Why is Aeroflot Open not on the events page?


Being relevant and kind: The event is being ignored by Chessbase, Chess.com and TAKE TAKE TAKE - no mention of Nepo or Dubov or Grischuk or indeed Hans Niemann (whose games have been spectacular) - and Grandmasters Peter Heine Nielsen have posted on X that the organisers illegally played the Russian national anthem at the start of the tournament. I do not know what Nielsen's beef is with chess being played in Moscow actually is but he comes across to me (being relevant and kind you understand) as a fabulous coach and borderline half-wit when it comes to simple ratings and fair play. Peter Heine Nielsen also said that Hans is not strong enough to qualify for the US team/
Chess.com of course, being relevant and kind, has as a bunch of Yankees the absolute right to ignore the Aeroflot Open and the player they themselves produced a 72 page document saying that they had no evidence at all that he in any way cheated against Magnus causing Magnus to pull out of the Sinquefield Cup... yet they banned him the next day and have contributed to a 21 year old being perceived without any evidence an OTB cheat.
I do not care if he looked up MCO II as a sixteen year old while playing blitz on line or if he smashed a mirror in Sane Louie - I am however shocked at the ignoring of the games, the fine games Hans has played in Moscow over the last couple of days.
I have been to Moscow, and I do hope that Hans returns safely and - honestly - that he does well or even wins the Open.
