@EmilSutovsky @grok what is this about?

I could not comment on it before, but now when Jan and Hikaru confirmed publicly - of course, he was invited - and of course we remember he is the reigning 2022 FIDE Fischer Chess World Champion.

@drmehmetismail @anishgiri @DGukesh I found another metric: points scored

🧵How did @DGukesh won the Candidates, if he did not play the most 'accurate' chess according to Stockfish?🤔Here's a brief analysis of the event. According to engine accuracy scores (GPL), Gukesh played as good as Alireza but worse than both Nepo and Hikaru. But at the very top level, the most accurate player does not always win a tournament. Case in point: Wesley was the most accurate player in the #NorwayChess2023 but Hikaru won. The risks Gukesh took, his deviations from the engine moves, were more "optimal." This is captured by his median - not average - game intelligence (GI) score, which is the pretty much only metric (I could find) that distinguished him from the others. Here's the top GI scores: Gukesh: 163.1 Hikaru: 162.5 Nepo: 162.2 Caruana: 161.9 Pragg: 160.3 Firouzja: 155.6 Vidit: 158.2 Abasov: 145.7 Average human: 100 (with standard deviation of 15) @NorwayChess #GameTheoryCorner #FIDECandidates

@MurrMcK @Alexphysics13 @jackwhitlock 😂😂😂😂😂

@Alexphysics13 @jackwhitlock I’ve decided “launches in a month” is a dumb metric and what I care about is when the time between a launch and the launch 10 launches later drops below 2 629 796.33 seconds. Let me know when that happens :)

And with that, SpaceX has now launched 10 times in September, breaking their record for most launches in a calendar month. Lots and lots more launches coming up 🚀
