You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true!

    I never really liked the fact that in the 90's and early 2000's whenever a GM played against a computer, he would almost never play normally, like he would against another human GM in a serious tournament, and instead almost always tried to "trick" the computer in some manner... which meant making suboptimal, sometimes even outright bad moves. I think a lot of games were just outright lost in this manner, because the GM wouldn't just play normally.
    Of course nowadays GMs pretty much never play engines seriously anyway (with long time controls, playing like they were playing against a strong human player), although not for the same reasons. So I feel like we have never _really_ got a good "human vs. machine" tournament that was played seriously and "normally".

    • @leftysheppey

      @@leftysheppey While I can't know for sure, I'm somewhat certain that if grandmasters like Kasparov had in the late 90's and even very early 2000's played the strongest chess computers completely seriously, as if they were playing a world chess championship tournament against another human GM, they would have won or at least drawn more games than they did. Instead, they usually tried to "trick" the computer in some manner, thus making their own play inferior to what they were actually capable of.

      Kasparov loved complex positions, but computers often found better lines in those positions. There probably was a trick to beating them, but kasparov was too Stubborn to change how he played and instead tried to outplay a literal machine at its own game.

After he made his blunder he was told to have slowly risen his hands towards his head as the audience was loudly expressing their shock, and Steinitz calmly made the move, that only just allowed him to defend his World Champion title, which Chigorin was about to take from him.
