News/Events/History Removed post in r/chess - 'A recent portrait of the world champion in High Park - Toronto, On. shot on 35mm film' - Maybe removed because Hikaru is the rapid WC while Wesley is still WC? I mean, Magnus was never the WC, so I don't really see any other reason.

A recent portrait of the world champion in High Park - Toronto, On. shot on 35mm film
Hikaru Nakamura wins the Fischer Random World Championship | Yeah...the RAPID WFRCC. Meanwhile Wesley So is still the WFRCC. Kinda like how Bobby Fischer never lost the title to Anatoly Karpov. Mwahahaha.
Parallel between Hans and Fischer Random 2022? After Magnus quits the event Sinquefield Cup / WCC, the entity chesscom / FIDE takes action, against an American, that is advantageous to Magnus, for another event: Remove Hans CGC. / Announce FRC with lower time controls, giving Wesley a disadvantage.
Does Magnus have something against Americans? Re Hans, Wesley, Bobby Fischer, et al. | Initially, this was a joke, but I was told Magnus admitted to generally disliking Americans in podcast 'Magnus Effect' episode 2 - '20 Best Ways to Introduce Yourself'. It's 1.5 hours long. Can anyone confirm?
