@anishgiri@anishgiri what do you think about FIDE using the classical rankings to select the 8 candidates? Simply selecting the top 8 ranked players to compete. I think being able to manage your top ranking while competing in the best tournaments show your real strength.
@DavideNastasio@anishgiri@VBkramnik@chesscom I still don't get why people don't understand that playing online and OTB is not the same. You don't need to press a clock, and that is a major difference. Also, visualizing in 2D on a screen is different from a physical chessboard. All these factors make a big difference.
I have, this morning, received a congratulatory call from my brother Dr @MBawumia, following my emphatic victory in Saturday’s election.
Thank you, Ghana.
What's happening in North Carolina right now in the aftermath of Helene is by all rights one of the great scandals in American history. A devastating failure by the federal government. Bureaucratic incompetence and indifference on a catastrophic scale, resulting in the needless deaths of hundreds of Americans. Kamala should lose the election in a landslide just because of this disaster alone. It's that bad. And yet the media ignores the story almost completely.
