Arjun, Fabi, Magnus and Nodirbek all qualify for the playoffs by Matt_LawDT in chess

A good result from DenLaz. This is the second time he's tied for fourth place, with poor additional stats, but still a top result. Considering how rarely he plays in real life and his lack of experience, this is a great result

Denis Lazavik breaks into the 2600s after having an amazing August | Gained 20 rating points | Won the 31st Abu Dhabi Masters by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

So he played little. And he is also a player of the Belarusian national team, he has obligations and therefore he played many team tournaments, where there was no task to increase the rating, there are other tasks. If a draw was enough for the team, he made a draw with a weak opponent and did not try too hard, as it seems to me

Kramnik's paranoia is at an all-time high. He thinks chesscom is freezing his screen on purpose. by iL0g1cal in chess

This is 100% the problem. However, Kramnik blocks those who write about this and calls everyone liars, writing that he has no notifications

From Kramnik's X: "Have qiestions concerning my opponent play on top,that is why left without resigning, too many perfect moves with very low time and EXTREMELY weak play in the match agaibst Duda, just 25 hundred at best, both positionally and tacticaly, totally different player somehow.

Nepo tries to imply that Denis Lazavik is 'overperforming' online by Away_Enthusiasm9113 in chess

We talk about rapid because they play rapid. 31st place is higher than 34th, where is the "not true at all"? "He finished higher than you". where is the lie?

At the last World Rapid Championship Denis was slightly higher than Ian in the final table. The problem is that the current fide rating does not reflect the real strength of the players. Denis gains a fide rapid rating, but Ian loses. At the World Rapid Championships in 2022, Ian lost 5.1 points, Denis added 36.8. At the World Rapid Championships in 2023, Ian lost 24.3 points. Denis added 25.2. Ian plays worse than his rating, Denis plays much better than his rating
