@drewlevin Well my friend, i aint rage baited or anything. Playing Rank is the worst experience i have had in my life +8 years of playing the game. It kinda feels like i am signing myself up for torture and mental/emotional damage when i que up for rank with your improvements!

product management tip: ragebaiting your user base/player base by making inaccurate claims about the quality of your systems is an incredibly fast way of identifying current problems with your software that you can then prioritize fixes for easily the top reason I’m on here

@drewlevin @Weaglelol Non of that in my normal ass plat games. Dont even enjoy playing Ranked anymore. You guys turned rank into a place where only top of the ladder actually enjoys it and gets support. Not the majority of your players.And Mayhem was made to basically people go there instead of quitng

@Weaglelol no one even pressed a button, the system recognized a number of behavioral factors and did it automatically (and 100% got it right) that’s what we’re working towards

League community is so insufferable, everyone complains for seasons that soft inting is a problem so they ban a high profile person soft inting both rightfully and to make an example and now people are still complaining holy fuck you people are drones

@cyrusofnara If only he knew we existed

firouzja pleaseeee can he lock in 😭

@ImShahinyan Amazing personality

@pvarshh @Creator1413715 @anishgiri Okay Parnav Varshney with a cat on profile picture hating on Alireza. I believe you

@noclearframe @Creator1413715 @anishgiri Shits not even about being Indian lmao, alireza is just ass. Just chatting to chat

Give me your list of 10 strongest chess players right now, classical time control. I want your (highly objective) opinion.

@Creator1413715 @pvarshh @anishgiri These indian Alireza haters are not for discussion mate.

@pvarshh @noclearframe @anishgiri He made into two back to back candidates and barely missed the third one though lacking all the motivation and going through the worst mental state he ever had for the format he still made it and was never in the last position in any candidates. Pipe it down now.

@chesscom Not chesscom.

chess changed his life

@MrFeuer99 @anishgiri Thats the point. "These days" is irrelevant in evaluating classical chess performance

@noclearframe @anishgiri I would put Nodirbek and Javokhir over Fabiano these days.

@ShreeVanda4 @anishgiri I'd put Alireza only below Magnus man if it was any other day . No one Tops our boy when he is at his best. The chosen prince.

@noclearframe @anishgiri Interesting Alireza over Keymer and Giri

@Arpit668128 @anishgiri And he barely qualified for candidates, until @anishgiri sabotaged it by his Sicilian giga Draw approach.

@noclearframe @anishgiri alireza didn't played much played grand swiss and lcc only recently

@Xaviers_brain @anishgiri Fabi Listens to Tool. So he always gets the pass haha

@noclearframe @anishgiri I would switch Sindarov over Caruana

@pvarshh @anishgiri Believe me man. Im a Veteran Alireza Fan since he was a baby. So Believe me if i'd say i would love him to see only below magnus if not above him. But Rn, he needs to find some love for Classical chess. He is second best in Rapid and Blitz in the world of course. Unmatched

@noclearframe @anishgiri Alireza at 5 is genuinely the worst take ever

@IndieChess @GMJSindarov Aks him if he knows that Jovakhir in persian means <جواهر> and that means " Jewel " 💎

Reply with something you want to ask or tell Sindarov. I’ll pick the top few to show him tomorrow, and record his reaction.

A deal - MUST - include a solution to this oppression.

@IRANinZIMBABWE Can you please give the people of Iran free internet and freedom of speech so the great people of Iran can for themselves acknowledge that our country is far greater than wishing for its destruction! Free the political prisoners, speak to them in peace , and diplomacy! n/rage

One could only imagine.

@chessdom How insane it is to see him supported by his country so genuinely. One could only imagine how Alireza Firouzja would rise if he would've gotten the same support from IRAN and not being have to immigrate to France !!!!

Javokhir Sindarov 🇺🇿 returns home and is met as a national hero

@chess24com @DavidHowellGM Name me one person cuter and smarter than David Howl in chess. He indeed is from Ghibili world hahaha

David reveals that, maybe because of chess terminology, he was in his late teens before he realized dragons don't exist! Judit: "David, dragons are real—only the fire doesn't come from their mouth!" #FIDECandidates

@TakeTakeTakeApp Chesscom will turn into Facebook in couple of years. Or maybe Linkedin of Chess.

Goodbye, Titled Tuesday.
