Jun-23-22 Radjabov vs Rapport, 2022
| |
| Fanques Fair: It´s a shame that Radjabov didn´t spot his real winning chances. I guess it´s too many years only looking for draws. |

Jun-23-22 FIDE Candidates (2022)
| |
| Fanques Fair: The only window of the candidates that is wide and open enough to outsiders is the World Cup, but as it is an eliminatory event and only gives one only place in the tournament , it does not resolve the problem. I think the old Interzonal tournaments are much more fair . |

Jun-23-22 Nepomniachtchi vs Duda, 2022
| |
| Fanques Fair: Just like Firouzja and Rapport, Duda is not strong enough yet to play at the Candidates. It´s obvious that something in the system of classification of FIDE is not right. |

Jun-23-22 Firouzja vs Caruana, 2022
| |
| Fanques Fair: That only goes to show that Firouzja is not as strong as his rating suggests, and insufficiently experienced for a competition at this level. His rating is clearly inflated by oportunitties that he had and others didn´t. Wesley So, MVL, Giri and others would be better ... |

Apr-05-22 So vs Nakamura, 2022
| |
| Fanques Fair: This is a system with drawing tendencies, theoretically. It´s impressive how Wesley So finds a way to win a piece against his compatriot in an endgame. Even more surprising, as it was he who had split and isolated pawns. |

Feb-21-22 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2022
| |
| Fanques Fair: Why didn´t he play like this in the match ? It´s a pity that Nepo apparently collapsed psychologically in the greatest chance in his life . |

Feb-21-22 Van der Sterren vs Korchnoi, 1978
| |
| Fanques Fair: Incredible game. To win like this agains Korchnoi at that time was a great acomplishment, particularly against the French defense. |
