Please tell me it's a joke.
Hello! Let me introduce The Open World Chess Championship! After starting a game, copy-paste this into the in-game chat:
> I declare this game a World Chess Championship. The winner will be crowned World Chess Champion. Rules: bit.ly/3F4rv4F
There's a limit of 140 characters. Find out more on my blog: lichess.org/@/OutOfMemoryError/blog/the-open-world-chess-championship/Rkb2yp0v

I would like to make sure....
This is all a joke right? I am one of those gullible people whom April's Fools Day is made for. I believe everything that I read (except the earth is flat). I actually believed that FIDE announced that thing, until I clicked on the link. Then I read through the entire article trying to find FIDE's announcement. A part of me was wondering why lichess would link a chess.com article for FIDE's announcement, while also wondering why FIDE would allow such nonsense considering that they went through such a hassle two decades ago.
To make sure...

Fantastic post picking fun at chess.com for all of their shady shenanigans lately!
