Carlsen withdrew from the tournament the following day — the first time he has ever dropped out of a competition — and tweeted a video of Portuguese soccer manager José Mourinho saying, “If I speak, I am in big trouble.” But Carlsen wasn’t convinced.“His over-the-board progress has been unusual,” he wrote in his statement. “And throughout our game in the Sinquefield Cup I had the impression that he wasn’t tense or even fully concentrating on the game in critical positions, while outplaying me as black in a way I think only a handful of players can do.”Carlsen called cheating an “existential threat” to chess and said he would…

Christian Koloko took advantage of a breakout junior season to jump into the NBA Draft last June, and Henri Veesaar can’t blame him."It’s a great opportunity for him to go to the league for sure," Veesaar said.It’s also a great opportunity for Veesaar to make a significant impact for the Wildcats as a freshman this season. The 7-foot Estonian, demonstrating unusual mobility and ballhandling skills for his size, and junior center Oumar Ballo, picking up where he left off after a strong finish last season, scored 16 points apiece to lead the Blue team to a 49-45 win over the Red in Friday’s Red-Blue Game scrimmage at McKale Center.Combined with 10 points and seven rebounds from in-state 7-foot freshman Dylan Anderson — plus seven points and a perfect dunk contest perfect score from all-leaguer Azuolas Tubelis — the Wildcats demonstrated a notable strength and versatility up front.Even without Koloko."Me, ’Zu, Oumar and Dylan, everybody has their own way, so there’s a lot of versatility in our big guys," Veesaar said. "We can stretch the floor and we can play quick. We just got to pick it up and be better with the ball, make less turnovers." Arizona forward Azuolas Tubelis posted…

An alternative narrative The moment that many in the Twitch gambling world feared has finally come; the streaming platform has decided to ban unregulated online casino content from the site.

Twitch is in hot water again. The embattled streaming platform is currently facing a mass incursion of phony accounts. If Twitch doesn’t find a way to make this fake account epidemic a relic of the past, the platform may very well be in serious trouble. This isn’t necessarily the last nail in Twitch’s coffin, but the platform has already seen some of its most popular streamers express disgust over its most recent exploitation issues.  Dexerto reports a recent tweet by CommanderRoot outlines that in excess of 4 million accounts had shown up during only 24 hours. This seems to confirm that someone on Twitch has found a way to easily mass-produce fake bot accounts with which to flood the platform. This poses a massive issue for Twitch streamers. Traditionally, player counts are based on streamers’ engagement with their followers.  Twitch may be embattled at the moment, but at least the company isn’t silent. In response to both an outcry from the wider Twitch community and CommanderRoot’s tweet, one of the devs at Twitch, RayApollo, has confirmed that Twitch is aware of the issue. Furthermore, he has assured the community that the platform is working in the background to try and…

Doing It for Clout, Money, or What? In a recent stream, xQc, who was among the big proponents of streaming gambling content on the platform with over half a billion dollars wagered while streaming, tried to backtrack on his previous actions without actually backtracking by admitting that what he had been doing was “wrong.” He was quick to say that his backtracking was not like other streamers’ backtracking when they found themselves being called out a lot by their audience for doing something that is not good by noting that he would not backtrack on his views on the subject. xQc also commented in his stream on other popular streamers who already stated their views that gambling content on Twitch is detrimental to the audiences, stating that they were doing this to appease the public rather than share their genuine attitude. He did not mention any names but it was obvious he was referring to…
