It's because most tournaments are organized with the top players of the previous year. Pretty sure Arjun will be invited next year.

We really need to see Arjun face the top 10, he is clearly destroying good GMs over and over. He deserves to face the most elite to truly test himself. He is India's #1 for sure!

loving this Arjun going sicko mode arc

[@panda4247]

The interview with Arjun was cool. He looks so humble, yet so aware of his own strength and his teammates. He did not just say he has more experience against lower rated opponents; he said that it's a team strategy because Pragg and Gukesh have more experience lately against the top players (both have been in the candidates and other top-level tournaments). They can draw even the top guys (Magnus, Naka, Nepo, Fabi,...) while Arjun can "farm" on board 3 - it is true that many "lower rated" players would choose to play it safe for some drawish line against 2750+, and Arjun seems to be crushing them anyway. So as a team strategy, it's very good. Of course it is sad that Arjun himself wasn't invited so much (the invitations are often sent quite in advance, so maybe he wasn't so high-rated or well-known when those were sent. I hope he will get to the invitation tournaments next year.. Now he is almost 2800, he shan't be "ignored". However, from the tournament organizers' perspective, they probably don't want to invite all the Indian top GMs (it's better to have players from different countries in the tournament, because of something.. media coverage? viewership from those countries? something...) - they have Gukesh, Arjun, Pragg, Vidit (who is good for content, which is a stupid thing to say, but it may be a factor...)

Every time you think that, a little white bar jumps up a bit somewhere out there in the universe. I want to develop a “human eval bar” one that would respond to good human moves, Tal moves, brave sacs and tricky deep yet ultimately unsound tactics. . We could call it the Bar And Library Level Status . Or B.A.L.L.S. Indicator. It will only be available on this channel. Others will have to pay a fee to license its use on their site.
