About the website
The aim of this website is to find the quickest path from you to Grandmaster Hikaru by games won.
Inspired by the six degrees of seperation, this website uses blitz and bullet databases of 5 252 558 and 1 735 900 unique users respectively, calculating the chain to 3 degrees. It is stored as a directed minimum spanning tree (for you computer science nerds).
If a user is not in the database, the algorithim will then find which user is the most optimal choice as the next player, until it finds a user in the database.
Thanks for visiting and enjoying the website. It was a lot of effort and I appreciate you taking the time!
