not sure why everyone thinks this is complicated, it is very simple to become the world champion, you have to first become the world champion

So… the FIDE combined world champion qualifies to the Fide candidates to become the FIDE world champion? This is confusing even for me



dvorko can’t be expected to do stuff like that, he has a real job

FIDE is outsourcing to capable hands what it can’t manage to put together on its own. The question is: couldn’t FIDE be run by competent people like Benedicte and Kjell? That would make all those “joint ventures” unnecessary.



“just goes to prove that if someone doesn’t like one format they might play an entirely different format” i am very smart

Just goes to prove that Magnus didn't stop participating in the world championship cycle because he didn't want to be world champion or didn't have anything to prove or million such cope. He stopped participating because he was no longer as much of a favourite to win as earlier.



maybe the 2024 fischer random world championship could be incorporated into the 2027 total world championship


it is better known as "rapid chess"

What the dickens is a fast classic time control? Break out the PowerPoint slides and whiteboards, you’re gonna need everything to explain this to me.



bravely asking the question “what if there was a magnus carlsen?”

What if there were a World Chess Champion across all time controls? 🤔 Fast Classic. Rapid. Blitz. That is what we imagined, and we are making it a reality. ♟️ Introducing the Total Chess World Championship Tour, a new FIDE-recognised series that will crown the FIDE World…



the future is amazing, soon we can have a world champion in every home

Why chess struggle to be seen as a serious sport: Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 compete for gold. But they don't play a final, rather a mysterious tiebreak system could end up decide. Final round starts 11AM on a Tuesday. Few of Europes absolute top players participate.



good to see such respect for tradition 🫡

how is it fair that i lost to her as an alleged 2200 less than a year ago 😡

Note that Anna Shukhman is not the youngest Russian Chess Champion, as Tatiana Kosintseva achieved her title at 16 years 1 months old in 2002



they’re calling it the average caro kann player

there’s a reason nobody actually “farms” points

Nakamura’s tournament performance rating for scoring 13.5/14 against avg. opposition of 2013 is 2586. This again illustrates that even for a top player, it’s not easy to win consistently when the rating gap is very large. The Elo system is self-correcting & works remarkably well



isn’t this bad luck
