    Default Chess predictions for 2020

    Here's my chess-related predictions for 2020:

    1. Magnus Carlsen will retain his world chess champion title in the 2020 title match;
    2. A woman will be in the world's top ten players by the end of 2020;
    3. Canada will have at least one new male grandmaster by the end of 2020;
    4. Canada will have at least one new woman international master (WIM) by the end of 2020;
    5. GM Kevin Spraggett will not do a long-promised expose of the CFC on his blog by the end of 2020.

    Looks like the only Chess related prediction for 2020 that I got right was number 5, with number 1 being Non-Applicable due to the covid-19 pandemic (which also greatly lessened my chances of getting any of predictions 2-4 right).
