FIDE, Freestyle Chess, and the Future of the Game
Whichever chess organization is the most committed to reducing its carbon footprint and delivering equitable outcomes to all participants is the one I would support.
Equitable outcomes?? So just GIVE everybody the same # of points. Mmmkay, got it.
That's right. They can take some points away from the people who are winning unconscionable amounts of them and use them to provide a respectable rating to those who are struggling just to get by.

you are too. How do I have the misfortune of seeing an anti-wokeist and an idealist in one forum?

good catch
Well, I think there should be a universal basic rating, and a limit on how many points you can earn beyond that. Who really needs to have a rating over 1800? It's just greed that would motivate somebody to hoard rating beyond that point.
I hope you're joking, but I'm just gonna unfollow this forum before you say something even more dumb than that.
Focus that energy on actual politics, cus you might be a half-decent leftist if you swapped rating for income
I actually thought about making a thread questioning whether chess was a force for good in the world. It seems like it only exists still today, in its commercial aspect, to further the economic interests of a class of people who already have sufficient leisure to devote their lives to mastering a game.
I can't say FIDE is well run, simply because I don't know. However it appears to me that this new organisation is more about money and power than improving on the FIDE model. As such it appears to be a vanity project and whatever FIDE's flaws that the new organisation is no great shakes as a replacement.
