another guy yelling ACTIVITY without offering a solution i wonder why no system is ever proposed!

the reason nobody ever tries to solve this “problem” is they would have to defend a system where some random is ranked higher than magnus because of feelings so they continue yelling. forever and ever

@ChessProblem Semi-retired Magnus refuses to play long classical matches, which is the best way to determine which of two players is the strongest chess player. Meanwhile, chuds proclaim him the best player in the world. How convenient for Magnus.

@ChessProblem I think that's a little bit unfair, this is FIDE's problem, is a real problem, not about feelings like you said, but anyway, the solution could be on tennis rankings like Hans is suggesting, that's offering a idea.

@ChessProblem Solution is not proposed because @FIDE_chess is a bunch of spineless morons. There's a very easy solution to it: rating decay. Progressively reduce the weightage of points from games in previous years.

@ChessProblem I mean… something like: 0.25 elo point drop per month after 3 months inactive > 0.5 drop per month after 6 months > 1.0 drop per month after 12 months But it’s up to FIDE to decide and implement

@ChessProblem Also the tennis system very famously promotes over-activity, to the detriment of the athletes

@ChessProblem Hans needs to sit down and shut up and be grateful a cheater like him is still allowed to play at all.

@ChessProblem Before reading what you responded to, I assumed we were discussing some dubious gambit.

@ChessProblem I think that, even if not directly, he's suggesting something similar to tennis.

@ChessProblem Rating decay had been proposed so many times. It would work just like any other sport.

@ChessProblem 🔥🔥

@ChessProblem The point by @HansMokeNiemann is a good one and there is a solution it's been out there for years. @ChessFutures a chess ranking system that rewards activity and not inactivity. #MagnusCarlsen #ChessGoat #TooStrongTooFast

@ChessProblem People make this too complicated Simple soln - increase activity reqd to 25 games in 12 months (so approx 3 events) If u played less than 25, u get marked as "low activity" & are removed from World Rankings. That is the only impact. The moment u achieve 25, u get added back in

@ChessProblem Magnus is that random now
