Chess.com Global Championship

Earlier this year I wrote a post titled It's Not an April Fool's Joke (April 2022). It was about two events that were announced around the same time:-

• 'The $1,000,000 Chess.com World Championship'
• 'The Lichess World Championship'

I asked and answered,

Are these real World Chess Championships? In my opinion, no, they aren't, but I'm just one voice in the court of public opinion that decides such matters. I think they're more like site championships. I'll come back to the subject if public opinion eventually disagrees with me.

The Chess.com event quickly changed its name:-

• 2022-04-21 ... 2022-11-07 Chess.com Global Championship 2022: All The Information

The results are scattered across many Chess.com pages:-

• 2022-05-02 ... 2022-10-17 [CGC] Results (chess.com) • Qualifier Results; Play-in Results; All the players who qualified
  
  
• Results & Standings - [CGC] Knockout 2022 (ditto; see 'Results' tab) • Round 1 to 3; Quarterfinals; Semifinals; Finals
  
  
• 2022-10-16 ... 2022-11-08 [CGC] Finals 2022 (ditto)

That 'All The Information' page informed,

GM Wesley So won the inaugural Chess.com Global Championship in November 2022. This event was the first Chess.com championship with a cycle open to all of our verified players. Players competed in official Chess.com verified events for their share of the $1,000,000 prize fund and the Chess.com Global Champion title.

As for the Lichess version, Announcing the Lichess World Championship (lichess.org/forum), it looks like it was intended as a joke. Lichess can sometimes become very strange.
