Given Hans Niemann just accepted his invite to Prague Masters, at what rating and rank in America would he have to achieve to finally be invited to the American Cup?

Chess Question

Hans in currently 5th in the live ratings in America with LDP to drop out due to inactivity in April. If he were top 3 would they finally invite him, what about the highest rated American? Or at this point is it just a foregone conclusion and he is banned for the foreseeable future regardless of rating/rank.

Is Chess.com the laggiest and slowest website in the history of the world wide web or am I doing something wrong with the settings?

Miscellaneous

I literally can't even play on the chess.com website, it feels like my pieces are stuck in the mud, the lag takes roughly 2-3 seconds per move so playing blitz is out of the question. For the record, my download speed is 150 mbps and never had issues with any other site outside of chess.com. Playing on lichess is exceptional which is fine, but I want to partake in some tournaments and other things on chess.com. Do I have a setting wrong or something? Is this just lag compensation? Is anybody else experiencing this? It's legitimately unplayable in it's current state and I'm wondering if it's just this bad or something needs to be done on my end. Thanks much!!!

Is anyone bullish over the next few months?

Discussion

I've seen countless DD's from autists who are touting the ultimate demise of the market, but almost nothing to solidify the trends we are currently seeing. Does anybody have any thought behind why they are buying back in now, and if they plan to hold long or it's just to take advantage of the current Brrrrrrrrr? Just trying to understand where to lose the last 30% of my net worth is all.

GTO vs. Exploitative - One Drop

Just wanted to get a little discussion/perspective on the current chip counts within the One Drop after Day 1. It looks like all the GTO guys (Schindler, Holz, Chidwick, etc) are all either out or dead last in chips while the Exploitative players or your traditional old school guys like Ivey, Dnegs, Seidel are all at the top. I know this is just one tourney, but just curious what people think about the legitimacy with the two styles and how they perform against one another in today's game.
