Re: Carlsen withdrawal after loss to Niemann
Maxim Dlugy was/is his (Hans) trainer? Wow...That Name Brings back some memories! Dlugy was a USA born former World Junior Champion and finished 2nd in the US Chess Championships (1984) USCF Chess magazine was in Love with Dlugy (They thought he might be a future World Champion) And the Chess Life Magazine often Published his chess gamesM ANSARI wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 11:05 pmWait ... what ???? Dlugy ... the trainer of Hans Neiman is someone who went to jail for embezzlement?dkappe wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 10:20 pmStop with your gossiping. You’re worse than Nakamura.M ANSARI wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 10:13 pm I absolutely know the difference between Dlugy and Ivanov and remember Dlugy from ICC days... I think there was a Tourney on Chess.com where he was winning everything and got disconnected. There was a big fuss about that at the time of whether he was just disconnected or got cut off by Chess.com. Maybe it was nothing but somehow I remember that and when MC mentioned Dlugy then it did seem to click. If he is now in prison in Russia then I hope it is not because of anything nefarious he did and it is just a political thing. If he is in prison how could he be Hans trainer?
A quick check of Wikipedia and other sources:
Dlugy was imprisoned in Russia in April 2005 on charges of embezzlement, but was acquitted and freed later that year.![]()

Do you know what going to jail for embezzlement means?? It means stealing from someone or from somewhere you work for! I know we have a tough crowd here where cheating is absolutely fine and acceptable ... but sorry to say ... going to jail for embezzlement is not a good sign IMHO!!! Happy for him that he got acquitted nd wouldn't wish a Russian prison on anyone ... but this just got a lot more interesting!

I got crushed a few times in blitz vs Dlugy back in the pre online days. Scary good. Great memory. And much more of a mensch than Magnus.

He is a nice guy and has a lovely family.

Re: Carlsen withdrawal after loss to Niemann
I suppose I'm influenced by Michael Stean's classic book "simple chess" which makes b3 in the Sicilian look like a novice's move due to the backward c pawn. In fact, getting a knight to c4 is Stean's favorite outpost in the Sicilian due to white's inability to (correctly) play b3.Albert Silver wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 7:55 pmWhy?

Personally, it was the opening move 8.Be2 that actually shocked me. The stupidest looking novelty I ever saw, whose only goal seems to be to lose a tempo.
14.b3 on the other hand...wow you have to be sure before playing a move like that. The calculations which followed were flawless.
But here it works, granted.

Re: Carlsen withdrawal after loss to Niemann
Well it seems my memory was correct and I do remember something to do with Dlugy being kicked off a tournament where he was crushing everyone. Maxim Dlugy WAS accused of cheating a while back and while I am not 100% sure ... it is strange that Magnus Carlsen mentions his name ... and also strange that Hans was caught off guard and didn't quite now how to answer the question when asked if he had trainers and who they were! Of course it could be nothing and MC didn't mean anything by it ... but in the interview it sure seems to be a similar comment to his Jose Maurinho comment.
Anyway some of you guys are taking this issue way too personal. I understand how people might have strong views either way and that is totally acceptable ... but let's try and keep this civil and non personal.

From one little post alone...
You sir are what is referred to as a 'significance junkie'. It is littered throughout everything you write.
Harmless and even entertaining to a degree to watch as you would weave together 'meaning' from diverse things.

Re: Carlsen withdrawal after loss to Niemann
Look ... I absolutely see your point of view ... I really do. I probably would be saying the same thing in some instances... but I am more plugged into online chess than you are, and for many years I watched these tourneys ... I do remember many years back about this online cheating by Dlugy. It was not even a sophisticated cheat ... like 98% first engine moves in a bunch of games in a row. I knew some people involved who told me he was banned for cheating. Maybe they were making it up ... but the games are out there and you can check for yourself. As for his embezzlement thing in Russia ... I did mention that if it was politicial stunt by some of Putin's goons then I would disregard it and apparently it was ... so forget about that even though it was unusual ... and with the confirmed cheating maybe even more unusual. But that Dlugy cheated and was caught cheating online and banned... that is not something I made up ... that was something that Chess.com did. Now knowing what I know about that banning, when MC dropped Dlugy's name I immediately thought back to the Chess.com banning Dlugy in that tournament. I had no idea Dlugy was ever involved in anything Hans did. The fact that MC mentioned him as the mentor of Hans might have nothing to do with anything. Also the fact that Chess.com recently bought out MC companies ... so they must be giving him information that we don't see. Remember also that Chess.com also banned Hans for cheating so you really can't blame me for seeing some sort of connection.CornfedForever wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 2:53 pmFrom one little post alone...

Anyway let's see what pans out as I also don't feel comfortable with the situation. You can fast forward to 10:45 and you can maybe get more information about this. I know a lot of you don't want to be on the wrong side of wrongly accusing anyone for anything and I respect that ... but really something is up!
