Well we still don’t even have a winner of this year’s and there are still 3 spots in the 2022 candidates tournament. So keeping all of that in mind we still don’t know what 2 people will be playing so making a prediction this far in advance won’t mean much

Shirov, he will be 50 years old and will take revenge on Kasparov by beating Magnus grin.png

Karjakin, Firouzja, and Caruana are the favorites

Don’t you think this all takes a toll on Magnus’s mind? Like there are bad benefits? I mean, other chess players have gone insane and some others close to getting locked up in asylums.

'Gunna' - a new word for my personal dictionary.

I think Fischer will rise from the grave and take his title back, exactly 50 years later (1972 - 2022).

From wiki:

On 8 December 2021, FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich announced that the Candidates was planned to be held in the (northern) summer of 2022 with the World Championship to follow in early 2023

Very unlikely, sad that Liren is getting worse over the years.

Also don't think FIDE will allow a Chinese challenger. Look how Ding Liren and some others were treated during the Candidates cycle, and it was all swept under the rug with the guise of Covid politics.

I'm pretty sure I personally am the goat of Cheese. As far as Chess goes, my money is on Carlsen.

Carlsen is the GOAT of chess.

daily headlines in the following days:

IT SEEMS LIKE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION BOBBY FISCHER HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE AND SELF-DESTRUCTED MAGNUS CARLSEN AT THE 2022 CANDIDATES TOURNAMENT. HE IS NOW THE FIRST CHAMPION THAT WAS A FORMER DEAD WORLD CHAMPION. POGGERS
