LOL, I never ghosted the thread, some of us have social lives and don't live on here, Mr 60k posts. Also WTF are you talking about I never claimed he had 10 100% Engine correlation OTB games, you literally invented that strawman yourself. This was my actual quote, so not sure why you came up...

Is he aware of the inherent weaknesses of the model? I mean he should be if he calls himself a statistician but it doesn't sound like it from every video I've heard of him talking, he sounds like a guy trying to protect his job. His model just seems badly calibrated and too easy to trick for me...

And it bears repeating because lots of people keep going back to this argument about Magnus being salty....Magnus has lost many times in his career and never reacted like this before, you think he doesn't like the guy's haircut or something?

His ELO gain isn't impossible but it is at the top of the pile among young players in the last few years and he definitely is not better than Erigaisi, Gukesh, Abdusattorov, etc, which would be weird given his recent form. His form seems to drop off massively in higher level tournaments where...

Also like people have said before Magnus has lost many times to other players he considers honest and and taken it in good grace, he's not throwing a tantrum here.

If you understand chess engines you will see that the evidence that he cheated vs evidence he didn't is overwhelming from a statistical perspective at least for the online games he has played in recent times. He has 10 games on record where he matches the Stockfish engine move for move for the...

The anal beads thing is just a joke some other GM made on one of his streams that got picked up by the media, nobody actually suggested that was the specific tool he was using. But the gist of it is someone who is watching the stream and using an engine to get the best moves sends a coded...

Engines are certainly optimised, Stockfish(the current daddy of chess engines) uses a deterministic tree pruning algorithm. It doesn't need to calculate every move possible on the board, it can evaluate which are the more likely lines, it also evaluates positions, not moves. This is what makes...

Magnus is ranked in the high 2800s last time I checked, highest ranked player of all time. The latest Stockfish engine running on your phone can hit 3514. It's a gulf in class, the processor on your smartphone is orders of magnitude more powerful than they were 10/15 years ago...like the other...

Also has nobody ever seen Casino, LOL? Cheaters at casinos in the 70s knew how to use electronic devices to transfer coded information to each other via scratches/vibrations, etc that was not apparent to anyone watching. These kind of tricks have been known for years, it's not some crazy, far...

Han's explanation that he studied a line that Magnus had only ever transposed into once in his career on the morning of the match is quite frankly absurd...He was banned for cheating on Chess.com after they looked into his history more closely and found that he had been hitting ridiculous...

That looks good man, what is that? Looks Spanish or Mexican, maybe? As an American who lives in London I do love a good English fry up minus the black pudding, I've never liked any kind of blood sausage, I know it's popular in a lot of places but I can't stomach the fact I'm eating fried pigs...

Unfortunately sometimes people just set themselves on a path to destruction and you can't do anything to stop it. It's not on you in any case. Fucking drugs man...

LOL so your entire argument is based on some theory you came up with in your head just now, good one. It's such a tired argument from non religious people about how all religious people must be secret hypocrites. Projecting your own lack of standards on other people doesn't make it true. It's...

How is this anything to do with Americans? You think this degenerate shit would be tolerated anywhere else in the world other than by degenerate Europeans? Acting like we're being uptight Americans when this skank would probably have her head on a spike in the middle east. 90% of the rest of the...

Not sure about the round eyes but when it comes to fair skin, that predates western influence by about two thousand years, and actually for the same reason pale skin was loved in the west. If you work in the fields you tan due to sun exposure, if not you stay pale, it's a class thing, if you're...

Is anyone surprised anymore? Life is cheap on those streets.

This...USMC has elite units but the average jarhead is no better than the average enlisted soldier really. There is a big difference between units like Royal Marines/ROK Marines and the USMC.

That Iranian dude is photoshopped to all hell, huge amounts of body fat but none on his gut, LOL.

Computers...yes. Thinking computers/AI...no. Pretty similiar to the Warhammer 40k Universe in that respect. Many people broach the line of what is acceptable.
