"Sometimes, after a storm, you see pictures of towns with every house destroyed, except for one, which for some reason is completely pristine. That's nepo's king on e1" Yasser Seirawan
who was the last man taking any risk in WCC match? even Tal didn't play recklessly there. And at some Sinquefield Cup you can easily afford to play risky like this
@@VagifMustafa you have to create chances otherwise going in endgame with magnus will surely leads to either loss or draw . Nepo at some point should have taken risk (I'm talking about 2021 championship)
All those pawns pushing on relentlessly and the major pieces sitting unmoved on the first rank. It looks like it shouldn't work...but it does!! Fearless!! 👏👏👏
It was a devastating attack... commentators were commenting on Nepos numerous pawn movements but this was a brilliant attack...Nepo plays chess like Mozart... he loves classical...
Chess can sometimes be brutal and ruthless.. lethal attack from Nepo.. "Here comes the executioner" got me picturing the knight leaping forward with an ancient Roman battle ax
Giri also lost a Nimzo Indian against Van Foreest and/or Pragnanandhaa, in Tata Steel if I remember, where he went after the doubled C pawn and ended up with a bad position instead
Nepo is celebrated as an aggressive genius, but honestly this was so well prepped for Giri, as it relies on him playing with his characteristic solidity to spring the unstoppable attack. A beautifully violent game from big Ian! Nepo will always be my favourite, for both his style of play and the way he handled his tragic near misses for the world championship! My chess hero bar none!
Everyone was so impressed at the time. Nepo played differently than any game I'd ever seen from him. Interesting was the Ra1-Ra2 lift. The game mimicked Carlsen/Fiorito in the 2nd round of the late Tilted Tuesday of Aug. 20. featuring the same pawn pawn-dominated opening and the same rook lift. Fiorito was outclassed and blundered in time trouble. Still, it's the same opening novelty, played one day later!!!
Nepo's game seemed to be like one of those old Soviet ones from the 50's when one player just had to win a game and would spend days and nights looking for a new way to win.
I didn't understand Black moving Queen-C4. She has deserted the defense of her king without having a game-winning threat to justify it. The Queen should not be galavanting to some far away place when it's obvious the opponent is preparing an all out attack on her king.
Anish certainly got got in this game, however he defended for a lot longer than I thought possible. Tip: don’t let a SuperGM build up a pawn storm in front of your king.
With such a high draw rate... the truly best part of this cup, is Peter Svidler. Brilliant, childlike joy, and crazy endurance to comment non-stop for 5 hours.
I think a more appropriate Quote for this game would’ve been “ I like the moment when I can break a man’s ego” Nepo kind of humiliating Anish in this game really wild attack
wait but at 6:00 can't you just do a forced checkmate in 2? Qxh6 first to force the king to capture queen and then Rxh8 for checkmate? am i missing something?
This game got the attention of a lot of GM's... This game, White broke a lot of opening principles... ...and STILL produced a strong attack... Hikaru is impressed with this game too... 10 opening pawn moves...! with the king cozy on e1 :) His presentation is good :) I may watch Yasser's presentation after reading that fun comment :)
Maybe I missed the games in question, but did we see many Giri wins on this channel? I really struggle to think of many, but the guy obviously wins all the time with such an elo.
At 07:49 would be nice if you had explained why Anish can't play rf6 attacking Nepo's queen an pawn. Please Antonio, make long videos with deep analysis in nice positions.
I thought the game between Praggnanandhaa and Wesley So, Sinquefield Cup 2024 round 5 was interesting. Prag was winning throughout most of the game and Wesley was able to hold him to a draw...
