@ellipticallyambiguousone7875 2 месяца назад

More like if you fail, you go again until you succeed. I mean winning candidates twice (and losing the wc matches twice) is an achievement in its own and with Ding in poor form, you wouldn't want to rule out Ian as WC, unless a plot twist and Ding like Carlsen also abdicated his title and then maybe we see Nepo a three time WC candidate winner instead of WC.

@sunburn74 2 месяца назад

Honestly I've followed Nepo's various candidate games and the moves made by the opponents follow the same pattern: completely drawn position with nothing happening, they over-push and bungle things, and then nepo wins. I mean who plays RB3 and traps their own rook? I'd say these games are much more opponents just being stupid and not being happy with a draw than nepo playing brilliantly and crushing things. I will credit nepo for his ability to play quickly but he plays mostly safe, fairly obvious moves. Its just that his opponents decide they need to play overly complex things and over push and then lose.

@MarioMartinazzi 2 месяца назад

Or maybe he blitz moves until move 20 and opponents needs to think a lot ending with no time on the clock? But I'm sure you could do better than vidit 😂

@yotoober1 2 месяца назад

Vishy saying that he does not see the merit of Nh3. Now why would a former WCC say this?? Has he forgotten already that winning a chess game does not depend on making the absolute best move/s but it depends on making a move or moves that your opponent doesn't understand or at least understands it to the depth that you do. In simple terms, you've prepped this move deeply and your opponent is left to figure it out over the board which figure you a big advantage especially on the clock while he burns minutes calculating and you already know the possible replies.

I think sometimes these super GMs get too inside their own heads and overthink things. Like, as a 1400-1500 myself, I can see visually trapping your own rook cannot be good! If you're in time trouble and not sure what to do, I think it's better to make some move that improves the position, rather than thinking of a complex strategy. Like putting my rook on an open file or something.
