      @samirmehta07 2 місяці тому

      It's not exactly the dominant strategy. If you're just trying to draw games , it'll hurt you at the end as most losses stem from a mindset of drawing . Caruana hasn't been winning the last 2 candidates for the very reason that he won't win , but he won't even lose and play so much theory that half of his games become drawish by move 30 while Nepo , Nakamura , Ding try to make most of every game they play . When you play candidates , you're not facing just one opponent at a time , the job is to compete with all the other 7 players in each and every round . I'm not saying Caruana is weak but his 2018 form was so good where he trusted himself and started getting wins and outruling any opponent who came close to his score ​@@3DHDcat

    you seem to have overlooked that while trapping the black queen, she can acrtually take the h2 pawn with an escape tunnel after this capture. Am I wrong?

    Why would you play Qf4 instead of pawn to e5 to protect the d6 bishop ?? I mean the queen is in good position near the king so that it can both attack or defend. Why would you move the queen and weaken your defense ? I don't get it.

    • @Phoenix.219
      @Phoenix.219 2 місяці тому

      He had formal suit (you can see that in the end of the match on FIDE channel).Maybe the rules had some loophole and didn't described what you can't have in a shirt bcz he is clearly wearing a shirt with formal cutting and that a shirt which if it was in lighter color it can be worn in any office. He had a blue suit which he end he took off the top part in the beginning and wore halfway. The only non formal part was his shirt wasn't tucked in but probably that too was a loophole or maybe FIDE isn't that strict on that and mainly cares about if you have a suit and shirt on or not and that he had
