase is pretty infamous. On its own, it's pretty harmless. There was a period however, where a section of his fanbase tried to mark Carlsen down as Wesley's big enemy, saying that he only rose to the top because he was a 'pampered goldfish' who got invites to elite tournaments early on whereas Wesley had to face the 'barracudas' in open tournaments. Think that's died down though and when goldfish and barracuda are brought up, its more often in ironic fashion."
E
Long Feng from ATLA/TLOK - gaslights people 'There is no cheating done by Magnus, Garry or Hikaru.' Hans is like Zuko.
F
Ash Ketchum from Pokémon, world champion
- JUST KIDDING. MAGNUS WAS NEVER THE WORLD CHAMPION. Wesley So is the WC. Magnus is a 5x classical WCC, 6x blitz WCC, 4x rapid WCC but a 0x classical WC (& 0x rapid WC). Wesley So is the only (classical) WC in history. (Hikaru is the only rapid WC in history.)
Here the joke is the I'm arrogantly defining 'WC' to be 'WFRCC' instead of 'WCC'.
But really who would Bobby Fischer consider to be the Ash Ketchum of 2019Nov - 2023Mar : Wesley So, Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura?

Ok thanks though you didn't answer any of the 4 questions
4th: Nepo is the best overall as of 2023Apr30 in an equal combination of
-classical chess,
-rapid chess,
-classical 9LX &
-rapid 9LX
Being 2nd in
-2023 classical WCC (only by rapid)
-2022 rapid WFRCC,
-2021 classical & rapid WCCs
-2019 classical WFRCC score
And 14th in 2022 rapid WCC (ahead of Hikaru, Wesley So, Liren)
That's right: Nepo AND NOT MAGNUS is the top 2 classical 9LX player behind Wesley So!
- This is because Nepo's score is higher than Magnus'. Not just for a weighted average of the classical & rapid portions but even for both the classical & rapid portions individually. Nepo lost only 3x to Wesley So while Magnus lost 4x.
- Magnus & Nepo played the same opponents - Wesley So & Fabi. Both beat Fabi. Both lost to Wesley So. Nepo was just unfortunate to face Wesley So 1st. Imagine if the pairings were reversed or they played a double knockout.
Now let's take a look at the top1 of each.
-2023 classical WCC - Liren never even played 9LX ? ( kTGBSAR-lxE )
-2022 rapid WFRCC - Hikaru is lower in rank than Nepo in both classical chess candidates & classical 9LX and never won a classical 9LX game
-2021 classical WCC - Magnus sucks at 9LX and even cheated Nepo here
-2022 rapid WCC - Both Magnus & Hikaru suck at classical 9LX
-2019 classical WFRCC - Wesley So scored -2 in candidates.
-2021 rapid WCC - Nepo beat Nodirbek in 2022 rapid WFRCC via Magnus
I am Filipino / Filipina / Philippine, love 9LX and hate chess, but there is no shame in admitting that treating these 4 titles equally Nepo is the best overall.
-Au contraire there is actually arrogance rather than shame because Nepo is the top 2 in classical 9LX behind Wesley So and ahead of Magnus. Lol.
-And I know Bobby Fischer would value the classical WFRCC far more than all of the rapid WCC, rapid WFRCC & classical WCC combined and thus would consider Wesley So the 'real' world champion for 2019Nov - 2023Mar over Hikaru rapid WFRCC & Magnus classical WCC, rapid WCC, blitz WCC (and MVL blitz WCC & Nodirbek rapid WCC).
But Nepo Vs Wesley So in Bobby's opinion? Ummm...well let's say unresolved. Hehehe. After all Wesley So reached 2800, but Nepo is peaking.
2023Aug Update : Oh, there's a 2024 WFRCC. If it's classical, then we might be able to settle Wesley So Vs Nepo.

Русский берет интервью у русского на английском. Как символично))))))))))
great interview but this set up is awful brother. Whos idea was it?
It was the setup given to us in Samarkand by the local organizers, so we had to work with that.
Kramnik is on the right path tho.
Nope, he really isn’t.
Nepo has no personality. It’s a shame for him
Really? You probably know nothing about Nepo. He is the chess player with one of the most outstanding charisma out there. I've known him personally for a couple of years and can guarantee this, also having spoken to many other chess GMs
That background, plus the patterns of the chairs and his shirt are all very busy! Too much going on!
That was the only viable option for the recording location that time, so we had to work with what we were given
That horrible wallpaper makes it impossible to watch.
i have never played chess but i would beat this guy in a year, look at him
3rd: Ian Nepomniachtchi rules.
Liren Ding sucks.
Wesley So rules.
Magnus Carlsen sucks.
Liren's STUPID LIST of role models :
FlNsFKeq-iE
A-Veselin Topalov
B-Garry Kasparov
C-Magnus Carlsen
Explanation :
A-Veselin Topalov - baselessly accused Jewish Vlad
B-Garry Kasparov - treasonously cheated fellow Jewish Europeans Judit & Alexei Shirov, cheated Vishy Anand & 2 Americans MSN & Daniel Edelman and baselessly accused American IBM re Deep Blue
C-Magnus Carlsen
- cheated Jewish-or-American players Anish Giri, Wesley So, Alexandra Kosteniuk, Sergey Karjakin, Danya Naroditsky TWICE & Ian Nepomniachtchi
- baselessly accused Jewish American Hans, Jewish Alisher & American Alice Lee ( source is PgHQdOocI84 )
- Also cheated gentile non-American Alireza but Alireza was becoming French whose top player prior is Jewish MVL.
Why wouldn't Nepo like the opposite?
A-Vladimir Kramnik
B-Bobby Fischer
C-Wesley So
Explanation :
A-Vladimir Kramnik - easily beat Veselin 2006 WCC (1 game was forfeited!)
B-Bobby Fischer - would've easily beat Anatoly Karpov 1975 WCC under either rules and then Anatoly drew a million times w/ Garry
C-Wesley So - easily beat Magnus 2019 WFRCC 13.5-2.5 including win 3x classical games in a row and is the only player better than Nepo in classical 9LX.

What'd Bobby Fischer say about Hans, Magnus, Hikaru, Wesley So, Sergey, Alireza, Nepo, Fabi, FIDE?

Imagine that 2001 interview ( SAWfehKE0iI ) but replace George Bush w/ Magnus, and it's 2022Oct21 at 08:30am GMT+8 (where else?), 6 hrs after 'My lawsuit speaks for itself':

8 parts
Part2
Mercado:
'Yeah, that’s what people' had been 'asking' in the US and 'here too in the Philippines. Considering' that Magnus had been and even now still is the WCC, wouldn’t e be able to beat Wesley So once…
Fischer:
'What I'm really hoping for now, Pablo', is 'some kind of a' 'scenario where'
-FIDE & ches***m 'will be taken over by' Andrii Baryshpolets & Thibault Duplessis
-they’ll get rid of all the classical regular chess tournaments,
-ban Hikaru Nakamura from twitch,
-sanction Garry Kasparov & Magnus Carlsen, who'll admit to pre-arranged games and apologise to Judit Polgar, Viswanathan Anand, IBM, MSN, Alexei Shirov, Daniel Edelman, Alexandra Kosteniuk, Alireza Firouzja, Daniel Naroditsky & Ian Nepomniachtchi.
'I’m hoping for a totally new world.'
Mercado:
'Really?'
Fischer:
Yeah. How many hundreds or thousands of players did Magnus Carlsen cheat while streaming? 'Justifying it with the most ridiculous excuse that' e was drunk. When they were still money tournaments.
---
Part3
Fischer:
Magnus Carlsen, Garry Kasparov & FIDE are 'based on lies' & 'theft'
They cheated & 'robbed'
-Alexandra Kosteniuk
-Alireza Firouzja
-Daniel Naroditsky
-Sergey Karjakin
-Fabiano Caruana
-Ian Nepomniachtchi
-Daniel Edelman
-Judit Polgar
-Viswanathan Anand
-Alexei Shirov
-Levon Aronian
Almost all of the superGMs. Had these rapid tiebreaks instead of classical Fischer random or classical armageddon w/ auction and let Magnus Carlsen & Garry Kasparov cheat.
'Right?'
Mercado:
'Oo.' (Tagalog for 'Yes.')
Fischer:
'That's the history of' Magnus Carlsen, 'a despicable' player. 'I knew something was rotten in Denmark'. (Hans is of Danish-descent.)
Part4
Mercado:
'[Laughing] So, what do you think’s going to happen in the next 24 hours, then?'
Fischer:
'Well,' Magnus Carlsen 'is bellowing, 'told what to say, of course by' FIDE, Garry Kasparov and h lawyers.
Magnus Carlsen & FIDE 'just will not do what they have to do.'
FIDE 'has to say'
-"we’re sorry",
-"our whole tournament format has been wrong for the last several decades",
-"we'll start having classical Fischer random - and we won't force both colours of the same setup",
-"we'll sanction Magnus Carlsen & Garry Kasparov for cheating",
-'and so on.'
Magnus Carlsen 'has to say'
-"I’m sorry",
-"I've been cheating players for the last decade",
-"I'm a TALENTLESS patzer",
-"I don't deserve to be the main FIDE WC anymore than Sergey Karjakin, Fabiano Caruana, Ian Nepomniachtchi or Wesley So"
-'and so on.'
'You see?' And e’s 'not going to admit that. No.' E’s 'going to say'
-“This cheater”,
-“This cowardly lawsuit will be dismissed.”
'I expect soon that' Sergey Karjakin will launch a parallel pure Fischer Random federation, where Magnus Carlsen will be 'still, hundreds of feet underneath - heh' - Wesley So & Ian Nepomniachtchi and will be 'saying', “This dastardly chess variant of Bobby Fischer will never take off!” E’ll 'just constantly talk about' “this cheater Hans Niemann”.
Part5
Fischer:
Magnus Carlsen & FIDE are 'not going to be reasonable' and 'admit that' they're the bad guys:
-2013: Returning to round robin candidates - Remember who won that? - 50 years after my complaint in 1963. You think Wesley So wouldn't do better in a knockout than a round robin?
-2016 WCC: Magnus Carlsen beat Sergey Karjakin despite fewer black wins
-2018 WCC: Magnus Carlsen couldn't beat Fabiano Caruana - cf my 1975 WCC conditions!
-2009-2021: Magnus Carlsen cheated Alexandra Kosteniuk, Alireza Firouzja, Daniel Naroditsky & Ian Nepomniachtchi
-2016 Candidates: Hikaru Nakamura cheated Levon Aronian
-1994-2000: Garry Kasparov cheated Judit Polgar, Viswanathan Anand & Alexei Shirov
-2021 rapid WCC playoff excluding Fabiano Caruana
-2022 WFRCC & CGC disgracing my name & variant in favouring Magnus Carlsen & Hikaru Nakamura over Hans Niemann & Wesley So by removing Hans Niemann & making up this undefined term 'slow rapid' and in that they don't yet have a women's WFRCC - Alexandra Kosteniuk could've been inaugural winner
-2022 Candidates: Sergey Karjakin
They've 'always been the bad' guys - well, except in 2019. "Gens una sumus" 'is just a load of' bull. 'It's just a cover for the' tortious 'nature of the' International Magnus Chess-en Federation.
---
Part6
Mercado:
'There are fears, Bobby, that'
-Wesley So might not win 2022 WFRCC because of lower time controls and FIDE won't rename as 2022 inaugural rapid WFRCC
-Ian Nepomniachtchi might lose 2023 WCC because of rapid despite more black classical wins
-Magnus Carlsen will gift a pre-arranged loss to Vincent Keymer for blacklisting Hans Niemann.
-Carissa Yip, rumoured to be dating Wesley So, might lose 2023 girls WCC, like Fabiano Caruana in 2021 rapid WCC.
-2024 rating spot candidates qualifier might be abused cf Liren Ding.
-2023 rapid/blitz WCC will have many pre-arranged draws, an incorrect dress code fines & a personal lounge for a known confessed cheater.
'Do you think' those are 'possible'?
Fischer:
'I think' those are 'possible, unfortunately. That’s the big danger': That, Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, ches***m, FIDE, these 'lunatic people, are going to take us all with them'.
'This is just the beginning, Pablo.' 'Everybody’s had enough' s from Magnus Carlsen & FIDE.
Mercado:
'You think' Hans Niemann is 'planning something else'?
Fischer:
'Yeah.' 'What about' Wesley So & Ian Nepomniachtchi? 'What if they decide to throw in their lot with' Hans Niemann, right?
'What about'
-Fabiano Caruana
-Sergey Karjakin
-Alexandra Kosteniuk
-Alireza Firouzja
-Daniel Naroditsky
-Judit Polgar
-Viswanathan Anand
-Alexei Shirov
-Levon Aronian?
Part7
Fischer:
'It’s time for' Magnus Carlsen 'to eat the s, to humble' hself, 'to withdraw' h minions back to Norway and 'to admit that' e's a cheater, baseless accuser, sore loser & thus hypocrite. 'Otherwise,' Magnus Carlsen 'has to be' found liable & banned.
Mercado:
'Mmm-hmm.'
Fischer:
'I mean, look what'
Magnus Carlsen did to
-Alexandra Kosteniuk in 2009
Touched 1 rook but moved another.
-Alireza Firouzja in 2019
Muttered causing distraction.
-Ian Nepomniachtchi in 2021
Touched a knight but didn't move it.
Garry Kasparov did to
-Viswanathan Anand in 1995
Slammed a door causing a distraction.
-Judit Polgar in 1994
Let go of a knight but moved it somewhere else.
-Alexei Shirov in 2000
Denied candidates winner's playing for title.
'Now to me', Magnus Carlsen's & Garry Kasparov's "bullying cheating" 'is worse than' Hans Niemann's supposed online "engine cheating". 'You know why?'
Mercado:
'Why?'
Fischer:
Pareto principle. Anyone can online engine cheat. Almost only world chess champions / top players can bully cheat and get away with it. 'You understand?'
---
Part8
Mercado:
'Yes, I do.'
Fischer:
-'I say death to' Play Magnus, ches***m & FIDE!
-I saynoto2900 !
-F Magnus Carlsen!
-F Hikaru Nakamura!
-F Arkady Dvorkovich!
-F Peter Heine Nielsen!
-F Daniel Rensch!
-F Garry Kasparov!
Magnus Carlsen & Garry Kasparov are bullying cheaters.
-They pre-arrange games and gaslight reporters.
-They're defamatory, tortious, 'criminal, thieving, lying b()ds'.
-Magnus Carlsen 'made up the' b()ds theory. 'There’s not a word of truth to it.'
-'They are the worst liars and b()ds.'
'Now what goes around comes around. They’re getting it back, finally. Praise God, and' 'hallelujah. This is a wonderful day. F' Magnus Carlsen. 'Cry, you' crybaby! 'W()e, you' b()d! 'Now your time is coming.'

Pablo Mercado: So what is your advice to the Filipino chess players?
Uncle Bobby Fischer: My advice is to give up chess and take up Fischer Random.
