Welcome, and a question
Hi! Thanks for your useful edit at FIDE Grand Prix 2022. I see it was your first one – welcome!

I was wondering whether there's a reason you put a dash instead of Hikaru's FIDE rank? He didn't qualify by FIDE rank, but others didn't, either – I think it should be included like everyone else's? Joriki (talk) 13:58, 30 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi! Thank you! The reason I used a dash instead of his rank is that he doesn't have an active fide rating thus an active fide world rank. If a player doesn't play a single game in a time control during 12 months fide will consider him a passive player and doesn't include him in the rating lists. Check this. You won't find Nakamura there. However on his fide profile you can see that he has a world rank (21), but that is across all players, including long retired players like Kasparov as well. :) What I used was the "Active world rank" of the players and Nakamura doesn't have one right now. I didn't see a better solution. If I would go with the World rank among all players then the rankings would look strange (Ding would have 4 as his rank and people wouldn't understand who is ahead of him besides Carlsen and Firouzja). I hope I explained this well. Please tell me if you have a better solution to the problem. Thanks. :) Kiszol9 (talk) 20:15, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the detailed explanation! You're absolutely right; I wasn't aware that he dropped out of the FIDE ratings due to inactivity. I can't think of a better solution than the one you chose. Joriki (talk) 19:22, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
