Irina Krush & Aman Hambleton take us through the most exciting moments of round 12 | FIDE Candidates 

love this short recap of the highlights -- so good

Some of my fav commentators here...

GM Aman Hambelton has such a deep and satisfying voice such a joy to listen to

if you see closely they are analysing with the bar but they crop it out so we dont see it. kind of bad job though cos we can still see the bar

So we've got three joint leaders with 7.5 pts each, but who do they face in the two remaining rounds? Mostly eachother - Nepo vs. Nakamura in the next one, Nakamura vs. Gukesh in the last one. But Gukesh will also face Firouzja - who's having a bad tournament, despite having unexpectedly beaten the very same Gukesh a few rounds before - and with white pieces at that,. Meanwhile Nepo will have black pieces against Caruana. This setup tips the scale in favor of Gukesh. All of these could be draws, and then if only Gukesh exacts his revenge on demoralized Firouzja, he wins the tournament.

Irina has been a great commentator, she just needs to keep her lapel mic on so we can hear her the whole time. She brings the energy though.

Aman is the goat

When you compare the standings against Carlsen's predictions before the tournament, it's clear that Carlsen had: * overrated Firouzja (putting him in the "will do well" category) * underrated Gukesh (putting him in "will do poorly")

Wow, it’s so refreshing to get commentary from someone as insightful as Aman, as opposed to that other guy.

Rooting for gukesh❤

As an amateur sound guy.... this is terrible in that department

Vishy left and the views dropped
