    It is strange that no one ever mentions Vincent Keymer. He turned 19 just a few days ago, #14 in the world, trailing Pragg just by 2.4 Elo points and ranking before Vidit, Erigaisi, Abdussatorov and Gukesh. Plus he has beaten Carlsen lately and just failed to beat and eliminate him in the second game because he did not convert a winning position. Guess he has to be in the top five before people can't ignore him anymore.

    Talent has always been there in india it's always about the opportunity. As india's economy grows it has substance for other things and supporting sports is one of them. You will notice that not many companies sponser chess but huge indian corporation are keen in spending a lot of money on the promotion of chess. After Vishy, a whole generation full of talents went on steroids like a big bang and the country just exploded with potential.
    In my heart, Vishy maight not be the best chess player but he's the greatest. I mean, which WCC could inspire an entire country of 1.4B and nurture a wave of talents? From zero GM's to now becoming a powerhouse. What an inspiration.

    Uhh.. Micha didn't disappear. You can check his fide and he clearly played in tournaments during 2023. There are game records from january, february, may and august. It is true that there were no fide games played between april 2020 and January 2023 but whatever source you used - please stop using it or at least double check the "facts". If some site claimed that he was gone then you used outdated information which isn't good look either.

    I don't want to be good at chess, I started playing at 8, then stopped playing for 6 years and started playing again because chess was gaining popularity, however I reached 2300+ elo at 17, that's a nice achievement for me, I quit now because I'm not one of those people who would study chess 8-10 hours to be an extremely good player....
    Being a good chess player only tells you're good at chess

      @@shrikrishnasingh1106 thanks for understanding the situation, that's ridiculously good for a player who spend less time on it but reached 1700, once I start to lose I try to win and then get a losing streak and it makes the day bad, it's like gambling and losing a lot of money
      I quit for several reasons as well

    I met and took lessons for a short while, a very long time ago, with Edmar Mednis when he was at the Marshall Chess Club in Greenwich Village. I remember him telling me that it was very difficult to make a living at just chess, even as a grandmaster. I was very surprised at the time. I can only imagine it being so much harder these days. It seems that in most areas of human accomplishment like chess:: musical instruments, golf, fencing...etc... there is little place for the talented amature renaissance person. You need to have a single minded focus and desire almost from the womb.
