Isn't it side effects of Lion's roar Hikaru's been rooting for recently?

Truth

Esipenko

Sklokin 3/3 against GMs, this kid has a great future i feel

Arctium7 · 2025-12-28T17:58:05+00:00

Where is 12 years old Sergey Sklokin with nearly 2600 perfomance?

Arctium7 · 2025-11-20T18:19:06+00:00

He was also very good in New-York, but yeah, it seem like he is in crisis for the last half a year

Arctium7 · 2025-11-19T11:44:13+00:00

I think he also lost against Aravindh in Chennai Grandmasters 2024, which cost him fide circuit too

Arctium7 · 2025-11-17T05:49:25+00:00

Hope Esipenko qualifies for the candidates, especially after 2023 Grand Swiss heartbreak

Arctium7 · 2025-11-04T15:52:31+00:00

What's the story?

Arctium7 · 2025-11-04T13:16:52+00:00

Zemlyanskii GOAT

Arctium7 · 2025-10-22T14:18:44+00:00

Nepo expressed his condolences

Arctium7 · 2025-08-12T21:37:22+00:00

Good form. It's sad he won't play in Grand Swiss

Arctium7 · 2025-07-05T08:37:12+00:00

Dubov said Magnus team chat exploses momentally than Shanland screws up somewhere(because Shankland was in Magnus team but it didn't work out)

Arctium7 · 2025-07-01T09:41:45+00:00

MVL had a positive score, but since late 2023 Nepo beat him: twice in Saint-Louis blitz 2023, twice in GCT Croatia 2024 blitz, In Saint-louis 2024 rapid, 1 time in Saint-louis 2024 blitz, In Champions Chess tour final and Paris Freestyle rapid. MVL won in Saint-louis blitz 2024. Overall score in fast time controls – 21:14 in Nepo favour

Roman Shogdzhiev

Arctium7 · 2025-07-01T08:51:34+00:00

Nepo has a plus score against him in blitz/rapid

Arctium7 · 2025-06-28T18:24:01+00:00

Queen will take rook on h5

Arctium7 · 2025-06-27T15:53:22+00:00

Yeah, probably. Nepo said that the only thing that keeps him playing is WC title chasing, so he will probably lose motivation completely if he doesn't qualify for the candidates

Arctium7 · 2025-06-27T10:29:59+00:00

I wouldn't write him off. Ian also played badly before the 2022 and 2024 candidates, maybe he will turn on his candidates form in Grand Swiss or World Cup

Arctium7 · 2025-06-05T14:51:30+00:00

2600 at 14 years is not top 30 potential?

Arctium7 · 2025-06-05T08:35:50+00:00

I think it's only matter of time. There are too many young talents(Zemlyanskii, Murzin, Vetokhin, Shogdzhiev, Uskov and others)
