He got offended by the post «Magnus Carlsen is an embarrasment»

Great post

Early forms of chess originated in India around the 6th century AD. One ancestor was chaturanga, a popular four-player war game that prefigured several key aspects of modern chess. A form of chaturanga traveled to Persia, where the name of the "king" piece changed from the Sanskrit rajah to the Persian shah.

Now we know that he and Chess.com are in a dispute.

Magnus Carlsen is for some reason using other accounts for playing games on chess.com 

Lord_Raz

He'd be banned within a few games for "Fair Play violations" so there's no point in him even attempting it, especially anonymously.

 

Oops..I meant chess.com's system is perfect and would never create falsely flag accounts. Sorry, that'll get this whole thread banned.

The final And The TRUE reason GM Magnus Carlsen don't play on chess.com anymore beacause First , Magnus used to play Much and much Tournaments and events and play many games on Chess.com . But now , After the launch of his own play Magnus App and Chess24 he Likes These apps beacuse Chess24 , Chessable , play Magnus Likes magnus Much more and thinks as the Soul of their app For example, Chess24 thinks without Magnus Carlsen chess24 is impossible . But in the other hand Chess.com likes GM Hikaru Nakamura Than Magnus . Also Magnus Carlsen is a very strong player , So The Computer Of Safety for chess.com Proved magnus Carlsen as A cheater because he use to win every game with high-accuracy . But Magnus Was a Not a cheater . But the engine thought that . He felt It insulting that Himself a Computer is telling a Cheater and he is innocent. But Magnus still loved chess.com and create Multiple accounts and Play . He is tired of Creating multiple Accounts so he have closed all of them , and now he is fully a Chess24 and play Magnus member .

Probably not the stupidest thing said today, but definitely a competitor! Magnus's company has entered into a merger with another site, so naturally he is appearing there

No, it is the stupidest.

Carlsen looks like a cross between Matt Damon and a chimpanzee.

Lichess pay him more.

Correction Chess24 pay more, he's a professional, it's a good enough reason. 

fluffywhether

I imagine it's contractual. 

kilka_ra

It's easy. He is a representative of chess24

CRABBY-OPENINGS

he does.

He will be playing more often now after the announcement just a couple of days ago.

wait...magnus used to play on chess.com at all? not even kasparov plays on chess.com O.O 

on another note, ive seen magnus making chess.com tournament appearances. the fact that kasparov never has is downright weird. the older generation of chess champs are inclined to be more prim perhaps.
