Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating all top male players! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to correct mistakes and say facts, you are like a sexist crying that i never played men! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good female competitor, i can win any man in the world in single game! And "n"etflix is nobody for me, just a company who are spreading false information, ( remember what you say about caro kann ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to court hearing match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000000$ and winner takes it all!

I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 60s and 70s tournaments, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Nona Gaprindashvili is always play men ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true!

Some guy wrote about chess and piss for a newspaper

At the end of the third game of the World Chess Championship, defending champion Magnus Carlsen looked crestfallen. He wasn’t upset about the result (the third draw in a row) or about the length of time that the game took (a grueling 2 hours and 45 minutes). Rather, Magnus was mad that he had to pee in a cup.

It seems that in its eternal mission to place chess in the international sporting pantheon alongside the World Cup and the Olympics, the International Chess Federation, usually known by its French acronym FIDE, has opted to institute the seemingly ridiculous anti-doping tests for chess. Not quite a World Cup, rather more of a World C-U-P.

Ian Nepomniachtchi, Magnus’ challenger, made a couple of quips about the testing at the post game press conference, but he knows all too well to take doping seriously. While Carlsen is allowed to play under Norway’s flag, Ian’s Russian flag has been banned from all international competitions following the 2019 report of state-sponsored doping. Like Russian athletes in the Olympics, Ian has had to play under a pseudo-Russian banner.

The history of cheating and chess is rich, but has far more to do with computers than with pharmaceuticals. Basically any piece of electronics is capable of running a program (called an “engine”) that is dozens of times better than any humanoid, so most efforts go into making sure that online players haven’t used computer assistance. This spring saw the clearly documented case of a billionaire obviously and sadly using a machine to defeat former World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand. Sometimes, accusations can get outlandish: the International Master Anna Rudolph of Hungary was once accused of hiding an engine in her lip balm (?!) but nobody in the community has ever cried foul about the use of performance-enhancing substances. It feels like a non-issue, and even if it were, who would care?

Not Queen’s Gambit’s Beth Harmon, that’s for sure. Would everybody’s favorite fictional  phenom have ever made it out of Kentucky if arbiters had asked her to take a drug test at each tournament? When I sit down to play a game (or twenty) online, I fully expect that whatever Russian teenager I’m playing is fully wired on watered-down adderall and Alenka, and more power to them!

Magnus later told the media that his frustration with the test was because it would cause him to miss a football match he wanted to watch, which raises some questions about the duration of a urine test. He was quite m

Netflix Sued By Female Chess Champ Over The Queen's Gambit

While fictional chess champ Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) plays in the Moscow invitational in the final climactic episode of the series, an announcer refers to Gaprindashvili by name, noting that she’s the “female world champion and has never faced men.”

Gaprindashvili, 80, who lives in Tbilisi, Georgia, was the first woman in the world to be named a grandmaster. By 1968, the year in which the episode is set, Gaprindashvili had “competed against at least 59 male chess players (28 of them simultaneously in one game), including at least ten grandmasters of that time,” including Boris Spassky, states the defamation suit filed Thursday in federal district court in Los Angeles. “The last three were also world champions during their careers ... she beat some of the best male chess players in the world.”

The court action is seeking millions of dollars in damages for what it calls a “devastating falsehood, undermining and degrading her accomplishments before an audience of many millions” — and calls for the line about Gaprindashvili not facing men to be removed.

When Gaprindashvili contacted Netflix to ask for a public correction and apology, it refused to do so, according to the suit. It called the line diminishing Gaprindashvili’s career — in a series largely about sexism in the chess world — “innocuous,” the lawsuit stated. The suit calls the response “shockingly tone deaf,” as well as offensive and sexist

Como se chamam e para que servem esses símbolos «»?

Fui ler O Estrangeiro (Camus) com uma tradução portuguesa e vi esses símbolos («») serem usados. O google me recomendou um artigo português, fui ler e lá estavam eles de novo. Tô lendo Aforismos e Afins (um compilado português de aforismos do Pessoa, também português) e mais uma vez os benditos apareceram kkkkk

Eu colei os símbolos no google e deu "0 resultados encontrados". Notei um padrão no uso, eles parecem ser usados pra títulos de livros, filmes e tudo mais (substitutos das aspas?), mas não tenho certeza. Se alguém puder responder, eu agradeço.

Pra quem nunca viu esses símbolos sendo usados, aqui vai um exemplo tirado de uma notícia portuguesa: "A primeira xadrezista grã-mestre no mundo, Nona Gaprindashvili, está a processar a plataforma de streaming Netflix por difamação na série «Gambito de Dama» («The Queen´s Gambit» no original)."

Former Soviet chess master sues Netflix over 'sexist' line in 'Queen's Gambit'

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 29%. (I'm a bot)


> A former Soviet chess master is suing Netflix over a line in last year's popular series "The Queen's Gambit," in which fictional characters claimed that this real-life female chess master "Never faced men."

> The $5 million defamation lawsuit was filed in the Central District of California on Thursday by Nona Gaprindashvili, chess master from Georgia who became a champion under the former Soviet Union.

> Gaprindashvili, 80, alleges that the main character in "Queen's Gambit" - Elizabeth Harmon, played by Anya Taylor-Joy - is a rough approximation of her, and that the line referring to Gaprindashvili's real-life success is "Manifestly false, as well as being grossly sexist and belittling."

> "Elizabeth Harmon's not at all an important player by their standards. The only unusual thing about her, really, is her sex. And even that's not unique in Russia. There's Nona Gaprindashvili, but she's the female world champion and has never faced men. My guess is Laev was expecting an easy win, and not at all the 27-move thrashing Beth Harmon just gave him."

> "The Queen's Gambit" - released in 2020 and based on a 1983 novel of the same name, about an American woman who overcomes the odds to become a champion in the male-dominated chess world of the '50s and '60s - garnered 18 Emmy nominations for Netflix, including outstanding limited series and best lead actress for star Taylor-Joy.Gaprindashvili is considered a chess pioneer, becoming the first woman to be awarded the title of Grandmaster by the International Chess Federation in 1978, according to the World Chess Hall of Fame.

> Among her many accolades, she has won the Women's World Championship five times and Women's Soviet Chess Championship five times.
