Why Chess.com exposed Carlsen?

I don't know if I'm gonna get banned if I talked about it, but just keep in mind. and Remember me lol.


For those who don't know, there is a huge beef between Chess.com and Carlsen over twitter, Chess.com just posted a tweet that Carlsen refused to play the Nations Cup because of the financial offer they have made or the FIDE, now Magnus replied that he will ask for triple the price! in any future event.
So Chess.com is charging us a hell of a money for membership and spams my butt with ads if I'm free member and so greedy to give Carlsen an offer? then going on twitter making a low blow move?

Chess.com does not have any beef with Magnus Carlsen - we'd love him to play and invite him to every major event we hold. The Online Nations Cup is not just a Chess.com event, though - it's being run by FIDE, as that tweet at https://twitter.com/chesscom/status/1258447024632053760 says. It quotes Nick Barton from Chess.com:

As a FIDE event, all player invites for the Online Nations Cup were handled solely by FIDE. Magnus was invited to participate in this historic tournament, and we would have loved to have him take part in it. Unfortunately, though an offer to play was extended by each of FIDE Director General Emil Sutovsky and FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich, our understanding is that Magnus was not willing to play under the same financial conditions as the other participants. We have the utmost respect for Magnus' talent, and he will continue to receive invites to Chess.com's events on a regular basis, just as he has for many years.

Some people seem to think that with that statement, Chess.com is insinuating that Magnus is greedy: that is absolutely not the case. It's clarifying that Chess.com did NOT invite ANYBODY and did NOT set the conditions under which anyone plays, that side of things has been handled solely by FIDE.

We all know this is isn't the true story, and doesn't justify why exposing him WITH QUOTING? really? the CIA then should tweet all its operations under QUOTING!

One tweet by Carlsen and with no response from chess.com doesn't make a "huge beef".

I think this lockdown is forcing people to manufacture internet drama to relieve the boredom.

Please don't invent something that does not exist - I have no idea what "true story" you think "everyone" knows, but Chess.com would love Magnus to participate in events here and - as quoted above - we invite him regularly. Magnus generally chooses not to accept those invitations and trying to explain Chess.com's actions is not "exposing" anything about Magnus' reasons for his choices - I'm sure he's got reasons, but you really should be asking him rather than speculating about it here on the Chess.com forums.

Lol, you are gonna pretend that the negotiations between the player and the site aren't confidential?
You are gonna pretend that Magnus isn't a partner with chess24? and he doesn't want to promote to chess.com unless he will have a great financial from it? the true story is from MAGNUS TWEET, that he "would have asked for the triple" he didn't even ask you or even got there about negotiating,  Chess.com just EXPOSED he is greedy on twitter, I'm NOT SAYING THIS, MAGNUS SAID THIS IN HIS TWEET. LOL

The tweet makes it clear that there were no negotiations between Chess.com and Magnus for this event: FIDE handled all of that. If Magnus wants to interpret that as Chess.com trying to get FIDE to force him to play, I would think that's a reflection on how FIDE handled inviting him rather than Chess.com.

You seem to be saying that Magnus exposed his own greed in his own statements? Again, I think you're reading into the situation: just because he's not as interested in representing Europe as he would be representing Norway doesn't mean he's greedy. And in any case, I don't see why anything along those lines should reflect badly on Chess.com.

The issue is the line "our understanding is that Magnus was not willing to play under the same financial conditions as the other participants". This implies that the financial conditions was the reason for him declining. Stating that he was invited is fine, but the reason why he declined should be confidential.

I am sure if there was team Norway he would had play it under same terms as other players, its about representing you people, anyone would play it. But because it was team Europe, its just so general, and he is the world champion why would he play under same terms as Muzychuk for example? 

However Fide could not do a special offer for Magnus because it would be unpoliite to other players. So they run it without Magnus. 

Also lets not forget that Magnus is having deals with other chess site, and i dont know if the contract allows him to play on chess.com
