As long as Magnus is unwilling to play a game against Hans, he should outright refuse to play in any tournament where Hans is known to participate.
Entering with the intention to throw a game is a dick move that causes unnecessary drama, unfairness in the results, and biases in rating computations.
- richwater 4y agoNah fuck that. Magnus is the greatest he's not at the whims of some shithead.
- dimator 4y agoWhat?? Why would he exclude himself from tournament winnings, assuming he can still place strongly with 1 resignation?
- tzs 4y agoThere are other players in a tournament besides Hans and Magnus. It's not unfair to those other players for Magnus to give Hans a point for free but make them work hard to try to earn a point from him. If it keeps up there will be tournaments where Hans beats out someone else for prize money where his free point from Magnus is what puts him ahead of that other person.
