watch them not give magnus' spot to abasov but a second rating or circuit spot …
Indian tournament shall not be counted. Same with Alireza and old grandmasters
Gotham should never fail to play a 10 game match against Giri at Christmas. Maybe if Levy wins, next year there might be a GM Rozman.
They were attacking Niemann for months. This here is a real scandal. Alireza looses all his credibility. If he goes for that, he lost all his respect in the Chess world. Very bad style, questionable character. Alireza is so young, he should try in style and not in this manner.
All FIDE's fault
bro played a 99.0 percent game today
Thinking Ding situation and this are the same seems kinda dumb. Sorry but nepo Is very unkind
Levy never fails to turn a chess drama into a nail-biting reality show.
2:18 “and that adds up to something”
It’s wonderful to see that statistics degree is not being wasted on Levy 😅
Reminds me of boxing, not sure if today it's the same, but back in the day Champions would choose to fight nobodies and old people to keep their title safe.
classical is So different from Blitz and Rapid maybe they shouldn't count at all
Wow, FIDE is run by old and out-of-touch men who made an out-of-touch decision, shocker. Even the bit where top ten players get invited to tournaments – it's so vulnerable to exploitation and creates a bubble. Not to mention, FIDE reserves the right to say "nuh uh" to any tournament they want, which means they could nullify a tournament if they ever want a specific person in the candidates bc "reasons." That lack of transparency is awful.
I think it's clear that FIDE can't run chess anymore, and I wonder if moving towards more online, esports style stuff is the answer. Even something as simple as trying to play a game with blitz time controls OTB is a nightmare when there's a time scramble – it just doesn't work.
is the audio off-sync or is that youtube?
But the question is: is it that easy to win 6 games in a row even against a much lower rated player? Zero draw possible. Answer: not that easy. Levy could probably draw one game against Giri in a 10 game match
Well it was a good run. Now that the chess world is finished, what are you going to do instead? Poker?
Money came to chess together with popularity, so came manipulations… FIDE now needs to do a lot to correct the rules and regulations
Feel sad for Wesley
If Fide doesn't accept the ratings from Alireza's tournament than that means that they are hypocrites and can not even admit a small mistake they made in the rules. I am just wondering if this rule was always like this why didn't anyone took advantage and gain points like this before ???
Legitimately hilarious situation, FIDE are a clown fiesta in this respect….
The fact that i did not understand anything in this video but the memes were crazy😂😂😂😂😂
Firouzja is a cheat
Chess needs an overhaul. If tennis can do it with the ATP so can chess.
I literally just beat my dog in a match 10-0 without cheating. Okay I had to help him move the pieces, but other than that it was 100% legit. However, I must decline any potential spot in the candidates tournament, as Toronto is too far away.
Want to know the latest drama in the chess world, subscribe to goth….. jk, subscribe to Vladmir Kramnick
Alireza was trash all year
19:28
"What Firouzja's doing is completely legal it's just…y'know…questionable."
I think you mean it's very much UNETHICAL Levy. Even if FIDE allows it, I see chess as a very noble and respectful sport. Firouzja was always a person I didn't like, his technique is unique and he is pretty damn good at the game but his personality is too shady. This just proves it. Like you said Levy, this feels like he's taking advantage of a hole in the system.
Is it the system's fault? Absolutely, they should not allow this.
Is it a very shitty thing to do and very disrespectful to other players who worked day and night to get their rating up? Yes again.
I hope they fix it asap. Thanks for the great info Levy.
Levy's passion is so uplifting! I could be listening to him all day long!
In addition, in the tournament of Alireza, the quality of the games are very questionable, full of mistakes from his opponents, what makes it even more suspicious. If he has won these games with brilliant play, it would be a little bit more legitimate. (but still would be questionable).
@7:42: "So this man Leinier, after basically just vibing the entire year, gets second place…”
That is quite an interesting accusation.
17:40 ROFL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ding Liren already qualified because of his rating but needs 30 games to be considered active.
Alireza Firouzja farms rating to qualify – he has not qualified yet.
but you can pay all players to favour only one in the games.
I hate your clickbait titles and thumbnails
A lot of rules are garbage …fide 👎
It's legal when you do it the first time…
It was so cold here when Levy showed up and gave me a blanket❤
Amazing. Explanation
Lost a lot of respect for Alireza over this. Dude also likes Andrew Tate tweets. Here's hoping the new wave of Indian/Uzbek top players are better people than him.
…I can’t believe Chess has a wonkier qualification system than the Capcom Cup for Street Fighter
Can anyone tell me where has Ding Liren been after winning the wc? He never played anything again nor is he defending his title!
How is ding liren in the candidates btw. He didn't even play anything this year
He likes making his same point 8 million times😂
Just bought your book today dude, Merry xmas ❤
The main problem here is that EVERYBODY COULD do the same if they wanted to. But some people are shameless, some others has some morals and those shameless ones wins.
Fabi should be world champ if not Magnus lmao
I wish Magnus just out of spite decides to play the candidates to screw Alireza over.
Havent watched the video yet but judging by the title of the video I already know that the chess world is not finished
Alireza is Ding liren this season 😂
I think fide circuit should be removed.
Alireza is play chess off the board lmaoo
