@chesscom_in@rpraggnachess@NorwayChess Overjoyed for Pragg..historic win with 4 classical victories in a row!!
But also quite worried about Gukesh.
The losses keep piling up & with Sindarov in the WCC later this year, I'm getting increasingly nervous.
Hope he peaks at the right time 🤞
@Nick_khandelwal I've backtested several short-vol strategies from 2019–26, & many of them were flat/negative in 2023 despite doing well in 24–25.
Never really figured out what made '23 so tough.
Was '23 a similar RV > IV regime?
Makes me wonder if there's still light at the end of the tunnel.
@Vikas662005 Same with Mayank Yadav.
Pace is a gift, availability is a skill.
Makes you respect Akhtar n Brett Lee even more for surviving at 150+ kph year after year 🫡
