🧵A #Patzer's humble take on #Carlsen

I watched Carlsen’s games for the first time back in 2016 during his match w/ #Karjakin.

I have been following his performance ever since and I’ve never been able to shake off the feeling, even for a second, that he is to modern chess what Dr. Lasker used to be to chess during his long chess career: “never losing his head” as Tartakower once said.

#Schach-Nation #Russland von der #Fide gebannt.

So etwas werden wir vom #IOC oder #FIFA nie lesen, denn dort hat man sein Herz gegen ein Bankkonto getauscht.
