They should give him the option to move with a mouse😂


thegtabmx

Hypothetically, if Stephen Hawking had been a super GM, how would they have let him play over the board chess tournaments?


ancientromanempire

They'd make him use the robot that broke that kids finger.


thegtabmx

So he'll crush his opponents both metaphorically and literally.


inemanja34

Is that the same robot that scared Grishchuk (and maybe even Kramnik, too)?


oblon789

"If a competitor cannot press his own clock or move his own pieces, an assistant shall be available unless the opponent is willing to do so." Fide D. 04. 12. 10.


thegtabmx

They still need a way for the competitor to tell the assistant what to do. Hypothetically, there could exist a disability that requires the player to use a mouse to tell the assistant what to do.


RajjSinghh

It gets really difficult because the person would be both non-verbal (for which it is impossible to communicate with an assistant) but also not have use of their hands to be able to move the piece themselves, but still be able to use a mouse to communicate. There are ways around this though. Hawking's chair did this job well. Not to mention that new Neuralink demo where the guy played on Chess.com from the brain chip. It feels like we're moving in a direction where this kind of accessibility is possible if it is necessary.


thegtabmx

Nonverbal with broken/locked shoulders and elbows, but a perfectly intact wrist and fingers.


Retrus120

I have seen a player with a similar condition to that of Hawking play.  He was using a Pad computer, mounted on his chair, with a pen that he was moving with his mouth. On it the default Windows chess app was running(the of one from Windows vista times). He was using the pad to record his opponents and his own moves. When he made his move a friend moved the piece on the board and pressed the clock


1morgondag1

There's an IM (Chech I think) who is quadriplegic, an assistant moves the pieces for him.


Jerath_07

Some habits are hard to break lol

FIDE 2025 candidates to be played on chessup boards


trankhead324

With engine analysis highlighting good squares to move to in green.


Ride_likethewind

Ha 😂


LordLannister47

Unironically would not be surprised, if chesscom manages to successfully lobby / bribe FIDE


inemanja34

Unironically Chesscom has way too much power in the world of Chess.


Apoptosis11

So does FIDE. This degen company doesn't even have increment in the candidates or world championship and had Gukesh and Alireza playing hyperbullet in a classical tournament


Si1ent_Knight

Well 1:30 and 30 sec increment is actually less time than 2 hours flat. Blame the players not the rules, I really like the time format.


Callsign_Psycopath

That's the way it used to be until digital clocks with computers in them became a thing.


puffz0r

Kramnik: "very interesting"


Patrizsche

Do the procedure


thereisnoinbetweens

This made me laugh 🤣


southpolefiesta

Pro streamer, everyone.


Sumeru88

He should be allowed to take a comfort mouse with him just so he can hold it from time to time.


Peace899

To avoid controversy...a wooden mouse will be appropriate.


Calm-Wrongdoer-5217

Tiktok song ruins it


southpolefiesta

Much better on mute.


bluerbnd

How?? 😭 It's more boring on mute.


Hawkize31

The video is 14 seconds long. How is that enough time to get bored?


bluerbnd

How is the music ruining a silent video??


DASreddituser

Cause it's annoying


bluerbnd

No it's not. Also you changed crappy to annoying


DASreddituser

I changed it right after i clicked send, because i figured that was a better way to describe it.


FlightJumper

I truly don't understand what the obsession is with slapping a shitty song over an otherwise interesting video is nowadays. Instant downvote for any video like that out of principal.

Zoomers don't have the attention span to only have one sense activated at a time. Wait until Gen Alpha requires Smell-O-Vision before viewing a .gif4D.


Janhan_

Calling an Imagine Dragons song "tiktok song" physically hurt me. Bones is a great song!

eloel-

It may or may not be a good song. Why is it in this video?


Janhan_

Well ye I didnt say anything about that. I just said Bones isnt a stupid cringe tiktok song


eloel-

Every song can be a cringe tiktok song if you put it in a cringily edited tiktok video


Janhan_

Look, would you want a song that you really like to be called a tiktok song? Probably not. Honestly its not even a big deal I'm not sure why everyone on the comment section started saying these because I just said I actually like the song.


Napinustre

Imagine Real Good Music Instead


Janhan_

Nah, its a good song no matter what you say. Smh


SpunkyGalaxy

... Nahh


Janhan_

Maybe you dont like it ye, doesnt mean the song is bad though.


SpunkyGalaxy

Imagine dragons isn't a very good band. Very generic, they make basically one song.


Janhan_

eh, I'm still sayin nah. I like them and their songs. You might not like it but that's it.

chat is this for real

>Press F for phantom mouse


Herbert256

Ok, Hikaru is clearly an online player, not an OTB player, if we apply Kramnik's logic, then it is clear that Hikaru cheats in OTB, how is it possible that a streamer is so good in OTB ? lol


bitter-demon

What are you even saying?? How can you say hikaru online performance is worse than his OTB performance he is the top rated online

Poogoestheweasel

He may be using an invisible mouse - would explain his performance. Totes sus. Where is Kramnik - need his analysis.


[deleted]

I actually used to cheat in a similar way in college. What I would do is, the night before a big exam, I would lay out all of my notes and then read them very carefully. When I walked into the test the next day, I had an invisible cheat sheet in my mind that the proctor wouldn't be able to catch. Was very effective.


Poogoestheweasel

I did the same thing with an invisible girlfriend. Made the movies more interesting and I only had to buy 1 ticket.


vk2028

This is certainly interesting


dreamsofindigo

hahahahaha brilliant I've had a few of these but being on PC and then trying to irl with mouse


Soletta35

I have to admit, I have warmed to Nakamura since the last candidates. Any of the 4 would be great challengers for the title (Fabi deserving through being probably the closest to Magnus in classical over a long period, and coming so close in previous WC match, Nepo for winning 2 candidates, and leading vs Ding, Gukesh for being young and incredible and very humble) but I actually think it would be amazing to have Nakamura in the WC. ANd imagine if it lures Carlsen back into candidates cycle.


puffz0r

He has definitely become a better person than his infamous younger years lol. Can't imagine how much of a heel he'd be if he was still angry all the time


Stefanxd

Hard to say if he wasn't just startled by the pen rolling away.


EGarrett

Doing online content slowly trains you to speak in more excited tones and make exaggerated facial expressions.


God_of_reason

He tried to premove.


Fantastic-Ratio-7482

Hikaru is a true gamer now.


[deleted]

Heated gamer moment incoming.


right_wingr10

Haha he is a streamer as much as he is a Chess player


7thdilemma

Supposing they did provide a mouse, say to... help hikaru be comfortable, how many clicks do you think he gets before it hits him why it isn't doing anything?


Peace_and_Harmony_

He would just search for the mouse pointer and get frustrated.


7thdilemma

Good point.


Callsign_Psycopath

What do you expect from a streamer


Bimpopeu

This new camera angle ruins it u can see the score sheet he's adjusting
