@Former_Player I agree this is an odd case, perhaps a mistake in the announcement blog itself? Because there is even regulation to prevent such cases, yet inviting them as wildcard would be very strange:

>FIDE World Fischer Random, they will not be allowed to participate further in our
>Qualifiers."

(Section 11 - Duplicate Entries)

participated but did not make it to the final part

Is that the same as Chess960? If so, why are there 2 names to the same variant? Could we settle for one, or even find a new, more marketable name.
