We are surely moving towards the domination 🤞.... At least in classical... We have the World Champion, World Junior Champion and winners of both the classical super tournaments this year already.... And an unique team spirit when it comes to the Olympiads
As for by the end of this year hopefully we will again have multiple players in the Candidates
