We've seen it a number of times that Nepo blunders and finds the winning move against himself but the opponent (in several cases Carlsen) does not. It's quite something!
Ian Nepomniachtchi actually started a conversation with him in their World championship match of all places, actually. Magnus seemed surprised, but they had a brief conversation about the game they played.

Chess is indeed insane. Even after playing many hours almost EVERYDAY since he was a little kid, a GOAT like Magnus can still be surprised by moves in this game. Fantastic to say the least.
For those of you who really want to know what happened. Nepomniachtchi explained to Carlsen that Diet Dr Pepper indeed tastes more like real Dr. Pepper.
The reaction was AWESOME, never saw him completely surprised. Ian after his training/redemption arc looks pretty good!! Ps. Cant stand when people say 2 as a screaming "TOO!!!"
From my understanding, there are very few players that the top level players can have a meaningful conversation about the game with as no one understands it at the level they do. And with Magnus? There's no better player to talk to about it for them, so getting him talking is probably in his best interest for him getting better.

Source:
p1w4Rr-1fL
---
That's the summary. The ff is the long version.
---
2 questions
Q1
Why isn't it unfair to Wesley So that FIDE lowered the WFRCC time controls from 60min in 2019 to 32.5min in 2022 ( w/o changing the name of course to 'rapid WFRCC'. if they change the name, then there's no problem ) considering the ff things?
---
Thing1
In the 2019 WFRCC, Hikaru & Magnus did better in 15+2=17min games than 60min games. Wesley So did better in vice-versa.
---
Thing2
Afaik
- (0min,10min) = blitz
- [10min,60min) = rapid
- [60min,120min) = classical but unrated for 2200+ players.
- [120min,infinity) = classical
Hence, Wesley So should be the CLASSICAL WFRCC and then Hikaru is the rapid WFRCC.
Wesley So beat Magnus 3x CLASSICAL games in a row HUMAN VS HUMAN, no computer prep!
The last time this happened was Vishy Anand vs Alexei Shirov in 2000 FIDE classical WCC! (Not to be confused w/ 2000 PCA classical WCC where Garry cheated Alexei.)
---
Thing3
Yet for some reason FIDE insists that both 32.5min & 60min are 'slow rapid' while 17min is 'fast rapid'. They didn't even define these terms.
Check out the maths here:
I see only 2 reasonable definitions for slow & fast rapid.
-Def1 - Slow rapid means unrated classical [60,120) & fast rapid is rapid [10,60).
This means:
- There's no classical WFRCC.
- Wesley So is slow rapid WFRCC.
- Hikaru is fast rapid WFRCC.
- Hence, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.
-Def2 - Fast rapid & slow rapid cut up rapid [10,60) into resp [10,35) and [35,60).
2 issues here:
- 60min is not in either of these intervals.
- Also, 32.5 is in [10,35).
So neither 60 nor 32.5 are slow rapid. Lol.
This means:
- There's no slow rapid WFRCC.
- Wesley So is classical WFRCC.
- Hikaru is rapid WFRCC, specifically fast rapid WFRCC.
- Hence, again, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.
- Def3 - The definitions must be: Since 15+2=17 is fast rapid, we must have
- [10,X) fast rapid &
- [X,120) slow rapid, for some
17 < X < 32.5.
Like say X is some arbitrary number like X=20 or X=30. Lol yeah right!!
---
Thing4
Conclusion:
I believe the 2022 WFRCC was a conspiracy to get Hikaru / Magnus to win in parallel w/ the Hans Niemann situation. Think about this:
- Magnus quits the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. 1 day later, Hans Niemann, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 CGC in that Hans is removed!
- Magnus quits the 2023 WCC. 1 month later, Wesley So, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 WFRCC in that the time controls are reduced w/o changing the name!
I hardly believe this is a coincidence. I bet Magnus even directed (or conspired w/) FIDE to remove (and hence cheat) Sergey (not American but still Jewish like Hans & Bobby) from the 2022 candidates. Sergey's replacement Liren even cited the ff as role models: Magnus, Garry & Veselin instead of Wesley, Bobby & Vlad ( as described in FlNsFKeq-iE ).
Of course there's no conspiracy at all if FIDE just says
'Ok Wesley So is classical WFRCC & Hikaru is rapid WFRCC. Sorry for the confusion!'
For chess:
The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.
For 9LX:
The ability to play 9LX is the sign of a gentleman or a lady. The ability to play 9LX well is the sign that you're not Magnus Carlsen. LOL!!!!
---
Q2
Consequently, why shouldn't Wesley So have been a wildcard in 2020, 2022 or 2024 candidates as the 2019 WFRCC winner considering
-Fabi was a wildcard in the 2019 WFRCC quarter-finals as the 2018 WCC runner-up, not by FRC virtue
-Hikaru & Magnus were 2019 WFRCC quarter & semi-finals wildcards, by FRC virtue for the 2018 unofficial WFRCC but lol the 2018 game itself was obviously for chess virtue
