Id beat magnus carlsen when he was like 2

[hazy dragon]

My grandpa

[gentle birch]

why??

[pale socket]

Tal because he was such an aggressive player, and his play isn’t replicated

[strong brook]

uh you don't need a time machine to play magnus

[obtuse thorn]

because why not

[nova harness]

Henrique Mecking, only GM of my country that made to the candidates

[runic trail]

Would be cool to beat him before he gets good thoguh

[strong brook]

O

[hoary lintel]

You need one to beat him though

[jaunty flame]

I want to play in the era where en passant wasn't a thing.

[runic trail]

I would personally beat einstein not in chess but in ping pong.

[runic trail]

[hoary lintel]

Sounds horrible

[runic trail]

1200-1600 indeed

[rose frost]

Isnt it 1800's?

[rose frost]

epstein

[runic trail]

1200-1600

[upper zenith]

[jaunty flame]

but at the same time it would feel great to actually have a pawn there I want it

[upper zenith]

Lmao

[runic trail]

didnt unc die in 1880

or sum

[upper zenith]

He quit before he died

[runic trail]

he still died

[upper zenith]

Wouldn't have died if he hadn't quit

[hoary lintel]

Nah i thought he came back just to let everyone know he quit chess

[runic trail]

He wouldnt have had a stroke if he didnt quit chess?

[upper zenith]

His life would be entirely different therefore he wouldn't have gotten that stroke

[rose frost]

andrew tate's dad

[runic trail]
