To all the youngsters/players who won and will win any chess tournament and those who are dreaming: You are all great!! Ignore the people who make you feel you don't deserve the title just because Mr. Carlsen has withdrawn. You work hard, you strive, you endure, you succeed, you deserve it!. His absence in the competition doesn't make you any less. You are loved, you are admired, you will always be supported.💕❣️ Congratulations!👏👏👏

[@carlo_cali]

This man speaking was so incredibly friendly to everyday spectators. It was hard to find direction as the non-chess staff didn't really know what was going on. He was on the Women's side on day one and he was really nice, respectful, and full of class.

[@AravindRavi]

[@MrSupernova111]

Interesting take on the future of chess. Maybe not rapid nor blitz is the future or chess but a slightly longer format to still get multiple games per day with enough time to calculate critical positions. Even 60 minutes per side (no second time control) and 2-3 games per day could be enough to spark more interest in classical chess. Congrats to both Murzin and Humpy on winning gold!

100% agree. I hope FIDE will come to their senses and rethink their unsustainable model and antiquated rules. Sadly, however, I don't think they will. Hence, I wish those who are better at promoting chess all the best for their non-FIDE chess endeavours.

[@SlayerOfTheDamned]

It’s a dress code. Everyone follows the rules regardless of their ranking. Even if you’re number one. I highly doubt you’ll throw a fit if it was number 173 in the world getting fined and leaving.
