Checking on Norway results and realizing Ju Wenjun has not impressed outside the match in 2 years now makes the recent Candidates results even more upsettingπ€¦
@sf9801705496 In 14 Candidates Games: She lost to Goryachkina once, Anna Muzychuk once, Assaubayeva twice
In 7 Norway games: She lost to Divya once and Assaubayeva once so far
In Prague: she played one game against Divya and won
@HavaldarAnkith It is such an especially funny framing when he's lost a classical game in his last 4 classical tournaments now:
- Norway 2024 (Pragg)
- Olympiad 2024 (Fedoseev)
- Norway 2025 (Gukesh)
- This (Jordan)
4 losses in the last 32 games (not counting the leagues).
"Jorden van Foreest is the 1st player to beat Magnus Carlsen in classical chess since Gukesh did it in the famous table slam game in Norway Chess 2025". Also his first tournament since Norway 2025.
@NetflixTheQG This tweet is correct, Humpy challenged for the title by virtue of getting 2nd in WGP at the time, the Women Candidates didn't exist at the time
