I am the inventor of Territorial Chess, the first successful fusion between Chess and Go. The game is not published yet, but I'll be making some videos about it soon.
agreed, but not to forget the black side of London where he received check mate too, just the earlier game.. its all studied lines, and one stumble and other grab it.. not much to praise much. it s is nt either a Tal or fishers game ya
I keep having to remind myself how young he is, becuase the beard. But he's young enough that you can guarantee he'll get significantly stronger over the next few years.
Antonio, thanks for adding the clocks....a nice touch, especially because quite a few games in the candidates have been down under a minute until time control was reached.
I would like to know whether there was some brilliant move Nepo could have made to bring home the win, instead of just daring Abasov to make a mistake.
@@GeraldM_inNC That was what happened in Round 5, Abasov v. Gukesh. On move 83, one wrong queen move costed Abasov the draw, and it's what Nepo was hoping for but couldnt achieve today. It's an understandable strategy for Abasov. Every draw in the tournament earns you 3500 euros, and against vastly higher-rated super GMs and child prodigies imaginable, Abasov has done wonders.
I don't see that is fair to have player from the same country to play in the candidates. I mean abandoning a semi open file is to obvious to see that Vidit drop the game for the his opponent.
Bro are you going to talk about the draw between Abasov and Nepo? Thanks for all the amazing content for so many years, I started following you like 4 years ago! ❤
Its really impressive how many time I came across top player's games and they lost because they didnt have control over the open file, reminds me of deep blue x kasparov in the spanish opening
"It's a forced mate in 11, I'm sure you see that without any trouble." Yeah :D Actually, my calculation depth is unfortunately 3 or 4 maybe 5 when I concentrate :D
If a young gun like Gukesh could be world champion it could acutally motivate Magnus to come back for a generational game 👍 Magnus plays for the history books and nothing bellow that. And coming back against a next Gen world champ and winning could be historic enough for him to try.
I don't see why black shouldn't grab the b pawn in the c5 line that you gave. I don't see how white gets a pig in that line, and even in the line you gave, black has connected passed pawns and must be winning.
I think maybe then white play Ra1 and get control of the A-file. Black rook is kinda stranded on the b-file. Maybe sth like Rxb5 Ra1 Qd8 d5? Idk. Maybe I'll check with the engine later. Seem like a legit question
This was a massive win for Gukesh. Honestly, I like his attacking style of play but didn't think he will be a true contender. And at this point he's among the favorites to play Ding
Gukesh played like Karpov in that he fixed his pawn structure firmly and dominated with his pieces at the needed places leading to a winning King attack. Somebody knows how to learn from those who went before him.
Great Game by Gukesh once Gukesh bought his Queen to the a file Danya spotted two possible ways Gukesh could checkmate Vidit’s king exciting moment Great Win for Gukesh
I don't understand how Vidit misses the mistake that would lead to loss, the aRook to e1. It's as if he's losing on purpose because even me a mere 2.3k rapid lichess didn't missed that. 😂
why everybody assumes Nijat is weak just because he has this bad tournament? In the game vs Nepo he was playing the best moves recommended by the engine... 99% accuracy
Among other factors, the dominance of the Soviet chess school was determined by an unspoken rule to deliberately lose games in order to support the favorite of the tournament.
