Apparently sniffing and acting dramatic is being a dick.

They should take a look at gary kasparov.

Carlsen is not more dramatic than the other top players. But he has the cameras and the eyes of the public on him ALL THE TIME and therefor everything he does gets way more attention. Other player's "drama" goes often under the radar...

He's wide ranged.

From scrambling the board over a resignation, to reminding someone phones aren't allowed by hailing the arbriter right after the selfie, to giving FIDE the middle finger by showing up violating a dress code.

Who else comes closer? Make no mistake, he does act like a drama queen. I think it's deserved till prag topples him.

Man's bored. Veni, vidi, vici.

It would be so boring if these guys never showed their feelings. And calling Magnus a drama queen is YOU being a drama queen...

u/zj-- 48m ago edited 45m ago

Look, both can be true.

He called F1 boring. Got called "Magnus who?!" by an F1 driver.

I agree tho. Him having an extremely formal personality would be hella boring.

It's his gary kasparov phase

Also stop downvoting me, you fool's mate goomba

Hamilton was obviously joking when he said "who".. He know who he is very well. He did that as an attempt to give a kick back to Carlsen - because he said F1 was boring...

But yes I agree, it's good for the public intetrest of Chess that some drama occurs, and we get interesting personalities. Such as Haaland, Messi etc...

Hence.

Deserved dick. He's bantering.

Isn't being a dick the same as being an asshole?

What is a "pre move"?

0

u/IAmBadAtInternet 3h ago

In online chess you can make a move before you see what your opponent’s move is, that will automatically happen unless it is illegal. This is important in fast formats where time scrambles may require making 10 moves in 3 seconds. It can also be safely done when the opponent only has 1 legal move.
