Wesley simply didn't want to catch glimpse of Hikaru's weird expressions. What a game... Loved it. And as always Sagar Shah rocks with his Tony Greig-like commentary in end game keeping audience on the edge of their seats.

@@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar This is basic communication style.. Here my definition "This is not a game" sentence has been used to portray something bigger than the game.. Just like "It is not water, in fact it is our life".. According to my understanding "art" word is perfectly used here.. But yes you can differ according to your understanding of "art".. As a single word can describe different expressions..

@@Not-You-Tuber “This is basic communication style” makes it OK to assert that the King of all games is NOT a game. Your claim that art is bigger than chess just means that you like the nebulous notion of art as much as chess players like the concreteness and fairness of chess. In your world most anything can be labeled as “art”. Even your handle NotKZfaqr shows how distorted your sense of language is as you freely use KZfaq while claiming you don’t. No doubt very far to the left on political spectrum. I am happy that art makes you happy

A doubt: when they hold hands (apart from a tie), how do we know who won and who lost?

@MrHuddo Жыл бұрын

Often if one player offers their hand first they're resigning. However, if they both sort of look at each other than shake hands it's almost always a draw agreement. No concrete rules in the way the hands are shaken, more of a tacit understanding that the position is a draw.

@dkant4511 Жыл бұрын

It's also obvious especially whenever Hikaru loses

@GuitarGuy190 Жыл бұрын

When it's a draw, one person usually offers it. So you can look out for someone's lips moving if they're the one offering the draw. The opponent usually nods in this case. If it's a resignation, the person who is losing will usually offer up their hand first.

@manqobamagawu225 Жыл бұрын

Oftentimes the first player to offer a hand is resigning Although this is just a formality Every move is actually recorded,,so even if there's no handshake It's always known who lost

@UnknownString88 Жыл бұрын

Apart from body language showing the difference between giving up or agreement, it's mostly about the position. These high level players are aware of the state at all times, so if an offer is made in a losing position, it's understood as a resignation. Likewise, if the position is equal and the game is not progressing, it's clearly a draw.

Wesley will just push a3. If hikaru plays gxf5, Wesley's king will just capture the rook. In case hikaru plays Bxf5, white will just capture it with his bishop. Then if hikaru captures with a pawn, same scenario as ive stated above. And if hikaru captures the bishop via a rook. Then, wesley will just push the pawn to a2. Even if hikaru didn't capture with a rook and decide to prevent the pawn from promoting. At the end, wesley still has a major advantage having two major pieces.
