    I’m a big fan of Magnus. Dude is overall a good role model, respectful and serious most of the time, while also being meme-ey, approachable and fun. Unique playstyle to boot.

    He’s actually largely responsible for me personally starting to pay attention to the game again. I hadn’t even played in years.

    Tyler1 is playing chess now?

    I don’t know how to feel about this.

    Okay, fair enough, I can see there being some transferrable skills.

      It’s been pretty incredible. He started from absolutely nothing, just ground the everliving hell out of the game, and after a year he’s… good.

    I think the rumors about this one guy cheating by allegedly putting something up his ass really resonated with a new generation.
