World’s best chess player loses tournament after ‘horror mouseslip’-

World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen exited an online tournament on Thursday after accidentally moving his queen to the wrong square, allowing rival Hikaru Nakamura to take it with his king and ultimately win the match. Chess.com called the move a “horror mouseslip” for Carlsen, who left the event in third place with $15,000.

After beating Carlsen in that armageddon match (a special ruleset for tiebreakers), Nakamura went on to win the Chessable Masters tournament and its $30,000 top prize on Friday, putting him ahead of Carlsen in the rankings for this year’s multi-event Champions Chess Tour. 

The result of Carlsen’s fatal misclick can be seen in the screenshot above. At the top right of the board, Nakamura’s king (black) can be seen capturing Carlsen’s defenseless queen, which the Norwegian grandmaster had intended to move to b6 to take one of Nakamura’s pawns. Instead, he stuck the piece on f6.

Apparently, this kind of thing happens enough that “mouseslip” is common Chess.com parlance. The commentators instantly knew what had happened after Carlsen reacted and then the move appeared on the stream.

You officially have no excuse not to play Deus Ex- Mankind Divided now Prime Gaming is doling out free GOG copies of the game-

You ask me, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a downright gaming injustice. Like Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire or Tyranny (Obsidian has form for these), it’s a game that got a lot of things very right that just never made much of a splash. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Mankind Divided sold millions of copies, but apparently not enough for anyone to bother concluding the trilogy, and it’s not one a lot of people talk about these days. Why? A conspiracy. A conspiracy against videogames.

Brave reader, you can do your part to undermine that conspiracy here and now. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is currently free on Prime Gaming, meaning anyone with a ticking Prime subscription can pick up a DRM-free GOG key for the thing right this second. I actually wouldn’t recommend starting a subscription just to grab it, though: The game has been on sale for a paltry few bucks multiple times before.

But if you do have Prime and don’t have Mankind Divided, you should grab it. Don’t listen to the naysayers making fun of my lad Adam Jensen, DXMD’s Prague is a jewel in the immersive sim crown, right up there with spots like Dishonored 2’s Carnaca or the Sevastopol from A…

Where to find the High Banks weapon and gear crates in Once Human

Tracking down the High Banks weapon and gear crates, when you first visit the hilltop town in Once Human, is the trickiest part of its exploration, but you’ll need to find them if you want to complete every objective in the Explore High Banks mission. The town itself isn’t too big, but there are quite a few buildings to investigate, plus a lot of monsters roaming around who make your job harder.

While the Mystical Crate is easy to find—guarded by the elite enemy in the centre of town—the other two are a little way out, so it’s understandable if you missed them. All that said, here’s where to find the High Banks weapon crate and gear crate to complete those objectives and get some loot.
