Hey would it be possible to for you to write an explainer about what the fuck is going on with chess right now?

aw man so like

this is so stupid

So there's a chess tournament going on right now, the Sinquefield Cup, all of the best players in the world are playing in it, including Magnus Carlsen, the current world champion and arguably the greatest chess player who ever lived. Also playing is kind of a random dude: Hans Niemann, a new grandmaster who wouldn't ordinarily have qualified to play in the event except that the guy who should have been there (Ding Liren) is Chinese, and right now China has a ton of travel restrictions in place that made his attendance impossible.

Hans Niemann is the lowest rated player at the tournament. And he beat Magnus Carlsen. He is the first person in 53 straight games of classical over the board chess to beat Magnus Carlsen.

The next day, Magnus Carlsen withdrew from the tournament (this hardly ever happens), and made a tweet that implied that he thought Niemann had cheated. No formal accusations of cheating have been made: Carlsen has made no further comment on the topic.

So of course everyone's lost their minds about it. It turns out, Niemann has a history of cheating...online, as a teenager, which like, enh, but okay. When the best chess player in the world suggests you might have cheated, like - you can't just write that off, you know? He's also gained, like, a lot of rating points over the past year. Like a lot a lot. Idk if the numbers mean anything to you, but he's gone from 2484 to over 2700 since January 2021, which is kind of nuts.

On the other hand, he's genuinely a really talented player. And there's no actual evidence that he's cheated. Like, people have come up with all kinds of stupid theories for how he could have cheated, from "someone on Magnus Carlsen's team leaked Magnus's prep to him" (which is so unlikely, a top performing chess player's team is an incredibly tight knit group, and what would they stand to gain?) to "Hans Niemann had inserted ceramic vibrating anal beads up his ass that were telling him the best moves in morse code" which like, I think is just a meme?? but god knows.

And that's kind of where we're at now. We don't know if Niemann cheated and we probably never will. If he didn't cheat, I feel horrible for him. His reputation has been destroyed because Magnus Carlsen vaguetweeted after dropping out of a tournament. If he did cheat, that's very troubling for chess as a sport, because if we don't know how he did it, and we have no way of proving it, how will we keep it from happening again?

you need to understand that sometimes a character says or does something shitty cause theyre a shitty person. and sometimes a character says or does something shitty cause the author is a shitty person and theyre projecting their shitty views on the character but its not the characters fault. theyre just a victim of Written By A Gross Dude

Hey. Large chest people that want it to be smaller and flatter. I have a tip for you.

I am a trans man. I have an h cup chest. That is not a typo, not a brag, and not an invitation to sexually harass me. This means I have about 4 pounds of breast. This means that binders do not work for me. There’s not enough structure in the compression to keep that much weight in place.

I wore a sports bra under my binder, for a time- it kept things in place, and the binder flattened. This isn’t really safe and I recommend against it. It also never actually got me looking masc- I tended to look like I had between a c or b cup. TransTape I discarded too- it’s just not sturdy enough.

Enter Enell. Specifically, the Enell Sport High Impact Bra.

I want you to look at the construction of that sports bra. It clasps in the front. This flattens the chest. And since it’s a sports bra designed for busty people, it LOCKS everything in place. When I wear my Enell sports bra, I do not bounce. It also gets me looking like I have an a cup at worst- and at best, when I layer, I actually look masc.

Admittedly, they’re not cheap. That one’s 66$. But I’ve tried even custom binders, and they don’t work as well as Enell. I was actually contemplating a custom built corset before I found Enell. Enell is also much, much safer than layering compression, since it is being used as intended (sort of). As a bonus, you can actually exercise in it- it’s a sports bra!

I will note that they use their own sizing system, so you will have to measure yourself.

Happy binding!
