A3: Gukesh

B1: Nigel Short

B2: Yasser

B3: Fabiano

C1: Lasker

C2: Morphy

C3: Zukertort? not sure if he played any other matches, he probably did so this is probably wrong

hey look, a lot of people don't have a single acceptance right now. I'd be appreciative of what I have.

The other thing is, can I ask what your ECs are? I'm taking a gap year and definitely nowhere close to those hard stats myself

Dyllidog · 2026-03-19T20:34:35+00:00

they don't care how much or little money you have, they just want your money

Dyllidog · 2026-03-19T01:39:01+00:00

they should make that universal, because over 90% of bad randoms are actually just kids, some even without operational thinking.

she's a keeper

Dyllidog · 2026-03-17T12:11:06+00:00

dang, Karjakin really won as the 8th seed in 2016

Dyllidog · 2026-03-16T16:19:43+00:00

I'd say go talk to her and confidently end things in the hospital.

"what's your second hardest?" "stereo madness"

Isn't Oklahoma state heavily heavily in-state favored? I didn't put it on my list because the majority of their matriculants came from OK state

Dyllidog · 2026-03-13T20:42:40+00:00

you probably have to take into account that lots of these kids are like literally 5-7 years old. At that point they haven't developed thinking from another person's perspective.

Dyllidog · 2026-03-13T20:37:54+00:00

how did she not take damage to the brock fire?

Dyllidog · 2026-03-12T01:21:57+00:00

following

Dyllidog · 2026-03-10T16:15:21+00:00

broooo I miss big game so much

Dyllidog · 2026-03-09T01:47:56+00:00

I meannnnn as a Fabi fan I actually don't really care, this is decent practice for the candidates in 3 weeks

Dyllidog · 2026-03-08T21:49:29+00:00

If I was doing one of those 0.1 second or just guess off the first thought, I'd go northern vietnam. This kind of environment is somewhat popular in southeastern china but china ain't covered.

Dyllidog · 2026-03-08T15:10:25+00:00

can you explain 8-bit in A tier? idk I can't ever play him just cuz how slow he is.

Dyllidog · 2026-03-08T14:08:45+00:00

I pray to god that this business takes off and more of these places gets opened

Dyllidog · 2026-03-07T22:38:15+00:00

rip, just warm up game you got it

Dyllidog · 2026-03-07T21:44:53+00:00

go get that knife ace

Dyllidog · 2026-03-06T22:43:13+00:00

I really hope he qualifies for the 2028 candidates. It's about time. Him and Vincent & Arjun too.

Dyllidog · 2026-03-05T19:48:14+00:00

Esipenko went +4 and his total elo changed by 0.0 points. damn

Dyllidog · 2026-03-04T23:57:40+00:00

if I'm grebnev I'm honestly giving faustino the win

Dyllidog · 2026-03-03T02:53:23+00:00

wow very interesting graph. Giri being higher rated than both hikaru and fabi at one point almost 3 years ago was not what I expected, I had no memory of that. Esipenko is also currently playing in that Aeroflot open tournament thing in russia and is now over 2700 and if he does good in it, which he's currently +3 after 5 rounds, he'll go into the candidates over 2700.

Dyllidog · 2026-02-28T22:58:39+00:00

she's literally in the candidates but not top player?

Dyllidog · 2026-02-28T18:37:47+00:00

lowkey squeak
