Positives
1. Only 37 seconds long
2. 52 million views - which is really good for a chess video
Negatives
I actually cannot remember having ever watched a worse chess video.

Re: Carlson has no respect
A more appropriate phrase would be the the ladies World Champion has no respect...as is she doesn't get any respect.

There was a young lady of Niger,
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside
And the smile on the face of the tiger.

Re: Carlson has no respect
To be fair, she has a rating of around 2600. That's about 1000 Elo more than I have, so ofc she has my respect as chess player. However, in absolute terms, she is ranked 291st in the world as per FIDE Online. No player around that rank can expect to be recognised in a public event. The only reason why she is somewhat special is because she is a woman - but equal treatment pretty much demands to treat her like any other very good, but irrelevant player in that range, right?

Re: Carlson has no respect
Yeah, that's my guesstimation. I was in the mid-1700s FIDE decades ago when I played in a chess club, but I obviously lost some sharpness. I stand no chance against my engine even when it plays on a Cortex-M4 microcontroller where it should be in the FIDE 2200-2300 range. So, still way below Ju Wenjun.

Re: Carlson has no respect
No way. Even when I played in a club, I was not even close to 2000, and I play worse now.
Fun story, a few years back, I played a much stronger player over the board, he offered a poisened pawn as positional sacrifice, but I didn't capture. I still lost, but he complimented me for not falling for his trap. I answered, oh, the pawn was undefended? Didn't see that.
Around 2700. Chess programming skills mostly don't transfer to actually playing chess.What is your engine rating in CCRL?
