I think it's hard, Wesley moves are so unconventional, winning even from unpopular openings, making it hard to spot which move really triggers brilliancy... I just watched about 2 games of wesley though.. hehehe
@@mohammadyassersabtal6501 that's what makes Wesley one of my favorite players. It seems like his way of thinking goes against the grain of just about every other player in history and he has such an off-kilter style yet is still just as strong as everyone in the world besides Magnus and Fabi
The thing is, Anand already did an interview where they wnt through his 9 or 10 best moves/games, so we've seen them before. And Petrosian has a few pretty games but a lot of his best moves otherwise are his patented exchange sacrifices and prophylactic moves that the majority of this channel's audience wont appreciate.
@@joedorben3504 You're completely missing the point. It's more about entertainment. A video could easily be done on 5 top/exciting moves from the player. It doesn't literally have to be the moves the player has said nor does it have to be the best. It's more like 5 entertaining moves that make a great RU-vid video.
Yeah, it would be fun to see Nepo play Magnus for the title. I believe Magnus would win (of course) but that the match would be more exciting than the matches vs Caruana and Karjakin.
I love this series. Simon can be a bit much, I know :), and yeah the flashy style is not for everyone but it's in any case a neat way to get to know these players a little bit and appreciate great tactical combinations.
@@jawcopter Im pretty sure most or all of his wins were when they were kids, and come on now, I think we all know Magnus wouldnt lose his WC title to any of the current elite players, Firouzna is the only one who has a chance of taking it from him anytime in the next 10-15 years
I was hoping he would have explained more possibilities for someone like me who’s not very good at visualising so far ahead. Say at 4:33, what happens if the black knight takes the rook instead of the queen? The white bishop will take the black bishop and after the black rook just moves aside, isn’t that still equal for both?
I think you should only show the top 5 moves of chess players that passed away or of ones that are not active anymore, because the others can add any move into these videos at any moment
I have a feeling and strongly believe so that players in the past like mikhial tal and rashmudiinov ( i dunno how to spell his name sorry) sacrificed their queens to destroy the kings protection and analyse moves ahead what their opponent would play and go on to slaughter their king.... These days mostly players sacrifice the queen to get more pieces with forks, discovered checks etc
the second is that I dont understand. Nepo has only a queen and a rook, while black has extra bishop. isn't that a winning for black? could please someone share the full game of the second one? thank you
I'm not saying he will win the candidates, but he is the most likely to actually win the title from Magnus. He has a winning record against him already
