I really don't think you understand how professional chess works lol
I'm telling my opinions, is it rating dependent too?
Why is this site full people trying to patronize you all the time? you can share your opinions as well, and we see how professional chess works?
in the past last year Ding kept the title of 'world champion' but seriosly no one never treated him like one. This was like a story, told between kids and tired elites who just doesnt want to bother, people just smiled behind his back..
It was Ian's incompetence to miss that chance, he couldnt just keep his cool and failed. I never had seen Ding as a world chess champion, and finally its over.
I know nothing about Gukesh, never seen him at big tournaments, how come Fabi cant just get the title, but gukesh.. people getting old i guess
