@general_abn Wouldn't say it doesn't matter, but in general a FIDE classical rating is considered more credible at higher levels

@chessfan_9 @fins0905 Big difference. Nadal's issues were/are physical + humiliated not really accurate. If he'd lost to a qualifier in first rd at RG it might hold some weight, but he lost to Zverev, one of the world's best players.

@Ruhichess @Chessentials_ @IglesiasYosha Good grief, stop digging. Even your comment about beating 1300s "almost every time" is ridiculous in the context of your rapid "achievements"

Jemand lädt auf Tiktok ein Video mit den kleinen Geräuschen hoch, die seine Katze macht, während sie Milch trinkt, ein Mann aus Usbekistan legt Musik darauf, weitere Musiker kommen zu einem unglaublichen Mashup zusammen und am Ende entsteht eines der besten Videos in der Geschichte des Internets 💜
