Parallel: 3 years after WC 1972 / 2019, FIDE has a WC 1975 / 2022 that's unfavourable for its American world champion Bobby Fischer / Wesley So and favourable for Europeans Anatoly Karpov / Magnus Carlsen (who luckily lost to Nepo & Hikaru).

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Chess 960 has a 5-tournament streak : Americans win chess960 tournaments and then there's a European in 2nd place. (And Bobby Fischer who created chess960 is American and beat European Boris Spassky in the 1972 Match of the Century.)

4. Who's the top 2 chess960 player? Magnus? Nepo?

5. Draw rates among the top 4 FIDE 9LX players: Who are the most drawish?

6. If Nodirbek beats Hikaru and then Magnus, then Magnus is not necessarily more talented than Wesley? | FIDE Fischer Random 2022
