Hikaru Nakamura ‘triggers’ rating system change: How will it affect top GM’s like D Gukesh?

FIDE is implementing a major rating system change from October 1, removing the 400-point rule for players rated 2650 and above. This reform means top grandmasters will gain minimal points against significantly lower-rated opponents, but face substantial penalties for draws or losses, aiming to curb “rating farming” and encourage competition among peers.
