Chess should stop giving wildcards, but instead have a "Wildcard-game".
Its a huge success in baseball with 2 teams having a single match to decide who enters the actual playoff. Adds extra excitement to kick off the event, and makes the wildcard less political. @FIDE_chess

How powerful is the Wildcard?
A and B is from the organizing country, while C is from another.
If A qualifies, B gets the wildcard.
If B qualifies, A gets the wildcard.
If C qualifies, A or B gets the wildcard.
As chances: 83 %
Bs chances: 83 %
Cs chances: 33 % @FIDE_chess

I am actually praising you for acting rationally !

The best strategy is to withdraw from The Grand FIDE Suisse, and in the Grand Prix to make 2 solid draws and lose the rapids as quickly as possible.

Rules should never force players to behave like that, but as of now they do. https://t.co/dtZiWIfNiF

Dutch composer Ghiselin Danckerts (1510-1567) was a bit of a prankster - he printed his ‘Ave maris stella’ in the form of a chessboard, with one word in each square! pic.twitter.com/fVJGa4J0aO
