Anish on Nepo's Blunder - "What? Oh My God, Is He Nuts? What's Going On?" 

lmaoo

Anish is himself the house of pain

Yeah, there´s good pay for exposing and straining yourself, though. Hey at least is not box or ufc.

Yeah it is a pain but i think if he miss the press-conference it will be more painful in the future :D

Yes it speeks words! It must be like stumble on a the ball on a penaltykick in soccer. Its not only missing the gool it is realy bad. Go Nepo your a great player.

magnus was as shocked as anyone by this blunder

He actually looks disgusted. 😂😂 He's like wtf that can't be right. He seems confused like there must be something on the board he is missing

WC Carlsen

After nepo had his first loss, it feels like he just gave up, no way he isnt prepared enough. They had 4 perfect games or so before, and now he is blundering a whole bishop ? No way

@@gutaishot2363 like magnus said in the post game interviews before the press conference, it's just the pressure. He's used to this rodeo, Ian isn't, and he cracked. It's a shame though.

Rather believe it

Exactly, I think he is wondering what he could possibly be missing.

Can't find it? No way. He is probably rechecking if there are any long term threats after he moves to c6.

@@72seventytwo You clearly missed what he said

@@72seventytwo Read the first comment again. Slowly.

Not like this bro.

michael chandler refrence

what we do here echoes an eternity lmao

@@shivam9934 no. Gladiator reference

Chess players: "Now plays the Botez gambit!"

why doesn't he just resign it all?

Dont worry Ian is a semi-pro dota gamer.

@ 800 grands at stake !

I don t feel bad for Nepo at all TBH. If you are in a WCC match you have to be at your best. There is no other option. He is russian, he has so much support. There are no excuses for not performing at this level.

Don't feel bad for either of them. They're both jerks but Nepo is worse. And they're both making good money on this.

dude its a classical game of 2 hours with so much increment and not a blitz or bullet match so no need to feel bad he will come back stronger

@@KaranS2022 there's no increment

@@goatalien8069 There is increment bro wtf

@@KaranS2022 come back where? It’s 6-3 already. Do you think he is going to win 3 matches in the next 5? Is that even possible again Carlsen? This is the easiest world championship win for Carlsen

@@KaranS2022 unfortunately nepo is not strong enough to be able to do it. also nepo clearly has a huge problem using his time and frequently just blitzes out moves furthermore this attitude of moving too fast has proved to clearly be not very intelligent

Jesus the dude isn’t dead yet. Have some faith in him

@@markn.7914 In the WCC, it's most likely the match is already over even after someone is 2 games ahead

@@defectivesickle5643 yeah, I know, but the way this guy says it looks like he’s giving him prayers.

@@markn.7914 and thats supposed to be bad?

@@markn.7914 After today's draw we can safely conclude that Ian is toasted.

Yup, what’s sad is that Nepo was playing so well, even in game 6. Like we had some of the best games in world championship history in game 1-6, but as you were saying, i think his loss in game 6 got to him.

He gets severely affected psychologally, it's obvious. After the first loss, it just went domino. Feels bad, but you will never reach the very top if your emotions control you like that. Really just how it works. Either way, Ian is probably doing completely well, he is at a level few can reach.

@@ksenijakorobeinikova Severely affected? "You will never reach the top". Chill out, this happens is every sports or competition, and nobody has reached "the very top" in ten years because this Magnus boy is arguably the best of ALL TIMES. The second half of your comment is more accurate.

could it be that Ian is not physically prepared enough?

@@jaconova Well, compared to Magnus' other challengers, he does get very affected, so I don't know why you had to take the time to reply to my comment? Yes, Magnus is obviously the best player as of now, but my point was really not that, rather that Ian is nowhere close to performing as good in a world championship as other players on his level, so there has to be some kind of problem there. We all seen it happen now. And when did accuracy of comments matter? You can calculate accuracy in chess, but not in someone's opinion, that's just doing too much

it already was 🤦‍♂️

Yes but because Nepo's performance is the worst and very disappointing.

Karjakin and Fabi's performance were the best. Karjakin made Magnus look vulnerable

@@josephsong8911 I always think how insane that match was. Magnus was down, almost no games left to equalise, a literal do or die part of the match and he manages to find a win.

@@ligidobastian9245 yea sadly FIDE suck ass. karjakin foresee the magnitude of covid and force FIDE to hold the candidates. they reject and kick him off from the tournament only to follow karjakin advice. but sadly he couldnt join the candidates again. magnus also being a d*ck and said karjakin was overreacting. but then end up karjakin was right all along

It must be terrifying, having to recheck that you didn't actually blunder something yourself.

Historic collapse after game 6

This game won't be what he remembers, it will be game 6 as That Canadian pointed out. This blunder came from the pressure of being 2 games down and trying to force a win out of nothing. We can all point fingers, including the commentators, but none of them or us know what it's like to be in Nepo's place and under that kind of pressure.

Pressure must have really kicked in although i believe guys like caruana, anish, radjabov would perform better than Nepo.

@@kilzoldyck5114 I agree, maybe it's the fatigue from the 7 earlier games and nepo's not mentally recovered from game 6, I mean I'm sure that maybe other guys from the candidates just shrug it off and say "there's still next game" if they're facing the same situation

i dont think he's mentally drained or anything, i think its just being 2 games down after 8 games, means you hace to win your games as white, because you wont get many chances as black to win a game. so he's trying to force wins out of draws cuz he cant afford to draw anymore

It is not colossal because he is trying to beat Magnus Carlssen. He is not playing against Carlos Correa or Stef Curry at chess. LOL 😚😚😚

@@hart63 this is embarrassing for Ian even if he was facing a 1800, a blunder that easy with that much time

It's a bit embarrassing but not so much. Ian needed a win at this point, so he was pressing.

@@hart63 the move was definitely embarrassing, they teach these tactics to intermediates and Ian had 50 minutes on the clock and lost the game in one move A risk is not hanging a bishop

@@Ben-ff6hc I agree with you completely. It’s ok to press for a win but immediately losing a piece without even a deep line is unacceptable. He’s a great player but this will be the blunder of his life

Meanwhile Hikaru when Magnus blunders: 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Giri had reason to be surprized. Nepo the number 4 in the world dommage the russian chess school 😅

If you want draws it'd be fun.

Next time

If giri was playing he would have tried to draw every game don't think he will ever play championship match as he prefers draws all the time But Ian has made this match one sided after 8 games and now it's over

Yep, keep coping that Nepo lost miserably and horribly. A disgrace to SuperGM, go on, pity him with "I feel sorry for him" "Poor Nepo" LMAO

At this point I just want magnus to completly crush ian, maybe get another win even that would be so sweet😂 FOR THE MEMES

I hope he gets 2 wins.

What memes? Ian prepared his life for this, and he earned our respect and admiration. Please, use theory of mind instead of that thought. I.e., He is a great competitor and very humble.

The only people that did not expect this to happen are the ones that believed the narratives of the promoters trying to sell the match for viewership. This type of performance has been the hallmark of Ian's career, even when the stakes are significantly lower. Ian might be one of the most naturally gifted players today, but he is emotionally unstable and cannot control himself at the board, just like Vassily Ivanchuk before him. Giri, So, MVL, Caruana, Liren, Mamedyarov, ect.... all of them would be more of a challenge for Magnus across the span of 14 games. I'm not a hater, that is just reality. When Ian is in control of himself he is one of the most creative chess players around.

@@StationaryEarth i agre and it's sad. He still has time to get over his demons he just needs the right people around him. And none of those you mentioned will beat Magnus.

He didn't see it instantly though

@@Tideman11 It was faster than it appears from this stream. He'd been looking at something else entirely. It does only take him a couple seconds to spot it once he actually looks up and considers what Polgar had been suggesting. Karjakin got there even faster when Svidler suggested it on their stream, basically responding instantly that the bishop would be trapped. There was barely a pause between Svidler saying it and Karjakin's refutation.

@@overgme What I don't understand is how players like Svidler and Polgar could even suggest it.

@@adityaprasad465 both have been inactive for quite some time

😂

Just wrote my physics exam. Can relate so hard. I am probably failing.

@Unofficial west chanakya I find maths much tougher than physics.

@Unofficial west chanakya I am okay with maths my maths is good but not as great as physics,physics required basic calculas but many times very hard integrals came in my way in maths , Arithmetic calculation is not even maths ,I am very good with numbers.

Well he's one of the best player of our era and you are you

well brother.. but you don't do that in a world championship match..

He is a disgrace to SuperGM unlike you. He must feel miserable. Lol

Right. He maybe felt happy

You want to be funny so bad 🤪🤪🤪

Botez Gambit on WCC would be funny lol

Lmao

Carlsen will play the bongcloud tomorrow and win.

@@edntz Carlsen could play the Bongcloud tomorrow and win against this kind of play.

If that happened then this would be the most embarrassing performance of all time in a world championship match. The pawn blunder is alright, it happens, the bishop blunder was bad but if you blunder a queen in a world championship then you need to retire😂

I'm a noob, what is the problem with this move?

@@qbb01 enemy pawn advances to c6 which is then guarded by the black bishop. Now, the white bishop can't escape anymore if a rook attacks it.

its pretty sad for nepo indeed. Even I, as a 1200, have seen that pretty much instantly.

In all honesty, this match was won by Magnus (and NOT lost by Nepo) in game 6. That was probably the greatest end game grind in chess history and also the longest match in WCC history. Nepo did his best not to look shattered by that loss, but the mental fortitude required to recover from that in such a short time is somewhat beyond human.

@@Leo-rh6rq if you have 1200 it means you fall for dumber shit than that, like mate in 1 threats. Calm down kid.

Yeah Anish kept saying he saw c6 instantly, and c5 was a terrible move, but tbh Judit didn't see it instantly though

@@Omnimalevolent1 thats a cringe assessment of polgars commentary but go off

@@Omnimalevolent1 You seem to be missing one crucial point: the commentators are supposed to explain what's going on to the viewer, even those who are not 2000 rated players. Judit has done a great job making Anish explain why the move is so terrible, in a way that lets everyone understand it.

If Anish hadn't said anything Judit would still think C5 was a good idea

@@chopinunbound Judit Polgar was ranked in the top 10 of ALL chess players for quite a while, I'm sure she would've seen it as well quickly. misogyny isn't funny buddy

For those who haven't been watching them, or who are not generally familiar with Polgar, she's got a hilariously blunt style about the way she challenges her co-commentators' suggestions. Anish is playfully giving some of it back here. She's a brilliant player, and took it all in good fun.

@@gussanderson4579 Quickly? She sat looking at it for 3 minutes until Anish looked at it, and then even after Anish told her it trapped the bishop she couldn't see it, "maybe I'm playing to be trapping my own bishop in dreaming of having the a2 pawn". And, what makes you think Anish wouldn’t have been as equally as incredulous if his fellow commentator was male? No, misogyny isn't funny. However, being a simp is hilarious.

@@overgme They are a great pair of commentators. I enjoy watching them.

Yeah, very harsh. But that´s expected between chess players.

Lmao!!!!

A comment like would make nepo cry and lose the rest of the games.

'It seems too good to be true, I must be missing something'

instead of realising themselves they were both made aware by their co hosts actually that its a no-good move. so yeah some kind of blindness for the trap..but anyway, its still different throwing moves out from commentary then actually making the move over the board. neither of them wouldve done that. (probably)

Against any IM also.

Against any 1300 lol

I mean, everyone knows the chances of Magnus losing now are minimal if not non existent, he's simply a stronger player right now. And to be honest, as Magnus himself said, Ding Liren and Fabiano Caruana are tougher opponents than Nepo, hence why they're both ahead of Nepo and why the WCC 2018 was so close with Fabi, he's simply better. Let's see how Alireza does tho, this kid has everything to be a tough challenge.

He was pretty on form for the first 6 games tbh. They played some amazing chess. That 140-move defeat really wore him down.

@@Lightn0x *First 5. 6th was the 140 move game.

@@enderduck4253 Yes. And he played very well that game. He ended up losing, but he still played amazing chess. Created solid chances, didn't make any major mistakes. But Magnus is Magnus.

@@Lightn0x yeah, I'm not denying that, I'm just being pedantic.

probably.... though magnus calling the move absurd in nepo's presence at the press conference was equally painful. you know, nepo has been nothing both humble and gracious in defeat during the match but normally he has this air of superiority and know it all surrounding him. he would ridicule this move and the gm making it also so all is fair.

Judit and fabi both considered C5 but most probably it was intuition but nepo had an hour on the clock to calculate

🤣

Make berlin Draw and Ruylopez draw great again

hes a good sport only on camera

Losing? That´s a stretch, but yeah he was just making sure there wasn´t any tactics or counter.

Anything is possible, but someone stronger will likely come along.

Alireza smiling

@Jasper Percabeth lol, 31y and have a rating close to 2800. Currently top 5th player in the world. This is the end of his career, yeah lol no.

Dont think he will win another candidates,he probably wouldnt have won these ones either if it werent for pause due to covid
