Congrats for Magnus for winning tournament
@Buttercup22 ive never laughed so much.. honestly. Done the lichess community a favour. Gave other players wins they didn’t deserve. I am splitting my sides.
The only thing missing from your account is another badge.. (I see you think you can gain some moral authority by reporting comments you don’t like, so rather than put what I’m thinking, along with everyone else, I’ll let you work it out for yourself’).
I'm surprised that Lichess hasn't taken action over this, it is so clearly "cheating" in a technical sense, regardless of what you think of the morality /rights / wrongs of the situation. Magnus is the "driver" here, he is the one responsible for his actions during a game, noone else. It's his "fault" for having people sit in and watch games. By the argument of some people above, move suggestions are apparently not the player's fault - why then should streamers bother to turn off chat during competitive games? May as well leave it on and benefit from third party suggestions.
If this is allowed, then what is to stop a lower rated player asking a GM to sit in with them and make move suggestions, perhaps during today's $60k tournament? There is no difference other than the fact that Magnus is a world champion. One rule for them etc...
Great tournament

Lucky us that Carlsen doesn't mind a few people commenting out of anger and frustration, his answer here would be 'do better!' like he told to a journalist accusing him of cheating in Dubai.
This video was so funny, amazing and instructive in itself that we should pay him 500 dollars only to have it posted online as he did for free. That video shows with all evidence that if Carlsen sat alone in complete concentration he would win maybe 100% of games. Yeah, he cheated by drinking and fooling around all the time, for benefit of his opponents.

I'm glad I was able to make your day for you. Another reason you owe me your gratitude, although I don't expect to get any given your past behavior.
>The only thing missing from your account is another badge..
Yes I agree, a moderator badge would give me more powers to deal with some of the problem actors around this place but been there done that, I don't mod for free these days.

If you think I will report a comment like yours it's you that needs to work things out for yourself. The other comment clearly was a violation of TOS and while your comment is a poorly thought out and a little obnoxious, unfortunately that doesn't meet the threshold that Lichess has set out for actionability. I will let you know when you've reached that point.

Your understanding is way off. He cheated by having assistance.
> Lucky us that Carlsen doesn't mind a few people commenting out of anger and frustration, his answer here would be 'do better!' like he told to a journalist accusing him of cheating in Dubai.
So he does mind. Nice contradiction there. Of all the nerve, when you've been caught cheating to tell the person asking you about it to do better. The level of entitlement of this guy is unfathomable.

Ok send him your money if that's what gets you off.
@Buttercup22
Okay, I see your thoughts..... You really mean that Magnus is bad? Like, Magnus doesn't need any help by others, because he is the best that ever is and will ever be. The only thing that can possibly help him is a computer. But did he use any computer? No.
So why do you keep arguing about this dumb thing? Maybe he is allowed to it due to stuff we don't know about. It's his thing, and if it would be illegal or bad, Lichess would definitely take care of it.
And at last, I think you should talk to others as a human. You're not the king, you're not god. You are just a normal human, just like me and others. Everyone is worth the same, so let's talk in that way!
I hope we all can stop arguing about this now :) Have a good day further!
Congrats to Magnus of a well played Titled Arena!
Wait a minute. Does other participants have cameras open? If not, end of discussion. Magnus does not cheat here.

Yes, all other members have they camera closed, so nobody sees what they actually does! I think it's brave and good of Magnus to show everybody that he ain't cheating.
I hope I understood ur question, if else, correct me :)
