Because he is a self-confirmed cheater and they have computer models to show the best move you can make in chess. They saidthe best players play 70% optimally. The best player of all time played 72%. Now this guy is running through tournaments at 100% at times or making moves that are correct but are so outside of the box.

At first glance, poker and chess are polar opposites, but the road to excellence in both is the common thread of pattern recognition.

If I were to play with Ivey, much prefer to have it all riding on the one hand; as you say, anything could happen. While I have played poker for many years and often against pros, I do not delude myself over the almost certain outcome in a longer encounter with the great man.

Even then he would beat you. I used to know a top ranked woman chess player. She would drunk dial guys she knew and invite them over and beat them in chess. She had me down three pawns after twenty moves and I resigned.

Truth tbh. I've played many a drunken chess player and they might not be great, but they still have a certain level. I like to think of it like this - if you get drunk enough, you might have trouble operating a pen, but you're still not going to just mis-spell words that you know. Chess moves are like that once you reach a certain level - you might pass out at the board, or knock over all the pieces, but you're still going to make good moves when you do move.

my time has come

because the poker community is mostly losing recs?

Your avatar speaks for itself.

same in chess, even more so online.

Fischer vs Spassky for WC in 1972 ; match was built up to be THE sporting event during the cold war, with Fischer having Kissinger calling him to make sure he participates.
Karpov vs. Kasparov for WC in 1984 ; both sides working with KGB spies, mentalists and the whole charade ending with the corrupt FIDE president finally aborting the match.
Karpov vs Korchnoi both matches ; KGB threatening the defector Korchnois family.
Kramnik vs Topalov for WC in 2006 ; Topalovs coach accusing Kramnik of cheating without any evidence (toiletgate).

amazing research on the external factors and drama in chess my friend (btw, these are WC matches only. could write a whole book on fischers incidents outside of his only match alone).

If the psycho donk wins the good player's money, that is more money for psycho donk to donate to the "Poker Community."

Why do people use such pompous language?

I love it when the limit holdem players call themselves “experts”. Always got a kick out of that one.
