Moving from Bilderberg Group theory to chess ratings theories, I wonder sometimes if SGM chess isn't similar to NFL Football and Pro Wrestling (or even boxing back in the day) sometimes. At least Carlsen is keeping the World Chess Championship relevant to all of the 2700 players. Wasn't Top the only other 2800 player until losing 2 of 3 at the London Chess Classic? Right now Kramnik is #2 at 2796.
If Magnus was hitting 3000 instead of dropping to 2832 candidates might need to ask for a time advantage on Carlsen like they should have when playing blitz against Stockfish or other programs with so many instant history pgns in R.A.M. that don't require a second of thought to choose from.
One might apply monetary policy theory as well, with Wei Yi and the value of the Juan rising while deflation is occuring to economies of Europe. The United States chess currency is rising in value, except Janet Yeltsin might increase the prime lending rate, and the budget for U.S. military deployment in Europe is set to increase to counter 'Russian agression' in the Ukraine.
Some have nostalgia for the Anand years before the arrival of a bear inducted need for a bull market on that.
Then of course, the FIDE President was recently put on a U.S. terrorist supporter watch list or something for alleged investments in Syria, and the U.S. said Russian aircraft bombed a Syrian army base.
I think Carlsen will win a split decision against candidate X in the Nov. 2017 match, and his rating will be 2870 then.
