"Magnus thinks he's Hikaru?" Hikaru constantly trying to insert himself in the same category as Magnus is beyond delusional. Magnus is the best of all time, highest rated of all time, 5 world championships, 5 rapid world championships, 7 blitz world championships, World Cup winner and Hikaru winning zero of those events. Hikaru stop embarrassing yourself. Magnus is on another level.

Hikaru. Linebackers play on the defensive side of the ball. The term you’re looking for is lineman, which is pretty general. The positions that block for the ball carrier on screens are typically centers, guards, tackles or tight ends.

You can go to almost any prize tournament where ordinary titled players play (not only the top GM) and you can see in almost all of these tournaments, if not in all, there are clear cheating problems. In prize events with "mediocre" titled players this is classic and Kramnik is completely right about it. I come right now from the actual titled tuesday tournament and i have seen very weird stuff there (and players that had cheating scandals in the past playing the titled tuesday (not very well known)). Kramnik was clearly wrong with Nakamura, but there is a huge problem with cheating in chess, specially now that computers destroy humans at chess. In the past it was an issue but today is a plague since anyone can cheat with AI (even with human style of play)
