Carlsen is in the lead in the Qatar Masters, with 5 points after 6 out of 9 rounds.
Giri, Kramnik and So are all at 4.5, along with ten other strong grandmasters.
Carlsen has white against Giri in round 7 tomorrow. That is bound to be interesting.

Shouldn't a computer be #1?
>>64467534
Does the list over the fastest marathon times include automobiles?
>That is bound to be interesting.
lol
does Giri stand a reasonable chance
>>64468143
Indeed he does. He's the only player in the top ten with a plus score against Carlsen, with one win, a bucket of draws (ten, if I'm not mistaken) and no losses in classical tournament games.
Is any game going on right now?
>>64468228
No, it's 2 in the night in the civilized parts of the world.
>>64467602
not really a solid analogy
a better one would be autonomous cars vs rally drivers or such
>>64469312
No way. A self driving car would never beat a rally driver but the best chess engines are ranked 3300 so they would beat carlsen. The previous analogy was more appropriate
would carlsen actually do well in chess960? i doubt it
>>64471111
He would probably do even better than in standard chess. He excels in unknown, original positions.
>>64468143
Yes.
Big-brain shootout is gonna be great.

>A self driving car would never beat a rally driver
Laughable.
In 10 years there won't be a rally driver that can touch an autonomous vehicle in a race.
Surely you can see that.
Understanding chess at this high level has always struck me as an incredibly autistic thing.

Wei Yi is coming for him
