| Apr-22-23 | | fabelhaft: Erigaisi just won a very strong rapid tournament in Astana with an impressive 9.5/11 score (8 wins and 3 draws). Aronian finished second, Grischuk third and Kramnik fourth, followed by Martirosyan, Gelfand, Keymer, Vakhidov, Sindarov etc. Maybe Grischuk’s being in Astana together with Kramnik gives a hint about Nepo’s team… |

Come, don't deny it; the proof is, dare I say, liberally strewn about. |

 | | fredthebear: What tournament would this be? The Satty Zhuldyz Rapid and Blitz Chess Tournament is still playing, is it not? Apparently Chessgames has not covered it. FIDE does not yet list any April games for Erigaisi. The last games of Erigaisi presently shown here are from an internet match which Chessable has failed to cover sufficiently (Chessable was the sponsor who barely did more than announce it and later post a picture of Hikaru Nakamura) given the difficulty of finding the standings. Of course, given the lack of commentary on the games that are provided, few members have expressed interest in anything but the BIG ONE. Chessgames seems far more interested in the games of dead players than contemporary stars. Of course, dead men find it difficult to dispute mischaracterizations and rewrites of history, so one researcher might find it easier to make a mark to some estimate. |

| Apr-22-23 | | fabelhaft: <The Satty Zhuldyz Rapid and Blitz Chess Tournament is still playing, is it not?> At least Chess24 describe it as <The Satty Zhuldyz Rapid is a 12-player round-robin tournament taking place from 20–22 April 2023 in Astana, Kazakhstan> and congratulate Erigaisi on winning, no idea if they will combine the results of rapid and blitz in the end or continue describing it as two separate events. https://twitter.com/chess24com/stat... |

| | fredthebear: Thank you for verifying <fabelhaft>. I regard Erigaisi as a much better player than Niemann, certainly at shorter time controls. |

| Apr-06-24 | | Rdb: Arjun erigaisi is world number 5 in live ratings now. . |
|
| Apr-06-24 | | EvanTheTerrible: The juniors are going to replace the old guard soon. Abdusattorov and Erigaisi at #4 and #5, with Wei Yi (do we still count him as a junior?) at #10, Gukesh at #13, and Praggnanandhaa at #15. |
|
| Apr-07-24 | | EvanTheTerrible: Erigaisi won the Menorca Open on tiebreaks ahead of Alekseenko and Chigaev. I'm happy to see his persistence paying off. That's two Open tournaments with daily double-rounds that he played back to back. After this result, he is leading the FIDE circuit standings (albeit with the most events played) ahead of Abdusattorov, Niemann, Wei Yi, and Tabatabaei. |

|
| Apr-09-24 | | EvanTheTerrible: I was incorrect, he is not leading the FIDE circuit standings. I assumed this tournament would yield enough points, but he is 2nd behind Abdusattorov. |
|
| Apr-27-24 | | Rdb: Sigeman chess tournament started today . Erigaisi won first round game and abdusattarov lost first round game. Now , in the live rating , Arjun erigaisi is ranked 5th , gukesh ranked 6th , abdusattarao ranked 8th. |
|
| Apr-27-24 | | EvanTheTerrible: The future is so bright. So many talented young players. |

| Jun-07-24 | | ultrausurper: Can we get the French Top 16 Club Championship up on chessgames? Lot's of notable participants including Arjun Erigaisi, Hans Niemann, Jorden van Foreest, Pentala Harikrishna, Vasyl Ivanchuk, Amin Tabatabaei, Andrey Esipenko, Nihal Sarin, David Navara etc. Here's a link to the lichess broadcast.
https://lichess.org/broadcast/frenc... Arjun has so far scored 7/8 with a performance of 2923 and is up to 2773.3 and world number 4. Hans is chasing the 5th US Olympiad spot, currently rated 2699.3 after scoring 6/8 so far, right behind Ray Robson rated 2700.0 after winning the Summer Chess Classic. However, he's currently losing to Pentala Harikrishna with black.

| Jun-09-24 | | ultrausurper: Niemann has both his games since that loss to Harikrishna and is now up to 2703, three points ahead of Robson. Aravindh is has also cracked 2700 after scoring 8/11 thus far, and is ahead of Harikrishna and currently eligible for the Indian team. Once again, would love to have the games over here on chessgames.com |

| Jun-28-24 | | ColdSong: Erigaisi's progress are frightening.An old an interesting question is who will succed to MC as the number one.There's definitely a new and promising name on the list. |
|
| Oct-22-24 | | notyetagm: Arjun just won again at the ECC -> <2799.6>. https://www.2700chess.com/games/mik... |

| Oct-23-24 | | Atking: <notyetagm: Arjun just won again at the ECC -> <2799.6>.
https://www.2700chess.com/games/mik... > A potential 2800 is obviously a very strong player but at the ECC, Arjun's victory vs the old man Tom Wedberg, was quite suspicious... |

| Oct-23-24 | | Mayankk: Given how well Erigaisi has done in last 12 months or so, it is surprising that his page has generated little excitement here, so far. That may well change if he rises to world no 2, which seems very likely given his ratings trajectory. Unlike Firouzja who flattered to deceive, largely as he seems to enjoy the adrenaline rush of rapid chess more, Erigaisi plays a classical game almost every day, sometimes even 2 in a day. This relentless passion is exceedingly rare in today's world with everyone seeking instant gratification. I hope this passion for classical is suitably rewarded with a chance at the world championship in the future. Despite all the adrenaline rush from rapid and blitz games, they are available at dime-a-dozen and that cheapens them in a way. Having the world's best players fully dedicated to classical may help bring some of its lost glory. |

He just beat Andreiken's Caro Kann and reached 2802, world third after some other guys. Hard to understand why Andreikin would play 37...Rxb5, leaving both rooks unavailable to protect his naked king on the back rank
