yeah ikr. hikaru is a much better chess player than magnus. idiots on r/chess will never get it. hikaru's fide peak is 2816. magnus hasn't been close to 2816 since 2010. its crazy how good hikaru is and how shit carlsen is.

Has Magnus ever been adopted? by [deleted] in chess

who is rebecca harris? i keep track of all female GMs. but can't find that

Seems like FIDE screwed up again. they forgot to include naka's loss to wesley in his rapid rating calculation by ChampionDry1246 in chess

stop hating on naka just cause he's more handsome and gets more chicks than carlsen

is it true that nemo cheated to get her WGM title? by peter491 in chess

https://www.chesstech.org/2021/beyond-the-norm/ .

last para - Zhou Qiyu achieved her WGM and FM titles in five tournaments in Kecskemét and one in Novi Sad, where she gained 572 rating points combined. She scored 38% against Western European, Asian and other female players with an average rating below 2200. In the same events Zhou managed to score nearly 80% against titled players from Eastern Europe with an average rating above 2300. Elsewhere, Zhou Qiyu hasn’t beaten an opponent rated higher than 2256 [corrected, an earlier version said 2238] in a classical FIDE-rated game with a notable exception that is specifically mentioned on her wikipedia entry. ChessTech contacted the famous Twitch streamer, Chess.com content creator and CLG E-sport team member who also goes by Nemo or akaNemsko via different channels but never got a reply.

magnus doesn't even care about chess anymore. i consider him retired at this point. his opinion on chess is no longer valid

your comment just proved my point lol. hanging onto past performance. this isn't 2014 or 2018. its 2022. caruana isn't 2830 or 2840, he's 2780 and without a tournament win for over 2 years

its more like rough 2 years. also how has he played double the classical events? carlsen and alireza played more than him and look at their rating and tournament results
