His classical is 2499, simply super underrated in rapid.
His perfomance so far is very solid, he has played 5 GMs and did well.
He can beat fagnus, looking forward to it.

didn't FIDE recently change the rules based on the results of endgame tablebases, allowing up to 75 or 100 moves for specific endgames?

(and be glad we aren't playing Thai Makruk. That game has extremely autistic and demanding move counting rules that take the specific types of remaining material into account for pawnless endgames, making an already drawish game even more drawish.)

Please give me examples of middle game positions where a player is up a lot of material (2 pieces or more) but is slightly worse or worse

Middle game, mind you. Not opening traps

Quoted By:

As a gay chess player I often find myself navigating a double-edged sword of stress. Playing chess on the board can be incredibly intense; the pressure to make the right moves, anticipate my opponent's strategies, and maintain focus is overwhelming at times. But then there's the stress of being a gay chess player off the board where societal expectations and the fear of judgment can weigh heavily. Thankfully, I draw inspiration from the amazing role models in the professional chess community. Just as I expand my chess repertoire by studying the games of grandmasters, I also find ways to broaden my social repertoire by observing how they navigate their own identities and challenges. Their success and courage help me cope with my own stress reminding me that both the chessboard and life are about strategy, resilience, and the beauty of being true to oneself.

What do you think about Stoyko exercises?

>Find a fairly complicated position
>Get out a pen/pencil and paper
>You have unlimited time
>Write down every (pertinent) line for as deep as you can see, making sure to include an evaluation at the end of the line. This will likely include dozens of lines and several first ply candidate moves.
>At the end state which move you would play and it’s “best play for both sides” line becomes the PV
>When you are done, go over each line and its evaluation with a strong player and/or a computer. Look for lines/moves you should have analyzed but missed, any errors in visualization (retained images, etc.), any lines where you stopped analyzing too soon, thus causing a big error in evaluation (quiescence errors), any large errors in evaluation of any line, whether the above caused you to chose the wrong move etc.
