who is going to be the next world champion
Sort:
Gukesh will try his best to keep the title in his hands and the best competitors can be 1. Magnus Carlsen (if he plays) 2.Fabiano Caruana 3.Alireza Firouza 4.Hikaru Nakamura 5. Rameshbabu Praggnanadha 6.Eirigaisi Arjun 7.Ding Liren (Note) the sequence is not on the basis of strength of players)
Not even sure there will be a next championship in the first place. Fide seems to be in trouble.
Best guess is that Dommaraju will defend his title next time.
Dont think Carlsen will try again.
Hikaru will play, but for entertainment. Of course I'd love to see him win for once, but its probably too late for him now.
Otherwise there is just too much competition to know or even just to guess.
