>but the chess world should have canceled him
Never. Not with the FIDE world champs history. Two of the most beloved former champions also butted heads with FIDE over the match and the way it's run and by whomst. Large portion of chess community quite likes it when the most prominent players tell the governing body to fuck off.
>>503530237
>stomp
I hope not. I don't think Ding is cured of whatever his psychological problem is. But I also don't think 18 year old Gukesh is necessarily a shoe-in to maintain control of a fourteen game long classical match. Gukesh has had phases of weakness before, for this reason the match is still potentially interesting to me. However if Ding drops a game early on to one of the characteristic absent minded blunders he's been making all year, he might very well crumble right there.

kasparov did it because he was a kgb asset - the whole point of his 'butting heads' with FIDE was to keep the title for russia
and as for fischer - he feared karpov

I know some of you like looking at the stockfish evaluation during the world championship games, so if you are also interested in the Leela eval but did not have a strong GPU, you should check the new lc0 blog out. In the blog there is a link to spectate the Ding vs Gukesh games with the strongest Leela net running on multiple 4090s.
https://lczero.org/blog/2024/11/wcc24-live/
Also there is a leaderboard for the odds bots on lichess. Apparently the queen odd bot is IM strength or higher even.

I could've sworn there was a rule where you couldn't castle if an opponent's piece was attacking any square in the path to castling but I guess I just made it up

Specifically the king cannot move through or in to check. The rook can move past those squares. In pic related here it's legal for white to castle long. I know e4 is probably a better move than 0-0-0 in this diagram but that's beside the point.

Ah, yeah that was it. White Queen on g3 was attacking the b8 square. Black long castled, so the King stopped just short of the Queen's attack.

Meanwhile i've just played in my small town's championship, organized by my club, got 4th place and next year i'm aiming to be the champion. The people over there are some of the nicest i've ever met. Internet chess drama has never even crossed the conversation.

At the risk of being the annoying drunk here i say that the entire modern internet is a poison. It alienates you from the real world and from what's really going on around you. You go outside and nothing is like what you read online. Especially chess. I've played chess in person. It's very different than playing no-face randos online. I can't realy explain it. All i can say is that you guys should look for your local club and join it, best thing you can ever do for your chess

Looks like Gukesh's is a sponsored choice. I'm sure it was something like some gaming chair outfit immediately got in touch with his handlers to try to get the chair in. That logo looks familiar, it's probably one of the bigger brands involved with these thing. Ding had some elaborate ergonomic chair in the match with Nepo as well. This one looks similar just without the fancy backrest design.

Nepo match was a swivel office chair as well. This is the one with the fancy backrest i mentioned. I like the appearance of Nepo's chair better but honestly if I'm sitting in one of these for 6+ hours per day, I'd go with Ding's choice.

The tiebreaker of the 74th Osho challenger tournament is being played between Takuya Nishida (sente) and Takuya Nagase. The time control is 4 hours per player.
The opening was third file rook vs. static rook. Nishida built a mino castle while Nagase made an anaguma variant.

Just do it, anon. Just go there and play. Doesn't matter if you're a turboautist social sperg, chess clubs are some of the most autist-friendly social spaces in existence. It doesn't matter if the only thing you can talk about is chess. Doesn't matter if you're not good either, people there are very eager to teach and welcome new players
