Could Nick, who is on the Fide Qualifications Commission, give his opinion on the matter?
I refer you to the top line, containing

"1st equal = best 3 players after tiebreak".
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a QR code stamped on a human face — forever.

In other news, after a long delay FIDE announced today that the World Senior Individual Championships will be held in Terrasini, Sicily (near Palermo)
I don't know how this has come to pass, but the venue looks really good. I think I shall go.
But it's a World event - you might have to play a Russian. Can you bear to do so?
