I'm sick of the accusations from Carlson and Nakamura. They cannot lose without crying about it. Even if the guy wasn't wearing an ANALOG watch there'd still be insinuations or accusations of cheating as we've seen in the last few years. Unless you have actual proof or a legit reason to believe there's cheating, losing a game is NOT a legit reason for the record, you need to keep your mouth shut. There are 0 inaccuracy games on their level all the time so that's not a good reason either when both players are at such a high caliber. Accept the loss with grace and class, this is becoming an annual thing whenever a sore loser gets beat. It's creating a negative reputation and to date none of these recent (I know there have been situations in the past before I get flamed) accusations have provided anything substantial. Every time someone beats Magnus bad, especially in classical, you can guarantee there's a cheating accusation. Nakamura is worse and has had a few instances of consequences from chess.com due to his false accusations only to be reversed when they looked into it and realized there was no cheating taking place. Add that into the fact that he never hears an accusation that he doesn't endorse, he was fuel to the fire on the last one and I'm sure he'll pick this up and promote the accusation like he does every time. It's classless and promoting the optics that cheating OTB is a regular occurrence in chess, which I don't believe is true and hope I'm right.
Terms depicting violence or being mean should not be used to describe chess players. In this title "get crushed" depicts violence; chess should not be seen as violent or reflecting someone intelligence.
As it said in the intro, Carslen train of thoughts was disrupted by the analog watch...a very human behavior leading to loose, not get crushed.

Bobby Fischer played the Game of the Century at age 13 and no one accused him of cheating...

Well back then,there were no ways to cheat like today.I mean Bobby couldn't have cheated.Now,it is a real danger threatening chess and we must find good ways of dealing with it.

Reminds me of the time Alireza Firouzja got mad after getting flagged by Magnus and accused him of distracting him by "speaking Norwegian" during the game.

On the last puzzle, I would personally play Knc6 and then after Carlson moves his queen, I would play Kne7 which gives check to the opposing king which then allows you to take his queen after Black's Knxd6. This would bring about a huge advantage.

Why did @supermark1414 say “ Bruh.”
