Arjun just playing easy tournaments against low rated opponents to get free rating 😂

[@squarecutatul6834]

Arjun can only beat the players he faces. He does well even in Closed super GM tournaments. Look for his performance in Shenzen tournament early this year. In this tournament he defeated a "low rated" player named Anish Giri.

[@Jaja-hx6ch]

I really like that Ju Wenjun is playing so many open tournaments now. Even if she loses sometimes, it doesn't matter, she tries even against much stronger opponents. Many women do not want to play with men at all and do not do so even for several years. Mariya Muzychuk played her last game against a man in June 2022, and many other top women do so too. Ju Wenjun now has 3 strong open tournaments in a month and she also skipped the next Women's Grand Prix to play more open.

[@sankara760]

Don't forget she basically almost held on against someone who is 200 points higher than her which is crazy

[@Jaja-hx6ch]

@@sankara760 With Arjun? Yes, it was quite close to a draw. But yesterday she draw Abdusattorrov who has 2765 elo, so he is over 200 better. And in the previous round she defeated Keymer playing black, he has 2729 elo, so the difference is also much more than 150. She's doing quite well.

It's great that this lady is playing men lately! 👏🏻

@poshyPorsche I did not say judit is not great ..

[@javier_me2]

​@poshyPorschewth does she have to do here?

[@Phoenix.219]

​@poshyPorscheyou didn't get the point. Every statement isn't a comparison. I am also glad that we are getting someone in this gen playing in open and actually having some nice games bcz we didn't have that since Hou Yofan stopped playing professionally. I hope Vaishali will do the same (she has played men but not in significant tournaments)

[@arvindhmani06]

@poshyPorsche Dumb comment, trying to be funny? Judit would be beaming with pride that she is playing in open tournaments.

[@aadarshsaraswat4]

Why member-only videos, can’t play just audio like regular videos. It pauses, when app is not in front.

[@gauravjha8938]

Apart from Gukesh jumping 10 places , Arjun jumping 4 places into the top 5 of the world is just a superb achievement by the young guns of India. They are not just improving day by day, they are all aiming to be the best.

[@chuhai4172]

ChessRanga is a great tool to improve at chess. Nice analysis and commentary from the game Arjun Erigaisi (white) and Ju Wenjun (black) in the Tepe Sigeman 2024 in Malmo, Sweden from the one and only incredible man of ChessBase India, MR SAGAR SHAH. White dominated the game.

[@himanshuagarwal4492]

I prayed for Time like this

[@squarecutatul6834]

I am looking forward to Chess Olympiad. What a line up Indian team will have! Gukesh, despite winning Candidates will have to play on board 2. Arjun will play board one, Prag board 3, Vidit board 4. Harikishna, SL Narayanan and Nihal Sarin would be the reserve players.

Please @chess India always use chess board display that has a bar on the side. It is so inspiring to see the bar while chess players are playing. Thank you

[@DhwajJyoti]

Sagar sir, a small suggestion in chessranga. The video player is too small and we can't see the board clearly, the questions ribbon takes up all the space. I advce you to increase the size of player.

Chessranga sounds like a promising idea. Just change the name to something more acceptable to a wider audience and make the UI look more appealing.You can hire a top MBA to handle these things and look to chessly for content inspiration.

[@randomd_dued_45690]

Keep assuming lol. What i stated is reality. Woman's world championship is a joke. I dont understand why they play in open tournaments to embarass themselves. The only 2 truly good women's players were judith and yifan and one of them never ever tried to be a women's world champion because she knew its true value. The other can be said to be the only respectable owner of that title who could actually justify it through her abilities.😂😂
