Isn't she 🔥 too.

@@ninetail0395 Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Racist

@@GunLanceEnjoyer You should look up racist in the dictionary.

@@marcweeks9178 Cheese Fart

Excellent comment, that’s in all the possible ways true.

I think there is a lot of computer prep in this game

Top shape...you are only as good as your opponent let's you be.

@@symba-uo3os Ilusion. When the game is winning in the opening with this players level its all preparation, NO MERITS.

@ it's a fast game lmao stop being cringe and get good at chess instead of wrongly thinking you know anything

Yes, perfect person to commentate this game

2700 level theory is quite different from a Chessable course

@@SimsHacks Wdym??

@@SimsHacks the course is by Ian Nepomniachtchi himself lol

@@fritzzz1372 Ian is not the same as Jan. It's made by German GM Jan Gustafsson.

@@SimsHacks ok, but still it's high level theory in a course by a GM. Wether you play at super gm level or not, the best move stays the best move.

Nepo definitely playing to all of his strengths in this match. Great to see.

@@berrieds what match are u talking about? And nepo never plays all his strength. He is a clown. But genius hahah

@@billmy2251 who asked

We need more players like Nepo among the elites. A pure chess player, intuitive, creative and a gentleman. Go Nepo!

@@billmy2251 It's best to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Against Alireza who so many people are wondering if he'd challenge Magnus soon...maybe he will, but for now he's not ready

I mean against Magnus Carlsen losing doesn’t make you a bad player, even though Nepos blunders were pretty bad

@@TheMarc477 yes, being top 10 in a world of 8 billion people is such an extreme achievement, still, you know he was pretty devastated to lose. I mean, i'm an average player, i don't calculate very deep, even i saw the pawn push that trapped nepo's bishop in.

@@wsemenske this was an old game and alireza has hit the number 2 spot in the world since then, he's higher rated than nepo now and all the other challengers and he's only 18! He might not be ready to win, but he is already ready to challenge because there's no one stronger besides carlsen. So amazing.

Nepo has my respect. He played like a machine for the first 5 games and gave the champion one hell of a battle in the 6th game. He underperforned later yes, but that has little to do with his skills, and everything to do with the stress. He is still an elite player, one I didn't really like before, but after that I became a fan of his as well, being a big Magnus fan.

Yea man same!

Against Magnus in a classical game would be suicide

@@CarloRossi54523 It can be, but at least he would have died in standing. This kamikaze style would have given him better chances anyhow, than what opening he had chosen.

I guess it's old video

Nepo still is rocking the man bun.

@@Tideman11 its an old one sept 9 2021

Tru most people just consider the start “boring”

IMO Nepo didn't really have good chances. Yes, game 6 crushed him, but if all it took for him to tilt is to lose one game, then there is no way he wouldn't have tilted later from a loss. Psychologically he wasn't prepared, and psychology is a huge factor in chess. Magnus is just a better player and has won 4 world championships consecutively. He has only ever lost 2 games out of all the World Championship games he has played in. He was definitely the favorite. Ian's a fantastic player, but his chances of winning against Magnus were pretty slim: maybe 20% at the most.

@@hypercubemaster2729 right. But usually 1 point ahead is almost enough to win the WC. So nepo had to go for more risk in the other games and unfortunatly blunderd. Magnus knew with 1 point ahead that He just need to play for draws and not for wins

@@ttt2953 I agree.

@@hypercubemaster2729 i agree, although many people would say 20% DOES count as "good chances" against someone so dominant, and clearly not past their peak yet : ) of course Nepo didn't have 50% chances. "He has only ever lost 2 games out of all the World Championship games he has played in" true, although these WC formats have been too short (ironically, now that they extended it a little bit - from 12 to 14 games - for Nepo, it turned out there had been no need even for 12 games :) ). eg. Carlsen's 2013 & 2014 matches against Anand are equivalent to just a single match back in the 80s/90s. this being said, it's pretty clear at this point that Carlsen's successful challenger won't come from his own generation. they've had their shots, being at their peak (look like Karjakin faded after the WC match), and they've failed. the next champion will be someone younger - maybe Firouzja (despite this particular video not making his prospects look very well, but he's been improving very fast).

Probably a joke but many people catch the bait and think this game was after Nepo;Magnus match. Even title is wrong (it was 25 moves). Not to mention it was not even classical game.

@@DavidM-nn8du yeah, Nepo still got manbun

Nf3 is certainly better than bc4, the reason fischer said that was because of the defense against Nf3 he invented. But the fischer defense isnt as good in this line: e4 e5 f4 exf4 nf3 d6 *bc4*(this is what diverges from fischers main analysis) a6 a5 nf6 nc3 bg4 d4 and this is just very comfortable for white

this game was from september

@@hunter-tm2kl dude literally thought nepo grew 2 inches of hair in a week lmao

@@GlassOfWater87 lmaooo

@@hunter-tm2kl aaa

@@GlassOfWater87 do you know what a joke is?

World number two

Short time control w no increment allowed it

Idt alireza is use to having to fight vs the KG anymore lol

in rapid or blitz it's still a powerful weapon at any level.

@@andrebourgeois4701 that’s in classical not in blitz

Are you doubting Nepo's ability to grow inches of hair in a week, shame on you.

It was played in September

firo is on fire cuz he has won 8 games against 2600 players, only 1 above 2700 and he lost to caruana carlsen etc , he hasnt won a serious event such as world rapid/blitz or norway chess or vijk wan zee

@ calm down big guy. There is only 2 guys above 2800 and ali reza is one of them. He isn't the best player now but sure as hell is on the way . Especially for his age.

@@ahmet18605 ok dunbass 🤍🖕

@@ahmet18605 Now talk buddy :D who won today :D

@ i guess you need to learn english to argue with me in the first hand. Read this again . "He isn't the best player now but sure as hell is on the way ."

This game was played in September

This informs the DGT board of the result.

Don't know. Horrible.

Black win by Force if you employ Fischer's defense. They can play differently, but they will just lose differently.

@@hq3473 Instead of repeating Fisher's words you should think for yourself. Just my piece of advice

This does not actually prove much

Alireza also improved a lot since! Amazing how at certain ages GMs grow. It was after Alireza broke 2800 that other GMs made that known, I think. Ian earned it for sure in the Candidates.

alireza wasnt even in candidates and even if he was he probably wouldntve won the tournament against those opponents 2 years ago or even at the start of this year

@@valff5770 yea sure

Wait a minute. You were a child playing on the Magnus app? Or was Judit the child? And you can play her in the Magnus app? I'm very confused by your comment.

@@matthewviramontes3131 there is an app owned by magnus in which you can play with magnus bot of different ages. So there are more bots of different players like Magnus' father and his sister also i think and there is Judit polgar also so you can play with them

@@matthewviramontes3131 Yeah we can play her on the Magnus app, as either a child or an adult. I was an adult playing her as a child there.

this is an old video

Oh

Did you mean !? *if Magnus DID NOT exist. You sure must have.

He's still great, just not the greatest. If that's not what you mean.
