@RenierCast@EmilSutovsky How many historic, fantastic games would you lose from history if this format had always existed?
Game 6 of Magnus v Nepo as just 1 of many. We need 2 stop the rot instead of trying to attract the Tik-Tok, no attention span, streamer generation. It reduces what classical is.
FIDE had one asset. Classical chess. It cannot be done on a computer screen. The qualification to the classical World Championship will now be mainly through rapid events.
This is exceptionally sad.

@FIDE_chess Just watering down the integrity of classical chess and taking away one of the best events on the chess calendar as it was known. Change for the sake of change is not progress. This does not hold the standards we need for the world championship cycle and it's future.
All game the commentator has been trying to make chess analogies, but then the Goat of chess is actually shown and there is silence as he doesn't know who he is...respect the #chess Goat

Judging by the Fagernes blogspot, it looks like an exceptional morning for English chess. GM norms for one young talent and another very strong player whose homing in on the GM title will be widely welcomed as long overdue.
