you can become better at chess with mistakes and practise!
The World Cup will be different than usual because Magnus is not taking part. Nevertheless, in my opinion, it will be an exciting World Cup that can go into a tie-break.
This match will be very hard for both,because they have the same power of play.I think they have chances to become in the world Chess Champion. Good lucky for them.

To Ding...... You ́d better win the FIDE World Championschip
"few doubt that the Kremlin would welcome a Nepomniachtchi victory, and may even seek to use it for propaganda purposes".
I wonder how. The author should be ashamed to write such nonsense.

Oh, be sure, russian government will use it gladly. Something like: "Look, the whole world is against us, but the russian is a champion. That's because of course the greatness of motherrussia and its greatest leader putin". That's literally how it will be presented in case he wins. No word about opposition to the war or whatever. After all, Nepo is russian, playing under russian flag, sponsored by russian money and sport is very much not "out of politics", especially in russia.

Even when introducing a WCC, the best LiChess could produce is a piece in the style of Wikipedia "character assassination" pages, where a supposedly technical introduction on the level of tabloid gossip, quickly leaves the scene to make room for "The Controversies"...
The Controversies!
Don't we love them? How could we even express ourselves without such a powerful and clearly indispensable formula...
And of course, "The Controversies" culminate in opposing the unhealthy and implicitly unfair result (whatever it may be! That is the true prodigy of "free and independent thinking") to the previous "zenith of popularity [of chess] in the West".
Those adversarial autocracies are stealing our game! For propaganda purposes! (ask Henry Kissinger about this outrageous idea...)
The anonymous authors are obviously moving fast along the "cursus honorum", towards the best circles of western journalism, where even a weak chess understanding would not be an issue anymore...

has the prize pool been made public yet???
Interesting article. Personally I hope for a Ding victory. Very unfair to compare China to Russia - China has not invaded anyone or threatening nuclear war; only the mad fascist in the Kremlin is threatening that.
