Yah next challenger just beat caruana
Junz Marbz
No need for beating caruana it validates already.. performances are the basis to be a challenger from sinquenfield, london chess classic and overall grand chess tour winner, proves that he is a legit challenger already, not by current elo rating…
Jessan S Aquino
I think he will have bigger chance to challenge magnus if he qualifies and beats caruana in the candidates
