Fedorchuk did not received the memo.โค๐๐
Suddenly it is about "morality". Before when qualification was with average rating, was it immoral for all the top players to go to invitational events to play each other and avoid open events to keep their ratings high? Or because this time it is just one short event (named for what it is, race to candidates), suddenly the the short attention spans figure out the ethical side of the whole issue?
Scripted trolling of FIDE system? This would explain why Alireza didn't try to qualify much through other events thjs year and suddenly tried this…
Ho Ho Ho How is this a Christmas miracle? Sergey my man, real competitive players always play for the win! Alireza's aura was just too much for him :O
Alireza the farmer ๐จโ๐พ
Another fixed game.
I can't help but admire the stoic defense Federchuk put up in this game
Wasn't Wesley leading some yearly FIDE points thing, which would get him into the candidates that way,
and the highest rated player not already qualified would still apply to Alireza.
Fedorchuk for reasons unknown shall be playing a FIDE rated match with Yulia Osmak on Dec 23 in Chartres. Hope Agad covers that.
I think this was the best outcome for all involved. Seeing as Alireza's reputation would have taken a huge hit, even more of one than it already had for even attempting to qualify and push Wesley out in such a sketchy manner.
Also, contrary to what some were claiming yesterday, this situation was not an apples to apples comparison to the last minute games Ding played to get in last time as Ding was already ahead in the ratings(AKA was deserving) he just had trouble playing in enough games to qualify because of covid.
Anish twitter ELO just crossed 3000.
I have no doubt that this was all set up. After the devastating echo upon those grandmasters committing hair-raising blunders in favour of Alireza thus destroying the reputation of everyone involved they decided to back down. It should be mentioned that Alireza's position was totally lost at -4.2 when Fedorchuk so generously granted a draw.
Secret post match, Alireza and Fedorchuk conversation leaked!!!!!
Alireza: WTF, thought we had a deal??
Fedorchuk (in thick russian accent): The cheque bounced
Wesley โค๏ธโค๏ธ๐
Guys, calm down, its 8 games tournament.
Alireza just wanted to give a heart attack to Wesly so
Ouf! we will not be tortured watching Alireza playing! Better he dedicates himself to fashion. I really don't appreciate this guy, nor his way of playing
Thank you for consistent uploads. Your videos have become a part of my daily routine. Pozdrav sa slovenije bratee!
Karma!
Need time clock displayed.
How about a match between So and Firouaja.
Honestly, if the Frenchies wanted Alireza to qualify they should have organized a proper tournament with the best French players like MVL, Bacrot, Lagarde etc. No one would have complained. And we wouldn't have had to witness GMs hang rooks like patzers.
He's not bad for a fashion designer that plays chess occasionally
Thats a joke right? haha
no way in hell i offer a draw in this position as black against anyone. Black had all the winning chances and nothing to loose. GMs are capable of playing good moves even against super gms. I refuse to believe this was not a got up event. Seems like a bigger controversy than hans niemann now.Probably the other gm got cold feet with all the scrutiny
Hear me out, I i think Alireza saw all the hate and decided to throw to try and save his reputation lmao
As someone who would love see Firo in candidates BUT not this way.
I love his style of play up to last year but in past few tournaments he has been playing bad Chess.
He has time. Back to drawing board.
You need to work hard!!
It's not over until it's over. But it's over now. Unless it's not. Even the confusion was confused. Solution: Let Wesley and Alireza fight 1vs1 for the last seat of the candidate's tournament.
Wesley is the most deserved here
So Firouzja could have called in sick today…and he would have qualified for the Candidates?!
Black's time is not visible
I'm surprised by this outcome because all the experts in the comments section of this channel assured me that all of Alireza's opponents were being paid to lose. I'm sure they will all apologise now for libelling Alireza
Why the fuck did the other guy draw on a winning position and resign on a drawn position?. What is his aim of playing chess anyway?.This tournament is a disgrace and so are the players participating in it. They will never achieve anything with this mentality.
This shows how farming points can and does backfire. Note that Ramirez tried and failed, too. Gukesh is the only one who succeded in the end by trying twice.
I'm glad bigotito didn't win.
Just announced, Alirezaโs race to Candidates Part 2 will be played on Sunday๐
Wesley is a nasty human being but he deserves it more than Alireza
im telling you, agad's titles are a work of art.
I wonder if all this was publicity stunt
Anish's comment had me laughing out loud. How pitiful it is, that one whole tournament was arranged with weaker opponents to have you in candidates, and you couldn't do it. Shameful. Hopefully there won't be another tourney to have Alireza in the Candidates. Good luck Wesley.
Wait so if Fedorchuk picks up Elo rating in his match, does it affect the monthly rankings as a whole – improving Alireza's performance by comparison?
Or are those points "calculated" chronologically (like the live ratings) and only "updated" monthly? If that's the system, why even have monthly updates? Seems the live ratings could suffice for the main method of updating Elo.
He Should Quit the Fashion B*LL SH*T and Focus on Chess!!,,,Otherwise it's gonna be wasted Talent!! Alireza is so nervous to compete in candidates or in World Championship!!! Magnus said this himself,,that ""Alireza is always very nervous""!! So in my Opinion ignoring practice and focusing on B*LL SH*T Fashion, does not help someone who is a nervous wreck!!!
Such a fraud tournament ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ alireza lost all respect…….. Wont support him again in singale game ๐๐๐
One opponent resigns an equal position, another agrees to a draw in a completely winning position. Go back to fashion Ali, the chess world is done with you.
I would have been disappointed if this event go Alireza in the candidates. That would have been poor form.
I hope this leads to a change in process in the future.
What to expect from a Muslim player like Alireza๐๐๐ morally corrupt.
I think the end result has a lot to do with the FIDE statement on probing the event. The veteran GM in his last days clearly had no interest in getting investigated and potentially banned if found guilty of fixing. All this trouble for some small amount of cash must have been too much for him. So he must have put his best foot forward in the last game, which clearly didn't go well for Mr. Firouza๐.
Alireza is desperate and it will be difficult to be his fan anymore.
This is prearranged chess. FIDE must not rate this event and sanction the players for game fixing!
Very Happy for Wesly So that was gonna be unfair to him
