the bottom line is the rules and tournament structure should be clear enough that people can't argue or appeal for certain events to count or not.
I thought the title is a clickbait but it's actually one of your best videos, both informative and entertaining (you were amused and so were we). If I were FIDE I'd throw monkey in a wrench… "you play with the rules- so do we. we're changing the rules and adding five more players to the candidates, and we're inviting top 5 players from juniors' list, mwahahahahhh"
This is like if Man United invited 3 EFL championship teams for a tournament to get into the Champions League round of 16. Except United would still bottle it somehow
Levy is like Usopp saying that the pirates are coming
Bring back the Interzonal
These "dramas" are not really my thing to watch. I gave this one a chance, but I prefer seeing actual chess. Happy holidays!
Me: just win so ez
My gameplay history: 1000 losses 1 win
I’d rather see Wesley in the candidates than Alireza based on this years games. Both are amazing chess players Alireza had a down year though
This fiasco brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "pumping your own tires".
The nerd community is in total shock today.
Maybe the only way into the candidates should be winning a top tournament ran by FIDE directly such as the Grand Swiss and the like. If someone wins multiple then their qualification should be for the first one they played and the runner up of subsequent wins, should they happen, gets in. That way players aren't incentivized to try and game elo or circuit points and can instead focus on just trying to win prestigious tournaments.
Levy never fails to promote Magnus Carlson even if he doesn`t want to play thetournament Levy is talking about.
To call it "Race to the candidates" is just pure cheese 😂😂😂
Scrap the current criteria. Let it be like NCAA division 1. Start from rounds of 32 until only 8 survivors left to play for the candidate.
Didn't something similar happen in the last candidates, when Ding played a lot of last minute tournaments as well?
I really thought he was about to start the video with “another day another victory for the og’s”
Clickbait bull crap. Here to just kill your watch percentage.
Interesting
The name of Alirezas tournament is in itself some sort of mockery of the rules 😀
i hope So will make an event which named Wesley So Road To Candidate
Let's announce a tourney for wesley❤
Well, at least the cheat Nieman is nowhere near qualifying… Look on the bright side.
i like the candidates idea, all of this can be solved if they add a rule that a tournament need to be agreed upon a few months ahead by fide
Chess drama is quickly becoming my favourite genre
Not a good system, not even in theory. FIDE must change it.
Please play Giri!
No idea how you can make such a boring topic so interesting
Players can change their rating through FIDE tournaments, but there is no ruleset for regulating FIDE tournaments? How is that possible?
Wow, I imagined the chess world to be this profound and organized group of distinguished gentlemen, in reality it's a real circus lol
The irony is not lost on me, that negotiating all this, is in fact like trying to negotiate a game of chess!
What happened at chennai was an actual proper tournament without lack of evidence we cannot say it was not preinformed, and their were 4 indians 4 foreign many of them well reputed plus all having a chance at fide circuit points, meanwhile what alireza ferouza did is outright disgusting playing with 3 gms who r only playing to further his cause, its like day and night situation u r comparing here, what alireza did anyone who is a gm can start piling up and qualify to candidates and 10 in the world even, what he did deyond cheating and a disgrace to chess to say the least, but somehow an accused by magnus gets more hate than him quite a shocker really.
As I understand, Alireza wants to show that FIDE's way of doing this is wrong (stupid). They should know in advance, that this will happen. And I'm not even saying that someone will use this badly written law, but that someone will show them, that this is wrong. So, for the future, remember that writing a law is hard and not everyone can do it.
Chess is dead.
Wow finally can quit chess!
chess is actually a reality program
Trash content but amusing how your voice just gets higher and higher…..at 12 53 a wine glass shattered at 13 40 the dog screamed and ran out.
Don't think that sudden 'pop up' tournaments that massively aid a players rating needs are very fair.
W for Alireza. The rules are bad and he's, hopefully, forcing Fide's hand to make the rules better. I think the only way this could hurt chess is if they arbitrarily declared his Race to the Candidates tourney doesn't count without adjusting the rules to indicate why moving forward.
L for Nepo. What a sore loser for trying to dunk on Ding. Nepo is the the non-cheating version of Hans.
Can you make a video on Magnus 10000 euros fine
the games in the firouzja tournament are also complete matchfixing look at them they just ff in drawn positions it is a joke
It's so interesting when you explain the elo rating system. Basically, in a video game Age of Empires 2, the elo system is also used. But there, you lose your elo for inactivity. Perhaps something like that should also be implemented in chess? And yeah, drawing with lower rated opponents makes you lose points, it makes perfect sense.
gotham click on the magnifying icon to get better statistic of rating gain and loss
Great story telling, as usual.
Gotham if he made Fabi content: 🤑💸💳
loopholes
You totally did it Levy. The problem is simple : to the begining of the year, all tournaments must be given for the year. In 2024, For the 31th january, for year 2024, all tournaments must been known.
100 points difference between players for the tournament to be eligible to FIDE. DONE!
Bro why is there always so much drama in chess 😂
But I absolutely agree with your sentiments in the video, hate the game (by FIDE’s rules) and not the players
All change that needed it is to remove elo rating spot entirely.
FIDE needs to disband itself. Harikiri. Dvorkovich should be banned for ever again watching chess, and criminally charged if he does it anyway.
