I want to say something more. It's great to be surprised with a bouquet of flowers on Women's Day. BUT I cannot express my gratitude and thanks enough for a post like the one @vishy64theking shared today. Such a gesture and appreciation from men can do wonders for girls. What a personality, a true champion and inspiration Vishy is!🙏

[Ramesh RB @Rameshchess]

Hearty Congratulations @pawnof64squares Aravindh Chithambaram for winning Prague Masters convincingly! Well deserved and much more to come! Special thanks to his sponsors Cholamandalam group, Kanika Mam🙏

@sanjeev8235357 @cantaloupetales @GMJacobAagaard Mr Abhishek seems to know better than Vishy Anand. These guys criticizing FIDE just to mollycoodle Magnus's ego and need for another world championship title is sickening

[B Naveen @BNaveen82]

@DeadStarLegacy @EmilSutovsky Yeah right. Select 12 players amongst yourselves and call it a world championship lol

[B Naveen @BNaveen82]

@MagnusCarlsen And now you want to undermine the existing setup and downplay the new Champions because of your insecurity. I would respect you more if you are willing to fight the younger players as you have always done. Stop dividing the chess world for your own selfish pursuits

[B Naveen @BNaveen82]

@MagnusCarlsen Screw you @MagnusCarlsen I used to be a huge fan of you, but now I am so disappointed that you have turned out to be an arrogant, self centered and a drama queen with a God complex. You quit the World championship cycle because you were tired of the pressure and preparation 1/2

[B Naveen @BNaveen82]

@TakeTakeTakeApp @EmilSutovsky Very nice clarification by Emil. I think @MagnusCarlsen is just losing his mind and wants to undermine the new World Champion by carving out a separate world championship. Time to put an end to his drama

[Emilchess @EmilSutovsky]

When one sees public rhetoric coming from Freestyle Chess leaders, it becomes clear, that the project is bound to fail.

" F U ", "They are so stupid", "Horse sh.t" etc.

And why all that? Because you want your private project to be called World Championship? Instead of finding a way to cooperate - as we do with several major organizers, to align the Calendar as we proposed for the benefit of players and fans.

So, to hype the things up you start a campaign belittling classical/regular chess, orchestrating media publications, and spicen it up with personal attacks?

That is not how you win hearts or money. And money is by far the main objective for this commercial project.

This is also not the way to appeal to chess community: you may hire lawyers and try to convince some players to violate their obligations. But it won't work at large - especially when you have nothing sustainable to offer. And chess players know that FIDE delivers and will keep delivering.

And you completely neglect entire chess society, focusing on few people interest - and for that sake go to war, demanding your project to be called World Championship?

All the above (and there is much more) are signs of the attitude that will lead to a failure.

FIDE is known for its readiness to be mindful, flexible, and to go extra miles towards partners, and especially players - and that was mistaken for weakness.

"I am bigger than FIDE" concept did not work even for Fischer and Kasparov - who tried it being reigning World Champions, while having a real dominance over their rivals at the time. Of course, initially the public may back a superstar vs the governing body. And you may lure in a couple of naive investors. But that is unsustainable - and we saw many examples of the kind.

Today FIDE is probably in the best position ever - and chess community sees it - we deliver unprecedented number of projects around the world, we keep increasing prize funds for top players and support for educational and social programs, and we can plan far ahead thanks to our partnerships East and West.

We'd love to work with any private project - in particular with ambitious ones.

But if you want a war - try us.

@askavrukh Is the cost per class or per month?

Wrote and directed this film for Fwd by Myntra featuring the world champions- @DGukesh and @vishy64theking . Produced by us at @braindaddotco but mostly by Devarsh!

@TarjeiJS Agree, it's a horrible software and barely usable. Freezes all the times when engine is running
