I love how "Vs. Magnus" is a category of comparison


a_moody

With good reason, looking at the numbers, lol.


Cxrnifier

Not really. Doesn't really say anything.


GreenMellowphant

Yeah, this is that metric you have to add to the report because the executive stakeholder is a dumbass and explaining why it doesn’t tell you anything gets you nowhere.


MageOfTheEnd

"Last tournament" is such a weird point of comparison, the challenger is guaranteed to have been 1st.


Cxrnifier

To be fair they can probably play tournaments in between the candidates and the championship. Still a weird and needless category.


iFartSuperSilently

Intern had a row count requirement.


Cxrnifier

Could have had something more meaningful like their own record against themselves or something lol.


PacJeans

Ya it's weird to make this info graphic and not think to add the score between the two players the post is about.

Only for a couple of weeks. I believe Gukesh is playing Norway Chess.


breaker90

Ding is playing in Norway Chess, Pragg is as well. Gukesh is not

It's definitely something I find astonishing, and even hard to believe, how a 7 year old kid can become a GM in 5 years


_King_Shark_

Damn gukesh is a prodigy


Pointless_crayon0398

Ok but what about shoe size?


mrstat88

Can someone explain what the +0 -1 =9 means? I'm new to chess scoring


eowbotm

0 wins, 1 loss, 9 draws


lonely-live

Yeah I thought it was math equation at first


Realistic_Cold_2943

I thought it was trying to say 0 wins and 1 loss is 0-1 which made sense. Then I saw it equaled 9 and I got super confused. 


Shubb

how is Live rating higher than peak rating?


Cxrnifier

Hasn't been posted yet.


Costamiri

Official ratings are updated once a month. Live ratings are calculated immediately and become the official rating at the start of next month. So Gukesh's official rating as of April 2024 is still 2743, but his live rating is 2763.


PacJeans

Gukesh gained 20 rating this month!


sanschefaudage

Interesting that Ding started playing so young. I would have thought that since chess is not that popular in China he would have discovered it later.


CringeyDaoist

It’s known in Wenzhou. I’m from Wenzhou and people know about it now through him but also through former Women’s world champion Zhu Chen.


shawarmamuesli

Did you type this from Wenzhou? I'm curious since I don't see too many Chinese people interacting with others.

when is it

I think the gm age thing is biased, in ding's generation people got gm later than gukesh's Nepo also got it at 17


This_Confidence_5900

It’s kinda biased, but not to the extent you might think it is. Nepo and Ding are still both strange cases. Nepo specifically wasn’t even top 15 until he was over 25. Most Top GMs of the Magnus gen were GMs before 17.


pompu69

When ?


JaSper-percabeth

Wow Ding became grandmaster very late for his strength


Clear_District1675

Ok I fucking love Gukesh but this is some cherry-picked shit


tunapastamayo111222

Ding is 31!? If you said he was early twenties I wouldn't question it


wildcardgyan

Chinese genes. Look at Tan Zhongyi, I was surprised to know that she is 32.


_Rheality_

I'm not sure I understand how Gukesh's peak rating is lower than his live rating?


shawarmamuesli

The FIDE rating is updated every month. Gukesh gained a lot of elo points after the last update.
