Coincidence?

It's funny how so much can change in a matter of a few months. Mas is playing in rapid tournaments, selection criteria, etc. Someone said that the MCF is changing.

So much is probably true. But before we jump the gun, let us think about what caused this change? Is it all the shouting that is done by chess bloggers?

Or could it be something else? Some people may say it does not matter.

The correlation between the turning point and particular events that have occured is very glaring but left unsaid.

Does anyone else see the correlation between the "revolution" and the fact that Hamid has left the chess scene, with new faces being given a say in the MCF?

Or is this purely coincidence? Or is this because of the voice of a blogger and parents?

Regardless, kudos to Najib for the refreshing change.
