Haha, it's the product name of the ESGE brand. They have various quality grades and the entry model is around 100€. Basically close to professional blender level.

You gotta buy a Zauberstab at some point in your life mate. It does make a juuuge difference.

@ITH thats pretty cool that you can solder stuff back on.

Googling Zauberstab just gives me toy Harry Potter wands lol

Zauberstab translates to magic wand. So he wants you to buy a 'massage toy' from Hitachi.

Remember how in the remastered version of E.T. they removed all the cop's guns and replaced them with hand-held radios?

I have an idea for a remastered cut of Harry Potter...

It's already a pretty popular gag for the books at least

Ron struggled for a moment before managing to extract his willy from his trousers. "It's no wonder I can't get it out, Hermione, you packed my old jeans, they're tight!" "Oh, I'm so sorry," hissed Hermione, and Harry heard her mutter a suggestion as to where Ron could stick his willy instead.

Unbelievable, yeah. Promising enough by the looks of it but agreed to a super short draw. Although he and Karjakin drew game 12 quickly last time as well.

I agree that there was a lot of play left in that game, but it really does bother me when people criticize Grandmasters because they looked at a 3400+ elo engine running on a supercomputer and decided what was happening in a chess game.

Just because stockfish sees a concrete advantage doesn't mean a human can expect to reasonably win a game.

At least there'll be a Svidler video on it to see it played out to some sort of reasonable ending.

all the GM's on the chess.com twitch were also very surprised and said they would def not have offered draw

im not denying it might just be smart by carlsen cuz he obv knows better than me, its just fucking dull and terrible for chess

just saying:

The fact that all 12 games ended in a draw is a pretty unfortunate result I agree, and this draw offer certainly isn't a good look for carlsen.

That's a spicy tweet by kasparov lol.

It is entirely possible that he didn’t feel physically and mentally capable of playing out the game. He saw how much effort it would take to get to the other side and peaced out.

Could be a bit of a mental game shot like "why even play better positions when I think fabi is a free win in rapid" idk

I do hope they reconsider the format for future championships though. Then again, knowing FIDE they'll make it worse in the future xd

I'm not sure what they could change it to realistically. I think the shorter time controls should leave since there are already FIDE world championships for rapid/blitz (I think?) but replacing them with classical games is gonna be a logistics nightmare for tiebreaks.

12 games and then game 13 is "black wins in case of draw" would be interesting but also kinda weird. That being said, that's what they do for armageddon (5 mins as white 4 as black, randomly selected, black wins in case of draw).

I think switching to a system with no tiebreaks at all (6-6 means current champion wins) would also be kinda strange, not sure if players would really go for it.

I was still working and my friend sent me a text "this match is getting lit".
The second I tune in, they shake hands.

I'm sorry for ruining this for you guys.

From my understanding, chess isn’t like competitive sports or even Esports. Like GO and other board games, the players are very much aware when they are out of gas. There is no powering through to the other size and getting back on your game. You just lose.

Yeah nice job, dude. Please wait another four hours next time, I'm sure the game would have had an additional ~5 moves per player in that situation.
