@EmilSutovsky I enjoyed the events. I liked that the men's and women's playoffs were staggered. It would be good if that could be done with earlier rounds too.
@ChrisBirdIA Chris, i donβt think we as should be normalizing tantrums like that. It does affect players who are in a middle of a game who hear loud noises. In many sports such acts are penalized as unsportsmanlike behavior in order to send a message to younger athletes.
@GMJacobAagaard Elo is useful for some things but not world rankings. The FIDE Circuit seems flawed too though. Chess has no stable circuit and never has. Plus why exclude games between top layers in top leagues
