FIDE have gone mad, how can they ever think of amending the Criteria for G.M norms by allowing 9 games from 3 min online BLITZ tournaments to count towards a the final Norm for a Grandmaster??! I was quite shocked to see Levy Rozman's youtube outlining how he has been awarded the GMs Title based on 9 online BLITZ games v Gms and how FIDE as changed its Criteria? Don't het me wrong I do like Levi Rozman but cannot agree gaining Gm Norms through online BLITZ games is anywhere near equal to anyone gaining that Norm through over the board play in Classical Chess, god knows what the likes of Kasparov, Karpov, Carlsen will think of FIDE'S Decision not too impressed I would suggest!!
I know right! It’s almost to crazy to be true

It almost sounds like an April Fools joke from 2022.
Oh wait.
