It would be nice, if VK would become with Bluebaum the 2nd German Player at the Candidates.

He made a new value for the German Elo Record from Najditsch's 2737 to a new world class Level + 35 and live #4 in the World on Nov 1st 2025

There are a lot engaged and smart young Players. I like to see Videos from The Big Greek, IM Georgios Souleidis and WGM Josefine Safarli, former Heinemann.

That open my eyes as an Amateur, Elo 1767.

Please, please.... puleeeeeze let Vincent Keymer finish top 3 so he can play in the candidates. He rightfully should've got a spot at the fide grand swiss. He's #4 now in the world rankings. But winning 6 matches straight in the world cup is like climbing Mt Everest on one leg.

These matches are so short it's hard for the better player to prove they're better. The favorite in game 1 might get dragged into an unfavorable or unfamiliar variation & lose & in the 2nd game they're desperate for a win so they take crazy risks & lose. If they go to tiebreaker its still short 2 game matches, just faster & faster.
