Carlsen on starting the World Rapid Ch. with 4,5/5: "My play is so-so, but my score is just great. For some reason I always have problems in the beginning no matter how well I feel, but I am really happy with my score."
Восьмилетний россиянин Роман Шогджиевпобедил Жахонгира Вахидова из Узбекистана в первом раунде чемпионата мира по быстрым шахматам, который проходит в Самарканде.
Партия завершилась на 46-м ходу, Шогджиев играл черными фигурами.
28-летний Вахидов является чемпионом Всемирной шахматной олимпиады 2022 года.
Шогджиев в октябре выиграл чемпионат мира по шахматам среди мальчиков до восьми лет.
Во втором туре Шогджиев белыми фигурами сыграл вничью с 54-летним соотечественником Алексеем Дреевым.
Dear @FIDE_chessand organisers of the Championship! As known, all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. Is it fair to provide @MagnusCarlsen a personal lounge where he can rest and prepare to the game using a laptop, while nobody else has such an opportunity?
У Карлсена всегда была отдельная комната для отдыха, почему надо вспоминать об этом по ходу турнира, интересно?
Я.Огор написал про это еще в самом начале, во время 1 тура
At the World Rapid and Blitz Carlsen usually has a private room at the playing hall where he can hide from autograph hunters between the rounds. The arbiters are responsible to protect him, but often they pester him for photos and autographs as well. I would believe it is better in Uzbekistan.
The criticism isn't new. Carlsen has had his own lounge in every World Rapid & Blitz since '16. FIDE responded last year that he is more in the spotlight than other players, provides more interviews (after every round) so he has one "for his own security and privacy".

Because we love drama 😃 and I also believe all the players should have equal playing conditions. The personal lounge is not the issue here but the easy access to a computer in between the games is one serious inequity.
To make it clear, none of the participants of the RB championship have been granted with special conditions and even if in between rounds any of the players has been provided with an access to external premises as per the invitation of FIDE officials, full fair play control has been provided. Furthermore, everyone is allowed to use their gadgets in between the rounds according to the rules.

Let it be known that Nepo and Fabi are a combined 0-3 in Classical World Championships and have both lost to me. You may have access to the champions lounge when you become one.
