With all due respect Hikaru has never played in a world championship chess match 🫣

Well you need to qualify to win, so qualifying can’t be harder since winning requires qualifying. That aside, there’s one winner per year but 8 people get to qualify.

After the place Nakamura ended he should lost 100 points of Elo! His Elo it’s a lie!

some players qualified many times but winning none, so logically winning harder than qualifying

basically theoretically statistically anything with ally
winning the candidates is harder because you need to qualify for it as well
