The biggest news at the 2022 SuperUnited Rapid & Blitz Croatia was made off the board, with world champion Magnus Carlsen confirming he would not defend his title next year. (He's not retiring, just not playing the WCh match.) #GrandChessTour
As you might guess, as someone who fought for decades to reform and improve FIDE and the chess world, and who retired still #1 at age 41 in 2005, I have some thoughts.
My first thought was that I wished my mother were still alive to see someone else do what I did, or similar! Walking away from what everyone expects, or demands, you do takes courage. My sympathies are with Magnus.

Courteous of Magnus to create some excitement in St. Louis by losing to Ding in the first round! He came back with two nice wins. Games: grandchesstour.org/2019-grand-che…. #STLRapidBlitz #GrandChessTour
I admit I was pleased to see Carlsen's early h4 in a nice win against Dominguez. With h5 & Qg4 and not developing his pieces, moves only a beginner or a world champion would make!
MVL-Rapport had a Frenchman playing against the French Defense, in the style of Labourdonnais in a city named for a French king! A fun game that's a good example of the excitement of rapid chess. #STLRapidBlitz
