@JoshNoLook I mean, magnus was given a forfeit for wearing jeans last year, while in the same tournament multiple other individuals also wore jeans. And other people also scream (ivanchuk) or slam tables at events like these, didn't see them getting penalized.

@turnabouttess Kasparov didn't get the chance to show dominance in other formats and had major advantage in openings compared to his contemporaries in classical. Swimming has a lot more formats than chess and achievements in team sports are harder to compare.

@anaraki_kiarash @HansMokeNiemann 4 out of his 9 wins were against IMs , lmao.

@DeveshsK_ Keymer, Nodirbek, and Arjun deserve a spot in the candidates a lot more than Wei Yi, Bluebaum and Sindarov. It's not even debetable actually. Classical Rating system beats one totally random tournament (Grand Swiss) and one tournament (Wc) that isn't decided in classical chess.

@opraver @sigmarshanks That's a clear indication that base 17-year old dragon is as strong as gear 4. Face design upscale.

@SurajSSubraman1 Djokovic federer h2h is 27-23. Federer lost 4 matches to Joker after he turned 38 and Joker was in his prime. So yeah... age affected their final h2h score.

@Servaibhav @chess24com Both the average viewership(most important parameter) and Peak viewership was bigger than any other event in 2025 and that's factual. Keep on coping.

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@Servaibhav @chess24com eSports World Cup had the biggest viewership than any other chess event in 2025 and it wasn't close. Thank you for adding another data point for the low-iq research.

@promotedpawns Has he tho? As far as i remember, he only made a very neutral anti-war comment at the very start of the war, and hasn't spoken about it since. He seemed ok to participate in state organized events multiple times also. Which prominent israeli players endorsed the genocide?

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@Ruhichess @Maxwell12402371 @hellokostya I never said it was the absolute best, but one of them. Still is better than 14 games. Question, what made the difference between Fabi, Naka, Nepo and Guky in the candidates? Was it their h2h match ups or something else? And that goes for other winners also not just for Gukesh.

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@Ruhichess @Maxwell12402371 @hellokostya Elo is historically one of the best systems for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games like chess. Of course it has flaws, but i will take over a very flawed qualification cycle and 14 games that is candidates. Universally accepted method vs lottery.

@Sinchanrc @chess24com Why would i lie?

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@turnabouttess Right now, they are on an equal level for me. Magnus will be undisputed in a couple of years if he keeps on winning almost every tournament he plays.

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@Aman_Singh00025 Karpov was winning every major tournament he played for 10 years from 1975-1985, and he had already reached 2700 by 1974, the first to do so since fischer. And was already dominant before 1975. Gukesh isn't dominant at all, it's not even Magnus fault that he gets shade.

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@Ghassanareyli @GMJacobAagaard Nice comparing a game that had documented matches from 150 years ago, to something that started a few months back. Incredible, bold, beatiful.

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@chess_insights @GothamChess Comparing Speedchess matches who have a big number of games and 50+ TT events, to the total randomness that is World Cup and Grand Swiss💀
World Cup, Grand Swiss and Candidates are a spin of the wheel events, it is very clear that most times the best players don't emerge.

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@NickMigs @turnabouttess He actually won 2.5 elo points (why lie?lol), but elo has nothing to do with your original argument. He won a classical tournament against those 3 a few months back. All 3 had the chance to prove that they are better classical players than him and failed.

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@NickMigs @turnabouttess He won a classical tournament with all of these guys like 3 months ago, lmao.

[UVESEF @uvesef]

@Bertrand_Hussel @GMJacobAagaard Magnus won 15 elo points in his last 35 games. Him not playing is what is keeping him away from 2900 possibly 3000 rating.
