Slow chess player (in every sense). I am what happens when unstoppable love for the game meets immovable terribleness at playing it.

Each person has to make their own decisions. Mine is I will no longer follow or subscribe/re-subscribe to Twitch channels where chessbae is a mod. I respect those who feel differently, and am sad to lose time watching GothamChess, but we all gotta do what we gotta do, capisce?

Fabi vs MVL makes clear just what a different game classical chess is and the high level of play. It's like suddenly remembering during the exciting play of March Madness that even the weakest pro is a level or three ahead of almost all of those players!

As time passes, it looks more and more likely GothamChess, Alireza Firouzja, and Alexandra Kosteniuk aren't going to do the right thing with chessbae. As Hobbes of Calvin & Hobbes) said, "I don't know what's more sad, that every man has his price, or that it's always so low."

Remind me: Who left FIDE in 1993 to play a private match in order to earn extra money, and left us with Kirsan and Russia to clean up the mess?

Props to Magnus for his "death matches" -- so different from previous world champs in his willingness to stream, play so many events, and just be out there, to our benefit!

This is why lichess.org will always be free and open. It's also why it will likely always be my favorite and most recommended chess site: lichess.org/blog/YF-ZORQAA…

Doping is a legitimate danger to chess, and will only become more so. I take chess seriously and this is what happens when the sport grows up.
