outstanding commentary Josip. Many thanks ❤

[@sonphan739]

Vidit made a lot of bad moves in this game, especially with the rook being out of the game for many moves.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

You were quick with this one Josip. Nice to see the Berlin broken. yes Nepo does great in the candidates. i still have Fabi as favourite though. Thank you.

[@pensiveape6184]

I simply don't understand Vidit's move Rook b3? From the practical point of view you put yourself in the pickle. Difficult to get the Rook out of there.
I watched the live analysis, everyone was favouring Black's Pony on d5 and then Bishop on e7. On c6 that Pony was not so active. I love Berlin, I'm sorry Vidit lost.

Thanks so much for your reviews: Engine vs. Engine and top human players. The cutting edge of chess.

[@Jozarovschesschannel]

Thanks for the support

[@spghose2437]

Moving the rook to a plateau is certainly an armature staff and dull game by an aggressive genius. heartbroken......

[@davidschneide5422]

Ke5 was one of the players(or arbiter)putting kings on central white squares to indicate winner, mistakenly recorded as final move.

[@winstonchurchill7240]

Great analysis, many thanks!
