@EndgameaiChess In the last 4 editions (2022-2025), Magnus won 7 of the 8 world Rapid/Blitz Championships. Tournaments with 150 players and all (or almost all) elite players in the world. A single bad month and everyone is ready to call him out, insane

@chesscom Magnus, Garry, Paul Morphy. Dont need the 4th, the team can win all matches 3-0

[Federico Dipace @FedericoDipace]

@ChessbaseIndia Current Magnus streak as n.1 started in July 2011. In the previous list (March 2011) Vishy Anand was n.1

@anishgiri How did you start tweeting is a much more interesting question

@anishgiri Erwin L'Ami is a great commentator i have to say. Also without engines his evaluations of the positions are extremely good (ok maybe should be considered normal for a 2600 GM but still)

@EmilSutovsky Turin, Italy. It would be nice to visit the World Championship stage

[Federico Dipace @FedericoDipace]

@Vachier_Lagrave Looks a great idea. Also the ranking, instead of an elo that rewards inactivity, could be based on the result of these tournaments (final x points, semifinal y points etc, ofc adjustment on the rating of partecipants, similar to fide circuit scores)

[Federico Dipace @FedericoDipace]

@2700chess @ReykjavikOpen In my opinion, Fischer Candidates in 1971 should be included. Even if it was based on matches, still it is a unique tournament. 18.5 - 2.5 against Taimanov, Larsen, Petrosian. Insane. Assuming his opponents were around 2640, it is 2975 in 1971, ridicoulous

@FIDE_chess Last round of London 2013 Candidates: one of the biggest "what if" moment in chess history

[Federico Dipace @FedericoDipace]

@FIDE_chess Rating decay and number games to be considered active raised to at least X (e.g. 20): two things that fide said its already working on, would have prevented this situation

[Federico Dipace @FedericoDipace]

@PHChess This is way the current ranking should be based on recent tournament results, not elo points gained 10 years ago
