I really want the "Gotham Giri Smackdown" just to see what happens. Just imagine if FIDE decided to rate one but not the other!
Firouzja has done nothing wrong. The rules need to be reviewed but this happens pretty much in every other sport. Boxing decisions after the 12 round is sometimes dubious , in F1 penalties can be handed out without consistency and so on. Rules need to be tweaked. In a high performance environment competitors will explore the grey zones of the regulations like they should. Hate the game not the player. Also, rules should never change mid season with the exception of safety measures.
What difference does it make when an invitation only tournament is announced. What matters is that the tournament has even field of play
18:00 When FIDE look at the games that Alireza Firouzja played, they probably won't approve them as legit games. For instance the 2 games against Andrei Shchekachev that Alireza won were very suspicious. In the first game Andrei resigned in equal position according to the engines and it was with even material. In the second game Andrei sacrificed 2 pawns and a bishop for imaginary attack and then resigned short after. The other games are not clean either.
Disgraceful from Alireza.
I think that they should organize a private tournament with me and Magnus of 100 games so he can gain 0.0000001 rating just for fun… low key serious
Lol .. the bots' "pin of shame' "AI" botas are out tonight
we need a LADIES & GENTLEMEN merch!
this is crazy man
4 players, 1 spot… chess boxing royal rumble
Alright, I'm an Alireza fan from now on. That is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
Abolish FIDE.
gee, seems a bit like all those tournaments ran back to back in China for Ding to qualify.
like to make magnus donate rating points to levy
Just because it is okay by the rules does not make it okay morally or ethically
Y is blitz figured into classical at all?
Why not coming back to zonal, interzonal and finally candidate tournaments?
Make it so any event not registered by 31 March count for ratings or qualification.
Game not sport. According to Hikaru.
How is this different from what Ding did when he played a similar tournament in China to meet minimum number of games required? Shouldn’t the same standards be applied?
So glad Hans Niemann remains insignificant and unmentioned.
Shout out to Anish Giri for being the classiest one in the room in the midst of all this.
Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD do something. Ethically, Firouzja's a douche. He's the kind of guy who takes all the free samples because he can. No one said he had to limit himself to ONE free sample. Him doing what is allowed, doesn't make it right.
It's unfortunate because Wesley has been playing very well and Alireza has looked like hot garbage lately. The solution is clearly to put them on horses wearing armor and do a round robin knight's lance challenge.
Crazy shit for real 🤦🏽♂️😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
c'mon westly
I hope people abuse the system as much as they want and can until FIDE has to get their fucking act together.
The last time someone did this sus mess, they became World Chess Champion. This has to stop.
Nah, Ding needed matches so he made them, Firouzja need points so he made them…
No difference
Some bull shit
We need Kramnik to the rescue because this is certainly interesting!!!
The change in rules is BS. Last year Ding Liren played something like 23 tournaments in a month to qualify last minute for the candidates, and he became WC. No shot those tournaments weren't "no more than 2 in the same country".
Can we all just agree that Fabi should win the event so all the drama fades.
Levy: “I don’t want to insult your intelligence”
Everyone: since when?
Guess FIDE couldnt look 2 moves ahead and figure this would happen…
For him if Magnus or Hikaru just sleeps, the entire chess world is collapsing
FIDE: Good at chess, but not good for chess
good video
Well, governing bodies want their players to farm for the ratings… We need a structured system/circuit which is transparent…
I want Anand to arrange a tournament like Alireza and then qualify for candidates as he is also only 10 elo behind.
Just to piss Alireza off😂😂
Levy, the only thing that you did not mention is the EXTREMELY questionable decisions that Firouzja’s opponents made in their matches
There should be a set number of qualifying tournaments announced in advance before the year begins, and players must play in a minimum number of these qualifiers in order to qualify for the candidates.
FIDE. Getting bureaucracy down to a science.
This means you fight toughest players all over year and gain some rating and some dude plays some tournament at last week of year and qualifys candidates.
I think that's why Magnus gave up that world title 😂😂😂😂😂😂 so that he can enjoy 😂😂😂.
He must be laughing over these
just so you know london is England and England is part of the uk which is England Scotland Wales Northern Ireland
I had an opinion too. Why didnt you pull my tweet? @SisterFiddler95 if you dont want to lose my respect.
I find it incredibly double standard to not countr Alireza's tournament and I would love for him to battle this legally.
If he decided to this 2 months ago no one would even look weird.
Firouja's being a bit of a weasel lol
he goes to Spain, Barcelona is not a country its a city in Spain. Typical American
Yeah I think u and anish could play a deca-round robin… if its in the rules, its in the rules.
