I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve made this point, but please take this as a WARNING, and not merely an observation: Anti-social behavior—think about the guy blasting music from a speaker, talking loudly on speaker-phone, smoking inside the subway car, etc.—in public spaces is often engaged in ***_as a dare_***. The whole point is to provoke anger and annoyance in those around him, which serves two purposes, depending on the response he’s hoping for: (1) If everyone bites their tongues, the antisocial asshole gets to tell himself he’s such a badass no one would dare speak up; or (2) If someone confronts him, he finds his excuse to scratch a violent itch. Understand that saying something to these people will often come with a real risk of violent confrontation.

Qf7 !=💔

🇺🇿 Nodirbek Abdusattorov: "I wasn't surprised by Magnus' performance at Norway Chess" Nodirbek Abdusattorov on 🇳🇴 Magnus Carlsen's performance at Norway Chess: "I think one of the main moments of the tournament was Magnus's unsuccessful performance. Of course, in such an incredibly strong and very young line-up of participants, I think he was under some pressure. And I think he also lacked game practice. To be honest, I didn't understand why he was trying to play for victory and engage in a no-compromise struggle in literally every game when it was completely unnecessary and illogical. I really respect his chess, his fighting spirit and his desire to fight in every game. But I think even this tournament showed that it's necessary to maintain balance and objectivity. Already then, I think, certain weaknesses in Magnus's game became noticeable. And Norway Chess just clearly showed the consequences of this. So for me, such a result was not a surprise. Today, classical chess is very demanding. To play well, you really need to be as focused as possible and work very hard. If you lack practice and a sense of classical chess, it's very difficult to return to a high level."
