2022 WFRCC: Magnus, Hikaru & FIDE cheated Wesley So, who should've been 2020, 2022 & 2024 candidates wildcard because Wesley So won in classical games (45+15=60) while Hikaru won in rapid games (25+5+2.5=32.5min).

That's the summary. The ff is the long version.

2 questions

Q1
Why isn't it unfair to Wesley So that FIDE lowered the WFRCC time controls from 60min in 2019 to 32.5min in 2022 ( w/o changing the name of course to 'rapid WFRCC'. if they change the name, then there's no problem ) considering the ff things?

---

Thing1
In the 2019 WFRCC, Hikaru & Magnus did better in 15+2=17min games than 60min games. Wesley So did better in vice-versa.

---

Thing2
Afaik
- (0min, 10min) = blitz
- [10min, 60min) = rapid
- [60min, 120min) = classical but unrated for 2200+ players.
- [120min, infinity) = classical

Hence, Wesley So should be the CLASSICAL WFRCC and then Hikaru is the rapid WFRCC.

Wesley So beat Magnus 3x CLASSICAL games in a row HUMAN VS HUMAN, no computer prep!

The last time this happened was Vishy Anand vs Alexei Shirov in 2000 FIDE classical WCC! (Not to be confused w/ 2000 PCA classical WCC where Garry cheated Alexei.)

---

Thing3
Yet for some reason FIDE insists that both 32.5min & 60min are 'slow rapid' while 17min is 'fast rapid'. They didn't even define these terms.

Check out the maths here:

I see only 2 reasonable definitions for slow & fast rapid.

-Def1 - Slow rapid means unrated classical [60, 120) & fast rapid is rapid [10, 60).

This means:
- There's no classical WFRCC.
- Wesley So is slow rapid WFRCC.
- Hikaru is fast rapid WFRCC.
- Hence, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.

-Def2 - Fast rapid & slow rapid cut up rapid [10, 60) into resp [10, 35) and [35, 60).

2 issues here:
- 60min is not in either of these intervals.
- Also, 32.5 is in [10, 35).
So neither 60 nor 32.5 are slow rapid. Lol.

This means:
- There's no slow rapid WFRCC.
- Wesley So is classical WFRCC.
- Hikaru is rapid WFRCC, specifically fast rapid WFRCC.
- Hence, again, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.

- Def3 - The definitions must be: Since 15+2=17 is fast rapid, we must have
- [10, X) fast rapid &
- [X, 120) slow rapid, for some

17 < X < 32.5.

Like say X is some arbitrary number like X=20 or X=30. Lol yeah right!!

---

Thing4
Conclusion:
I believe the 2022 WFRCC was a conspiracy to get Hikaru / Magnus to win in parallel w/ the Hans Niemann situation. Think about this:

- Magnus quits the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. 1 day later, Hans Niemann, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 CGC in that Hans is removed!

- Magnus quits the 2023 WCC. 1 month later, Wesley So, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 WFRCC in that the time controls are reduced w/o changing the name!

I hardly believe this is a coincidence. I bet Magnus even directed (or conspired w/) FIDE to remove (and hence cheat) Sergey (not American but still Jewish like Hans & Bobby) from the 2022 candidates. Sergey's replacement Liren even cited the ff as role models: Magnus, Garry & Veselin instead of Wesley, Bobby & Vlad ( as described in FlNsFKeq-iE ).

Of course there's no conspiracy at all if FIDE just says

'Ok Wesley So is classical WFRCC & Hikaru is rapid WFRCC. Sorry for the confusion!'

For chess:
The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.

For 9LX:
The ability to play 9LX is the sign of a gentleman or a lady. The ability to play 9LX well is the sign that you're not Magnus Carlsen. LOL!!!!

---

Q2
Consequently, why shouldn't Wesley So have been a wildcard in 2020, 2022 or 2024 candidates as the 2019 WFRCC winner considering
-Fabi was a wildcard in the 2019 WFRCC quarter-finals as the 2018 WCC runner-up, not by FRC virtue
-Hikaru & Magnus were 2019 WFRCC quarter & semi-finals wildcards, by FRC virtue for the 2018 unofficial WFRCC but lol the 2018 game itself was obviously for chess virtue

?

Well I suppose there's that being good at chess means you'll be good at 9LX but not vice-versa (unless you're Magnus lol)...

Pablo Mercado: So what is your advice to the Filipino chess players?

Uncle Bobby Fischer: My advice is to give up chess and take up Fischer Random.

- 2004Oct11, 15 years before nephew Wesley So became the inaugural WFRCC in CLASSICAL time controls.

2nd: Is Vidit the biggest reason India would want classical 9LX?

0

2023Nov Update - Vidit won the 2023 Grand Swiss!

1

Vidit beat Sergey Karjakin to get in the 2019 WFRCC quarter-finals. But then...

Wesley So & Fabi expectedly do better in classical than in rapid for both 9LX & chess. Now, I'm not familiar with Vidit but

- Wesley So does 30% better.
- Fabi does 40% better.
- VIDIT DOES 300% BETTER.

LIKE 50% CLASSICAL SCORE BUT 12.5% RAPID SCORE.

2

Vidit in 9LX
- is the top Indian classical player
- is the worst rapid player among the top 9 of the 2019 WFRCC.
- in classical ties for 2nd place w/ Fabi & Nepo behind Wesley So.

3

When is Tata Steel Classical Chess960 ? It should be a knockout where Vidit is seeded into the quarter-finals. It can be 60min, not 120min.

4

In the 2019 WFRCC, wesley so beat magnus in 3x classical in a row!

Question : When was the last time this happened in chess that someone lost 3x classical in a row in the finals of a FIDE or PCA WCC (or finals of knockouts candidates or semi-finals of a knockout WCC) ?

Answer : Vishy Anand beat Alexei Shirov in 2000.

2 whole decades Vishy's record stood - broken only in a variant!
