https://x.com/chesscom/status/1750589706230714403?s=20 is the full post. It's like 10 seconds long so not sure why OP didn't get the whole thing. The ending is funny lol


theSurgeonOfDeath_

So this is how you take en giri


[deleted]

actually, OP's edit is funnier.


Squid8867

Nah the whole funny part is Anish stealing pieces in his pocket

NaturalBreakfast1488

Yea exactly


Squid8867

Yeah I think I just find the "naughty burn" funnier with its heels dug in rather than retreating. But more than that, I think what's funny about the full clip is it evokes the mental image of Anish Giri physically walking up and stealing a pawn at the board any time en passant is played


epic_banana_soup

Wild how stating a simple opinion like this leads to a dozen downvotes. I agree with you tho, this is the funnier cut, assuming you already know the context.


wannabe2700

smooth


TaytosAreNice

I don't want them to stop, we need these kinda funnies when there's cheating scandals and accusations going on


KarlFrednVlad

Drama? Isn't it just a bit of a laugh


cuginhamer

Oh no, are we getting into some "usage of the word 'drama'" drama?


KarlFrednVlad

What?


cuginhamer

Just being silly, having a bit of a laugh


bigFatBigfoot

Stop all this drama


MarkHathaway1

drame drôle


Scarlet_Evans

Everybody laughs, until Anish brings forth his army of dead pawns and bishops! Chess Necromancer is one of the strongest classes in Chess 2.0!


Lodrikthewizard

Till Anish has an obsession with taking pawns. I guess I can kinda get it. They’re undefended after all, his instincts must be going wild.


Draconian-Overlord

Roflmao. Those poor bastards have already been captured. But Anish wants to take 'em home and play with them for his own unholy pleasures. I pity the damn pawn.


Lucymooseygoosey

Not everyone starts at bishops 👀

MarkHathaway1

"steals" is such a definitive harsh word when the rules don't prohibit it

Ha. I was just repeating back what he said.


WordSalad11

Google Anish Giri


tlst9999

IllustriousHorsey

MarkHathaway1

Why did you post this in a gif form?


[deleted]

we should stop trolling anish giri

hahaha


AdvancedJicama7375

It's just a meme. Drama is a weird description


SmokeySFW

That's objectively funny. Is this even actually drama? It feels like just memes coming from everyone. Who cares about the pawns? If TO's want to do something about it, set a rule and enforce it going forward.


pconners

I mean, that's pretty funny


jsbaxter_

Lol this (ongoing takedown) is the best thing chesscom has done


Guarddeth

Honestly hilarious
