Chess | Drama! Fid’s CEO slam the claims of Magnus Carlson candidates of Hikaru Nakamura. Chess news

Fid CEO Emil Sutowski has responded to the recent criticisms of Hikaru Nakamura about the rating qualification site of the candidates. Nakamura suggested that the former world champion should be fully rated spots Magnus CarlsonPossible return. Sutowski now said that Nakamura’s claims were factually incorrect.Karlson, who won the World Championship five times, stepped away from the throne. Since then, China’s Ding Liran and Indian teenager Gukesh have occupied the post.“Hikaru often makes a statement in good belief, but without knowing all the facts, and it is a problem. Certainly, he has a large platform, making him difficult to deny a little. But it is … well, acceptable,” Sutovski said.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe now!Sutovski confronted Nakamura’s claim about the rule being designed for Carlson. He said: “He (Hikaru) claims that we have designed a rating spot for Magnus, but it is completely irrational. This rating qualification exists for years – always had a rating spot (in fact, actually, two is used). If it is especially limited to Magnus, it can only be ready for the world. Why will it leave it only – we will leave it for the top two?”“Let me explain the logic: In the previous cycle, the highest-rated players who did not qualify through other routes could enter (this is why Alirza Firuza qualified, although his method was not completely Kosher-that was around number 6 in the world at that time). We later do not include the best people in the world. 6 or number 7, where the rating differences become negligible. It is more rational for rewarding players who are almost qualified through other means. So we have limited it to the top two – candidates should not just exclude the world. 2. ““The logic is straightforward: it had nothing to do with Magnus. We never expected his return – why would he come back now? Will he suddenly return after losing 50 rating points? The suggestion is no meaning.”The FIDE rating spots will be honored on the basis of an average rating of six months from August 2025 to January 2026. Players will have to complete at least 40 games between February 2025 and January 2026, including 15 games in the frequent rating list.“This is not the first time Hikaru has made factual claims without proper knowledge. When we started the Fide Circuit, he immediately called it ‘A Stupid System’, claiming that he could win something random open with only 2900 performance. Later he realized that he could not score many points in the weekly tournament – he did not read the bus rules properly.
