If Carlsen and Nakamura wants to destroy FIDE, they should first RELINQUISH their FIDE affiliation. Like RELINQUISH their FIDE GM title and FIDE ELO ratings
Chess 960 isn't just some obscure side branch of chess. Since it strongly reduces the efficacy of rote variation learning, it could soon be considered as the more legitimate game, with the 960 crown even outshining the classic championship. So I understand FIDE's defensiveness about this. It's a little lame of them to legally block this while not having a 960 championship of their own though.
I think the concern of FIDE is justified this time. It wants to ensure World Championship is undisputed top crown of the chess world. It is not against functioning of FCPC, or players participating in the tournaments organized by FCPC.
Not sure about that, the obligation wording could be interpreted as only for the original chess rules, not a variant. Also, I can see that if in court FIDE somehow winning, just a slight change to the rule enough to make a new variant could as well throw their legal effort to the trash bin. I think having competitions are the only way to make FIDE better, if you could not attract sponsors/money using the OG game vs peole who promote just a variant, you don't deserve to exist IMHO. Also, when you follow enough sports, you would know that the concerns are never for having an undisputed champion, as they could just join hand and organize an event for that if they really care. The truth is that these organizations are for profit, so they just don't want to share the money.
@khoitran8158 I'm all for competition to end monopoly. I just don't see competing organizers coming together to organize the ultimate world championship. I'm okay with FIDE given sole responsibility for the World Championship. I don't want it to become a mess like the last time.
@@ragupatt FIDE still have the rights for the OG variant, this is freestyle/fisher random, basically a completely different game. No one will be confused about world championship titles for 2 different games.
anyone can make a world championship. such as in boxing WBA, WBC, IBF, or whatever. so FIDE we bring back the PCA again or form another group of GMs who wish to play in these events instead. FIDE is trying so very hard to be a monopoly . its the GMs at end who will make the decision
It's just chess without needing to prepare and memorize a hundred variations of different openings 20 moves deep. Games get to be more fun and creative instead of relying on memorization. It's not a new concept
@@DC-zi6se didn’t say him liking it was good or bad, you said it was short term in some way, Fischer was playing it in the 60’s and 70’s. You can actually, by playing freestyle, 960, of Fischer random. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea because they have spent so many hours learning their openings and refutations, to some it’s nice to play a version without prep.
Fide is the only authority conducting world championships. Not anyone else. Football World cups or tennis grandslams are conducted by governing authorities or organisations . Same applies here😂
But FIFA allows another organisation to organise a Futsal World Championship, which is just another type of football, just like Freestyle Chess is another type of chess.
Shouldn't it give cause for thought that the 3 greatest chess players have a beef with FIDE? Maybe FIDE is outdated and needs renewal? But my take is it's all about money! Cheers.
It's a little awkward now that they had to tinker with the original chess 960 name. Having a 960 champion without the "world" would work better than having a freestyle champion.
If Magnus and his fcpc can do a PCA then that would be interesting. I want to see how this will unfold. I want to see fcpc players with poor fashion sense play then fix the games at the end
Magnus and his minion Hikaru are hellbent on destroying FIDE

Chess 960 is not classical classical chess. So FIDE has no right to claim anything regarding Chess 960.

Freestyle 960 is more fun compared to classical. All pro players have 20-30 moves memorised.
Freestyle chess is just a chess variant. Without classical chess all these variants will not exist
Freestyle chess is just a chess variant of classical chess

People will be angry but 'Freestyle Chess' seems like a big gimmick. 😅

@@HenrikWigum sounds short term and frivolous.
@@DC-zi6sehow is it either? Fischer loved it because it became less about prep and more about over the board skill.
@@medicinemaaan Fischer liking something doesn't make it good or bad. Can't dissociate prep from chess.

Everyone powerful person needs some drama/controversy to grow his stature.. Sad..

This is what happens when we make one player bigger than the game itself . same reason India in cricket has more named than trophies .
Can they call it Universal Championship?

I really like your chess video
Magnus wants a division....he thinks he is bigger than the game. I think the young GMs will show him that Chess is better without him
This channel would have a lot more viewers if they changed their presenter.
India has more viewers. Don't be racist 🤣
BLAH BLAH BLAH... It is always about money!
We must support FIDE for the sake of Chess.
Fide chess is boring and unwelcoming only freestyle chess will bring back interest in chess
Anything good is often boring. Good healthy food is boring. But junk food is not.
Yet classical is still the undisputed format and will always be.
Gukesh Ding has 200k live watching on a single channel.
True
We know the reason for that..... Indiansssss@@OhMyDawkins
Bassiiiiiii
