    Magnus is the strongest player in the world but he loses some times. It's really interesting to see games where he gets outplayed... But your autism only allows you to show him winning or you cannot live.

      2022 WFRCC: Magnus, Hikaru & FIDE cheated Wesley So, who should've been 2020, 2022 & 2024 candidates wildcard because Wesley So won in classical games (45+15=60) while Hikaru won in rapid games (25+5+2.5=32.5min).
      Source:
      p1w4Rr-1fL
      ---
      That's the summary. The ff is the long version.
      ---
      2 questions
      Q1
      Why isn't it unfair to Wesley So that FIDE lowered the WFRCC time controls from 60min in 2019 to 32.5min in 2022 ( w/o changing the name of course to 'rapid WFRCC'. if they change the name, then there's no problem ) considering the ff things?
      ---
      Thing1
      In the 2019 WFRCC, Hikaru & Magnus did better in 15+2=17min games than 60min games. Wesley So did better in vice-versa.
      ---
      Thing2
      Afaik
      - (0min,10min) = blitz
      - [10min,60min) = rapid
      - [60min,120min) = classical but unrated for 2200+ players.
      - [120min,infinity) = classical
      Hence, Wesley So should be the CLASSICAL WFRCC and then Hikaru is the rapid WFRCC.
      Wesley So beat Magnus 3x CLASSICAL games in a row HUMAN VS HUMAN, no computer prep!
      The last time this happened was Vishy Anand vs Alexei Shirov in 2000 FIDE classical WCC! (Not to be confused w/ 2000 PCA classical WCC where Garry cheated Alexei.)
      ---
      Thing3
      Yet for some reason FIDE insists that both 32.5min & 60min are 'slow rapid' while 17min is 'fast rapid'. They didn't even define these terms.
      Check out the maths here:
      I see only 2 reasonable definitions for slow & fast rapid.
      -Def1 - Slow rapid means unrated classical [60,120) & fast rapid is rapid [10,60).
      This means:
      - There's no classical WFRCC.
      - Wesley So is slow rapid WFRCC.
      - Hikaru is fast rapid WFRCC.
      - Hence, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.
      -Def2 - Fast rapid & slow rapid cut up rapid [10,60) into resp [10,35) and [35,60).
      2 issues here:
      - 60min is not in either of these intervals.
      - Also, 32.5 is in [10,35).
      So neither 60 nor 32.5 are slow rapid. Lol.
      This means:
      - There's no slow rapid WFRCC.
      - Wesley So is classical WFRCC.
      - Hikaru is rapid WFRCC, specifically fast rapid WFRCC.
      - Hence, again, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.
      - Def3 - The definitions must be: Since 15+2=17 is fast rapid, we must have
      - [10,X) fast rapid &
      - [X,120) slow rapid, for some
      17 < X < 32.5.
      Like say X is some arbitrary number like X=20 or X=30. Lol yeah right!!
      ---
      Thing4
      Conclusion:
      I believe the 2022 WFRCC was a conspiracy to get Hikaru / Magnus to win in parallel w/ the Hans Niemann situation. Think about this:
      - Magnus quits the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. 1 day later, Hans Niemann, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 CGC in that Hans is removed!
      - Magnus quits the 2023 WCC. 1 month later, Wesley So, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 WFRCC in that the time controls are reduced w/o changing the name!
      I hardly believe this is a coincidence. I bet Magnus even directed (or conspired w/) FIDE to remove (and hence cheat) Sergey (not American but still Jewish like Hans & Bobby) from the 2022 candidates. Sergey's replacement Liren even cited the ff as role models: Magnus, Garry & Veselin instead of Wesley, Bobby & Vlad ( as described in FlNsFKeq-iE ).
      Of course there's no conspiracy at all if FIDE just says
      'Ok Wesley So is classical WFRCC & Hikaru is rapid WFRCC. Sorry for the confusion!'
      For chess:
      The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.
      For 9LX:
      The ability to play 9LX is the sign of a gentleman or a lady. The ability to play 9LX well is the sign that you're not Magnus Carlsen. LOL!!!!
      ---
      Q2
      Consequently, why shouldn't Wesley So have been a wildcard in 2020, 2022 or 2024 candidates as the 2019 WFRCC winner considering
      -Fabi was a wildcard in the 2019 WFRCC quarter-finals as the 2018 WCC runner-up, not by FRC virtue
      -Hikaru & Magnus were 2019 WFRCC quarter & semi-finals wildcards, by FRC virtue for the 2018 unofficial WFRCC but lol the 2018 game itself was obviously for chess virtue
      ?
      Well I suppose there's that being good at chess means you'll be good at 9LX but not vice-versa (unless you're Magnus lol)...

    Hi Agad, great video as always. With the greatest respect for what you do and how well you do it, I just wanted to point out that we have these games and their analysis are already saturating TH-cam. I watched this game live too. They analyse pretty much every line there is.
    Hence, my earnest request is to bring back games by old masters, a saga if possible. That is missing from TH-cam badly nowadays.
    Just a suggestion. I will keep watching no matter what:)

    Magnus has always backed his words with actions, he says the classical world chamionship time controls and then goes to show why playing on theoretical variations makes for much more interesting games. I still thing Ding v. Nepo was fantastic and also showed how harrowing preparing for such a tournament can be (it was much more of a nerve match than a masterclass on chess)

      Fine for leaving the tournament without reasons? Seems reasonable to me because he faced former world chess cheater
