Magnus wins First Post-World Championship Titled Arena and a Big Event Tomorrow

I'm much more worried about cheating in the incoming agadmator's event. One bitcoin is not nothing!

I didn’t watch but maybe @Buttercup22 ought to be in the press corps. You could then ask him directly if he thinks it was cheating and should result in a ban. His reply would be interesting. Did anyone complain?

If there’s one player that certainly doesn’t need to cheat, it’s the guy that destroys 99.999999% of the chess players on this planet.

JMO.

He doesn't respond very nicely to anyone who doesn't think he is a god like creature who cannot be questioned. I remember in the press conference after the WCC game where he violated touch move a reporter did politely ask him and he just snapped back at the reporter "you can do better" and didn't even answer it. This poor reporter was just doing his job asking him a question that perfectly reasonable to ask and was on the minds of most people following the match and discussed everywhere. To get angry at that reporter was completely inappropriate and just goes to further underline Magnus' extreme arrogance and feeling of entitlement to not play by the same rules as everyone else.
Is it strange that someone with his skill would act like this, well yes and no. Strange since he should do well enough without cheating but completely not surprising when you consider the usual effects that being put on such a high pedestal usually has upon a someone's personality.

Why is magnus making so many accounts here cant he just use his @ drnykterstein one?

Meanwhile, there’s me wondering at the title of the post and how we already know Magnus will win tomorrow. :D

Omg he cheated again? First violating touchmove rule then this? His initials will have to be changed from MC= Magnus Carlsen to MC=Magnus Cheatsen
I wonder how many other important victories including world championships he won by cheating.
I used to hold him in high regard but I just lost all respect for him.

pretty ironic coming from someone who is a cheater himself and his lichess account is red flagged for cheating.

Im worried about that too, but I think many lichess moderators will be watching (mostly untitled players doing very well) but also titled players if they have not been seen before.

In point of fact I was red flagged for sandbagging.

which is also cheating,you violated lichess terms and conditions as well(clearly written in your account),so you are not in the place to call out someone else for cheating,when you are a CHEATER yourself

1. Lichess gets to decide whatever rules for its site. (eg you must have a banana on your head while you play chess)
2. Lichess can call anyone a rule breaker for breaking these rules.

The above two facts do not in any way mean that someone who didn't follow the banana rule cheated. They are a rule breaker not a cheater. Lichess owns it's own rules but it does not own the English language, of which 'cheater' is a word.
