2025 FCGST, Paris [Not!]

By all the guidelines of common sense, the title of this post should be as above, excluding the '[Not!]' portion. This would be the logical continuation of the two previous posts:-

• 2025-02-22: 2025 FCGST, Weissenhaus, and
• 2025-03-22: 2025 FCGST, Paris News

The Wikipedia coverage of the 2025 FCGST ['Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour'] is so comprehensive that I have little to add. Since my Weissenhaus post in February, the Wikipedians have split the main page into separate pages covering the tour itself...

• Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour (wikipedia.org)

...and the two legs of the tour played to date:-

• Weissenhaus Freestyle Chess Grand Slam (wikipedia.org; 2025-02)
• Paris Freestyle Chess Grand Slam (ditto; 2025-04)

I considered closing this blog, but since I've already tried to do that twice -- last seen in Sayonara? (December 2023) -- I'll just declare a pause. If the pause becomes permanent, I'll record the fact in another post. Bye for now!
