Magnus Carlsen is imba .
Guy is a chess genius and will probably rule the chess world for a long long time. |

Carlsen has a very unique approach to chess as well. Most top players nowadays are very computer driven and try very hard to work out optimal sequences of moves up to like move 15-20, but carlsen just wants to outplay people so he tries very hard to make some weird offbeat move early in a game that gives him the slight worst of it just to get the game out of theory and into his realm. such a fun thing to watch |

isn't carlsen 3-6-20 vs this dude, how could you say 80% to win |
|
I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

because this is showcased in India, the livestream will be NSFW. There will be topless ladies all over, so hopefully you aren't at work when it airs. |

b/c carlsen is rated #1, has been dominating the tourney circuit for the past couple years
the difference in ELO points between him and #2 is something like the difference between #2 and #19
i have a bet on Anand at +250, but don't really care who wins. just really excited for this match. the last one between anand and gelfand was boring as shit. |

If I want to enjoy this live and have a few hours free, any chess 101 I should checks to get the basics?
I am online fish but have some live experience (which I assume is the same as having poker live experience lol) in that I know rules and can beat most other people who know the rules (I usually think 2-3 moves ahead at each?) |

I suggest time traveling back a few years and putting in as much work as you did with BW / poker / weightlifting. Then you might start to grasp the nuances. Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy - it's like BW or SC2, you don't have to be a pro to know what's going on. Some stuff will inevitably fly over your head, but the commentators will be there (I guess?) to help you out with that. |

My favourite line is Bet/Fold. I bet, you fold. | |
