    Like Magnus said, I don't think anybody's actually stunned when Hikaru plays a great game and beats a top player.

      It was drawish game he has to keep it going create something for win to be in race for top1 as he might had assumed that nepo would win aginst nijat so a draw in this game would be detrimental for him, this is as I have understood it from hikaru's explanation and hikaru is not running for no1 as he himself says many times

    Great tactics by Hikaru Nf7+ and than Nd5 was Brilliant giving Fabi an option of losing his Queen or being Checkmated thanks to Fabiano who didn’t want to make concessions in the game choosing to recapture his taken Rook with his Bishop disconnecting the defending pieces of the knight on f8 Thanks for the Game James Enjoy your day

      It's a matrix. The players don't play themselves, so instead of a score, there is a pawn instead. The score is for the players in the column to the left, so at the bottom, Nijat has a loss to Gukesh and two draws against Nepo then a draw against Hikaru, for example. The tournament is a double round robin, so they will play each other twice. They have just played the first game of the second half, that's why they have two scores against one opponent each.

    • @petewest3122
      @petewest3122 Місяць тому

      Players numberrs are in the far left column. Gukesh .1, Nepo 2. etc.. Numbers cross the top row also represent the same players and produce a grid to show the score between all the candidates. For example:
      Place your finger on Gukesh's name and scroll along that row until until you're inline with the number 4 which represents Pragg. The Green 1 indicates that Gukesh beat Pragg.
      Still on Gukesh, scroll to 6 and see that there are two scores. This shows that Gukesh has played Vidit twice; 1 draw, 1 win.
      Of course, players can't play against themself so the diagonal pawns are just a way to fill in the blanks in the grid.
