we spent 5 minutes of the live show discussing if the transmission broke in this position because Gledura castled, which is completely illegal (the king moved 5 moves ago). I can now confirm that is indeed what happened. good thing (sorta) that he lost anyway, or there would be brouhaha aplenty
Ben@cinemashoebox.bsky.social · 4w agoas far as i can tell the most unexpected result so far is this Maltese CM kicking the ass of Benjámin Gledura, a Hungarian GM who on paper is roughly the 100th best player in the world
taylor sheridan's brainworms are very much getting in the way of the competence porn he's still quite capable of producing, which is regrettable
yeah i saw that and had a flashback to maggie playing 3.bb5 h5 against me in one of the first iterations of the magnus tour 2020, and how much indignation it produced (not from me, to be clear). in hindsight, that was a show of respect, at least compared to this ;)
