each player in the candidates is a "candidate" who's trying to win the tournament so they can play for the WCC, just like there are presidential candidates, and in the World Championship usually it's the World Champion trying to defend his title and there's the challenger from the Candidates who's trying to win the World Championship just like the president is running to keep his office (well, not this year), and there's someone else trying to win the Presidency. And on that note, the president this year is stepping down and there's two new people trying to win the Presidency just like how last year Magnus Carlsen stepped down from the World Championship and two Candidates players were playing for the World Championship. Also I find it interesting how the Elections and the WCC are happening in the same month in the same year. I just wanted to share this with u all. Happy Election day!

Thread to update with and link to key ideas regarding Magnus vs The World vote chess game.Last Update: Apr/20 at 12:00 am ET Candidate Moves 12... Bf7 (fine alternative to 12... Qe5 due to more votes to stop the bad 12... c5) 12... Qe5 (objectively a good reply for many reasons, but less votes than 12... Bf7) Bad Moves 12... c5 (loses a pawn + creates a permanent weak backward pawn for zero compensation) Key Analysis Comments Meme by @CantaloupeChess Comment by @Kamouchek Meme by @FeistyBar Meme by @Shikaddi Analysis by NM @uzkuzk Analysis by NM @uzkuzk Analysis by @WhoopsStalemate Comment by @agnayca Comment by Coach NM @Fischwitsch Meme by @VaylingSrikkax Meme by @Bananan20 Previous Analysis Comments 11... Qe6 10... d6 9... Bxg3 Meme by @CantaloupeChess Comment by @Kamouchek Qe5 is a multi tasks move: Attack g3 making a distraction Opportunity to bring ou queen in the action on c5 Delay the move a4 from Magnus Keep our bishop flexible for his better square later Meme by @FeistyBar Meme by @Shikaddi Analysis by NM @uzkuzk Qe5 is too far behind in votes to catch up to c5. Bf7 seems like a fine alternative. Analysis by NM @uzkuzk I suggest voting Bf7. I agree that Qe5 is a better move, Qe5-Qc5 is a decent endgame. But Qe5 is not catching up to c5. It’s not even catching up to Bf7.  People have mentioned that Bf7 a4 is quite bad for black. I think it’s playable. Bf7 a4 a6 a5 Nd7 Nd5 Nc5 Bc4 Kb8. Magnus is better but no knockout.  Analysis by @WhoopsStalemate This is what I have so far: Analysis on the three most voted moves, feel free to check for mistakes Comment by @agnayca 🎯 VoteChess Alert: We’re About to Throw the Game! 🧠 Magnus Carlsen is playing against all of us — and a blunder is winning by 1,000+ votes. ❌ Blunder: 2,712 votes✅ Correct Move: 1,681 votes ⚠️ The mistake is on top.💥 We can fix this — but only if you vote smart.⏰ Time remaining: Less than 15 hours! 👇 Scroll down to the forum. Read the analysis. Join the rescue. 📢 Let’s not hand the win to Magnus.📌 Vote wisely. Share this. Rally now. Comment by Coach NM @Fischwitsch ...c5 continues to haunt us. 12...Bc6 almost deserves an exclamation point as it completes development, prepares the ...d5 pawn break, but most importantly, it prevents ...c5 from being contemplated. Our main task now is to prevent ...c5 from being played. 12...Bf7 feels OK, and it is the second most popular choice. Developing a piece, adding pressure against the castled queenside, and connecting our rooks has some positive things going for it, even if it feels a bit committal and we may have preferred keeping a watchful eye on the a4-e8 diagonal with that piece. I do like the team commentary of 12...Qe5, intending to trade queens with 13...Qc5 in response to 13. f4. At the time of writing, this move is significantly behind the anti-positional 12...c5 and playable 12...Bf7. My priorities are as follows: 1. AVOID 12...c5 2. Play 12...Qe5 if ...Bf7 and ...Qe5 (and all other) voters can unite, adding 2000+ votes to the current tally for 12...Qe5. 3. Settle for 12...Bf7 if it is the only way to prevent 12...c5 from being played. As long as people stop voting for 12...c5, there is plenty of time to make a serious push for 12...Qe5, which I think is generally a good plan to try and prevent Magnus' looming queenside initiative. If we split our vote between 12...Qe5 and 12...Bf7, then 12...c5 will likely prevail.  Meme by @VaylingSrikkax Meme by @Bananan20
