What a refreshing read on Indian Independence day, from Arjun Erigasi's opinion on chess that matters most. We don't have repurposing Rating to unify to 1 number. Preserving contexts of Elo and it's sensemaking is one thing but its basis is everything.

I am very sad to learn the First ever Crash for Boeing 787 Dreamliner taking down, Aviation industry transforming Engineering Marvel - I worked on its Brain and Nervous system "SCOE and RDC" and Safety of flight testing 15 years back before 1st Flight. Still hard to digest this.

I have a long Admiration for Youth Olympic movement and heritage dialogue. What a game changer with African Leadership from Zimbabwe, IOC Presidency, a case for Women in leadership from the largest conferederation. Looking towards an eventful 2026 WOG Milan and YOG Senegal.
Results of the election for the 10th IOC President:
HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein 2
David Lappartient 4
Johan Eliasch 2
Juan Antonio Samaranch 28
Kirsty Coventry 49
Lord Sebastian Coe 8
Morinari Watanabe 4

Sorry N Srinath, it's a poor understanding of power equations or FIDE. No tom-dick-harry can blackmail FIDE. It is an unconscious intuition, it is the best leverage for Magnus, Ian and FIDE. When Olympiad Gold was shared, what was your felling as a Indian Captain. What was power?

Well! Leaders make leaders (not followers...). I deeply respect what @MagnusCarlsen has done in transitioning his legacy and acknowledging Ian's great comeback since Dubai. Today, World Championship is conquered by 18-year-olds, which is thought leadership, talent, and training.

What a wishful day, it has been. Another 18 year old Clinch the World Rapid, with an unusual undefeated 13 round Marathon. Koneru Humpy second World Women Championship title. 2024 is all about dogged the tie-breakers.

That is a real shame! Moral, ethics and law? which one did @Magnuscarlsen breach? Slapping with a fine is reasonable. If a player leaves the Chess tournament in any form of shame. Chief Arbiter should be responsible. This puts the organisers down so much, chess fans miserable.
I cannot imagine any sport where a player is told to conform to the rules and says he will not and can continue.
Having said that, this is bad for chess. And it is silly. Magnus did not look worse than many other participants. He did not mean to course offence and was from what he said, not impolite to the officials.
On the other hand, it was perfectly possible for him to change in the time given. If he had been in first place, it is a safe bet that he would have.
Thoughts?

@MagnusCarlsen - Many more happy returns of the day. Let your transformation continue to "take take take" shape.

Actually great man, with humble gestures. He sent me his 4th edition on How to reassess chessboard in a priority mail, saying I should have a copy. I have used his ideas in studying blind & sighted children playing chess. Joyful correspondence. He will be missed. RIP! silman
I grew up hanging with Jeremy Silman at Southern Cali chess tournaments and then had the pleasure to work with him for many of the early years at Chess.com. He was a brilliant writer and person, and quite frankly, one of the most hilarious people I ever met.
RIP, Jeremy 🙏❤️

Hats off to this outstanding talent and Heart to come forward and support the talent insitu.
How is this even possible?? Clearly she’s a talented artist. But to paint 15 portraits at once is more than art—it’s a miracle! Anyone located near her who can confirm this feat? If valid, she must be encouraged & I’d be pleased to provide a scholarship & other forms of support.
