You Don't Get to Know Who Won the Titled Arena, Sorry.

I think the reason some GMs might want to remain anonymous is not to reveal their preparations. I'd suspect that the absolutely top players consider Lichess Titled Arena to be sort of a "playground" to perhaps try some new ideas, check if they'd enjoy playing a particular opening etc. Obviously, they'll not reveal the deepest secrets of their preparation for some upcoming prestigious real life tournament anyway, but just the fact they play something slightly different than they usually do could be a valuable information for their opponents.

So I'd let them remain anonymous, if that's what they wish to do. Forcing them to reveal their identity could put some people off and we wouldn't get to see some very interesting matches. The pressure would be much higher, they wouldn't want to "embarrass themselves" trying some crazy ideas etc.

My guess is that (@) Grey_Parrot is Paul Morphy allied with Yoda from Star Wars, (@) FeegLood is Alekhine cloned but he lives in Wales and (@)neslraCsungaM77 is a cunning 6 y.o who is allied with Mace Windu.

Lots of Galaxy-crossers!

Magnus is messing up with LICHESS lol

If one of those accounts belongs to Hikaru, he would have to stay anonymous due to his contract with chess.com.

I mean I think we should know who is playing

c'mon guys. FeegLood is GM Xiong

I haven't read all the comments. I reckon statistical analysis could identify everyone but who cares. I'm guessing some have a contract with chesscom who are ridiculously jealous of other chess sites and won't ever acknowledge other chess sites exist and won't let anyone they sponsor acknowledge other chess sites exist.

Why would a GM who is paid by chesscom want to play on lichess? a question chesscom should ask themselves.

I'm happy to see lichess are ok with wild guesses and speculation. I heard grey_parrot wasn't wearing any pants during the tournament.

chess.com is trash
