Nice write-up for the RadioTimes article! I would put Nepo above Firouzja (the latter doesn't play enough!), and maaybe Naka, but overall a solid ranking. Fun to think about how this list might be different in 5 years.
Junta, Thanks! I actually just went by the live ratings at the time I wrote it (early October) just to keep it simple. The only change I made was I swapped So in for Karjakin at #10 (at the time) because who wants to write about Karjakin?? On my own list, I'd probably have Naka above Ding, and I agree that Nepo would deserve a bit higher too. But yes, its likely to change a lot in the coming years.
Thanks for the shoutout! With my new November goal of having a post each week, hoping to keep the system 1 vs system 2 separation rolling and see if I get good results with it.
