@anishgiri People also said Gukesh was gonna steamroll Ding. Does this imply that once you become World Champion, you will be steamrolled by the next challenger? I wonder who is gonna steamroll Sindarov
Huge congratulations to Carissa Yip on qualifying for the FIDE Women’s Grand Prix 2026–2027! 🎉♟️
Earning her spot via the rating list - and becoming the first American to do so - is a remarkable achievement. The Grand Prix is one of the key parts of the Women’s World Championship cycle, offering a direct path to the Candidates Tournament.
We’re proud of you and cheering you on at the Saint Louis Chess Club! 🇺🇸

@Gyan49485 I think Alireza gained rating at the GS, even though there was a chance for him to bleed rating as you say. Both he and Wesley have won the last two Sinquefield Cups where you play the best of the best. I don’t see how they are overrated
@AIsaac96@Gyan49485 Fabi has played mostly closed tournaments too. Didn’t play the grand Swiss or World Cup. He did play US masters though. Where do you think most of Fabi’s rating come from?
