^ if maybe you feel like paying attention
it strikes me that so much of this match is like doing preparation with computers and then trying to end up in a line that you have already prepared for. it feels like both players are trying really hard to be the first to make a non-standard move that's still good because then the opponent has to think about the thing you did that's unusual whereas you have already scouted it.
i'm pretty convinced that if you could play chess perfectly it would be a draw.

Re: chess
from the point of view of promoting chess as a spectator sport, i think it's easy to fault him
but you can't fault him from the "playing to win" point of view, which is what he should care about
imo seems like they should just play more rapid games instead of classical games if you want to make it more exciting for spectators

Re: chess
it's similar, but playing the rapid games first mean that the deciding game is always a classical one, so someone will have to try to attack with the long time controls
Re: chess
i think the current format makes way more sense. if someone just wins the classical portion, then the rapid games don't end up meaning anything (yeah i know it maybe affects match strategy or whatever). plus it's possible that the rapid games portion ends up tied anyway (the existing format solves this with an armageddon game (iirc: black gets less time, but wins the match if the game is drawn))

somehow i'm sort of enjoying playing chess

i think the biggest thing is that website can analyze your games so you can see where you fucked up; that makes me feel like at least i'm learning something as opposed to just fucking up favorable positions and not being sure where i went wrong
edit: so basically it seems like the easiest way to improve would be to get much better at tactics. then you can just take people to complicated positions and find a big advantage

The game's about to start and I have to place 5 pieces and I'm like "and that's the tea...." and then place 5 queens
