Fide is a joke
Why do people support clickbaiters?
The bottom line is..
Get out of here…
This is shameful..
Didn't Ding Li Ren do something similar to Firouza?
every time i hear circuit it reminds me of circus
Now you can farm elo and beat Magnus, right?
I think Levy forgot about boxing and MMA which also goes through a challenger pool that results in a head to head championship bout.
This was great coverage of all this.
I want Alireza to play the candidates not only for being the only one magnus would play last year, but because i find what he did to be brilliant. Hate the game not the player 100%
Agreed on many points such as with situation with Ding (I think it was reasonable since he just needed some extra games for taking that spot that was ALREADY HIS) and than Firouzja's Tournament is a complete scum.
The only thing I don't understand is why World Rapid and Blitz Championships are even supposed to be count in circuit?
It's candidates to WC match on CLASSICAL chess!
So when Magnus said that current format is boring, let's spice it up, make more games with shorter time control, FIDE was like "Oh, no, it's match on classical chess", but now they make shorter time control tournaments influencing the Candidates Tournament to this same match?
Just a clarification. The tournament of Lenier it´s played in Sitges (the name of the town). That it´s in the provincie (something alike to a county) of Barcelona.
Clickbait from hell
Love the content, love the drama. Thank you for relaying the tea!
Alireza drew his last game 😂😂😂😂 Wesly is going to the Candidates!!!! 😂😂🎉🎉😂😂
What is the chess equivalent word for match fixing?
Click bait he draw the final game lol So back in another match maybe lol
Without me spending time looking into the rulebook, can someone briefly summarize what exactly qualifies as a FIDE rated tournament?
Forgive my naivity, but I only got back into the chess world a few months ago. If Carlsen isn't going to play the Candidates, and Ding is the current WC, does this mean that Magnus is not interested in challenging Ding for WC in 2024? Can someone explain this?
19:31 there is a good word, sussy
Waiting for Magnus' race to 2900
I thought he was gonna say "Another day another l victory for the og," now im disappointed
DAY 41 OF TRING TO GET PINNED BY GOTHAMCHESS
fide should make a new regulation from next candidate cycle. other wise it will be so messed up.
I’ll take the last spot. Let me play the candidates
Hahah, maybe the event should be renamed to FIDE circus.
It's very interesting video, you really proved that the whole Candidate system is problematic.
In my opinion, the rules are just a bit messed up and should be changed, aka not coming up with some random tournament at the last minute.
Like Alireza isn't the evil mastermind that Hans Niemens is (that's a joke by the way) since he's just using the rules to his advantage
The titles of Gotham's videos are usually very clickbaity and he usually overhypes things, but he's actually right this time. This is really unbelievable. My favourite part is the NAME of the tournament – Alireza Firouja's Race to the Candidates. Not sus at all.
Sagar invited Anish & Wesly to the Chennai tournament that's interesting.
Play Anish Please!
22:37 goat meme
Bro 😂😂😂😂 has a hate for Alireza .
Alireza 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I feel bad for you.
I am pretty sure Ferouzja did it on purpose to make a point that rules are stupid.
Props for gotham chess making me love chess
Fide Circuit seems simpler to understand than duckworth Lewis in cricket, which even cricket umpire don't understand.
wow, I had no idea. thanks for breaking it down.
I think the bigger problem is still subjectively kicking someone out of an earned spot based on trying to control someone's speech.
Why don't GMs/IMs play low-rated players with material disadvantage for streaming purposes? As a chess fan, that sounds to me that it could make for some really fun videos. The question I would like to answer is what material disadvantage would put GothamChess on the same level as a 1000 rated player? Chess allows for very interesting combinations and I don't think anyone can beat even a player with a rating of 700 if he starts with a king and a pawn. So how many and what pieces is the minimum they need? Are they simply afraid of losing?
Gotham casually changing titles:
we want levy vs anish!!😂😂
So to summarize this video, the organizers of chess is an “old boys” club, here is the evidence. Yes, they need to change, need to take logistics and large country politics into account. More questions need to be asked.
The commentary is great! I’m like 3 months deep into actually laying chess, but man… For chess being one of the oldest games in the world, and having some of the most broken and fly-by-night schedules, this is crazy. A little shake-up is in order.
Gothamchess reminds me of Pokemonchallenges for some reason
Honestly, I don't understand why it was announced few days before the tournament. If it was a desperate attempt to get gukesh/erigasi into the candidates, then shame on you though it's within the rules of the game. I am guessing ChessBase India came up with this stuff. Now Alireza is following the trend which makes people lose trust on this incredible game. An advise to chess players. Please learn to say "No" to the organizers if you think that something is not right.
Nepo's a salty boy
The thing is that Ding's case, he just needed games. Alireza needs WINS. And these wins he's getting are a little interesting…
Are we facing a corruption case at the top of FIDE? Is FIDE's another FIFA?
Who came up with this clownery? Give that person an OSCAR allready.
