FIDE Criticizes Nakamura's Qualification Strategy

Chess grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura is using a strategy to qualify for the Candidates Tournament.

This involves playing in tournaments with less experienced players to increase his rating, a method which FIDE, the chess governing body, views as taking advantage of a loophole.

FIDE admits they should have prevented this.

Magnus Carlsen, a top chess player, sees the strategy as 'shameless' but potentially effective.

The debate centers on whether the method is ethical and if the rules need adjustments to be fairer to all players.
