Can we edit the title to say "Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomnitchi play the longest world chess championship game"?
- yyyk 5y agoYou have a good point, however HN etiquette is to be as close to the original headline as possible. Perhaps there should have an exception for sports.
- Rexxar 5y agoI can understand "spoil" for films, book, games but this is just sport news.
- gpm 5y agoChess is different from other sports in that watching it "live" isn't really the best way to experience it. Half the time you'd be looking at a chess board with no one around it, and you don't get to spend time thinking where you want to think, you have to spend it where the players decided to. Lots of people are going to instead watch the game later, at their own pace, watching someone analysis of the game, or doing their own. It's not entirely unreasonable to not want that spoiled.
