Nepo reminding fools why he was the challenger last go around
upravo, lik lagano osvaja
That is right people underestimated him but I still see fabi having better chances ngl
@Maher Nshei i agree
@@olivetree7430 better chances at what
And then goes and blunders against Magnus, makes Magnus wanna quit chess..lol
Just because Magnus plays on the God mode, people start assuming that nepo is weak, he successfully survived magnus god mode in atleast intial 6 matches
Magnus didn't need god mode against Nepo, sadly. I hope he gets another chance tho
@@kristiankrastanov5995 Yes he did they played the longest wcc game in history for nepo to break from then on
@@Ramin2340 Yeah. That game broke Nepo. Magnus has incredible stamina compared to most of his peers. That is just one of the reasons why he is so far ahead of the field
@@souptikb7 His ability to calculate and the endgame is the rest? Or are there even more? He is incredibly strong for sure, just want to know the rest of his strengths.
@@magnus5882 Wow a namesake! Magnus is brilliant at all parts of the game. Openings, middle game and endgames. Based on my little understanding of the game, his understanding of the game is so good that the middlegame is where he has the biggest advantage. In endgames he can play the longest and keep intense pressure. Some people fold under that pressure. His 2nd world championship challenger Caruana drew all the classical games and lost to him in rapids. That is one more thing about him. He can play all time formats equally well. I think he is the only person who has held all 3 time format titles at the same time - Classical World Champion, Rapid World Champion and Blitz World Champion.
In summary he is a genius with incredible tenacity and dedication. These 3 qualities make him a force to be reckoned with
Nepo is a fantastic player, he beat Ding with black in under 40 moves and now Firouzja in 38.
Ding in 32 moves to be precise 😶
I want Carunu to win the tournament or Nakamura
Looking like he's going to steamroll the whole tournament.
@@argonthesad It's still early.
Now Magnus doesn't want to play chess
He's too strong
Nepo's expressions are priceless 😂
😂😂😂
Yes my man nepo woke up and choose violence 😂💀
@@siddharthjoshi4532 so did Alireza. but he should know better than to get into a gunsligning match with nepo.
The real battle here is Nepo vs Hikaru for most memeable facial expressions
😂😂😂
Excellent statement
Lol
The hate Ian got for losing to Magnus last year was so bizarre to me. The amount of disrespect he got strictly for the optics of his play. He just played how he always does and he earned his contendership. How he handled all that publicly made me a fan. Can't imagine having international media turn on you, even your peers and colleagues in a niche as small as Super GM level chess. He must've found fewer friends than expected and I admire how he's shown up in 2022. What a resilient player.
He didn't play how he always does. He typically plays pretty fast by classical standards to put the pressure and time on his opponent, like in this game against Firouzja. In the WCC though, he played uncharacteristically slow. He would take long thinks on moves he usually wouldn't, or he would seemingly be paralyzed by indecision on the more pivotal moves.
That's where the criticism (at least what I've seen) stems from. It wasn't about him simply losing to Magnus, it was about him playing differently from his usual style.
@@user-gx8dl1dt2y nah when I watched it live the main thing was people discussing he rushed key moves or that he wasn't at the board. Again, the optics of his play came under attack.
@@MM-qm9ld I think it was his strategy to play bad in 2021 championship, dat actually demotivated Magnus to that extent that he retired from classic chess lolz. And now, in 2023 Nepo had big chance to win the title. Nice future sight by Nepo, genius
2:19 that bottle catch, lol. When you woke with the right foot!
Nepo teaching youngsters that chess is brutal, since he is experienced enough in this.
damn bro, i can feel the disappointment and frustration from ali's smile.
:'(
Well he can't throw a mouse fit like he did in online games years ago
yeah exactly what I thought when I saw it, felt sorry for him... He's same as Pragg, huge potential but still very young, they need to go through more tournaments like this to be able to deal with the pressure better
Was almost crying
I love when media and people overhype someone but they end up humbled by 'underdog' that same people underestimated.
Nepo is a tremendous player, and Alireza is still very young. I think that this defeat will release the pressure that was put over the young Firoujza, and from now on, it's gonna bring his potential to the tournament.
Absolutely right, soemtimes lose is important to release people pressure
@@KingBhai25524 he will take risk, now, only risk taker prone to be great, at time it backfires but its important
He has playing very audacious, sacrificing the exchange or even whole pieces for positional advantage. Missed some oportunities. Lets hope he has more tricks from the hat and can come to a fruitful conclusion.
@@KingBhai25524 You were not raised right. Such a shame you are. What are you clarifying after calling people foolish for stating their opinion?
@@Adityadreamer The guy's played 3 games with black. He has 6 left with white. I'm sure he's gonna be fine. He's getting the more difficult games out of the way.
It seems like ian delivered a very clear message to Magnus on who's stronger between him and Firujza, after Magnus' declarations post last world champion tournament...
That might be, from Carlsen's side maybe he doesen't feel like he has anything more to prove since he already beat Ian and wants to challenge the new generation🤷♂
no, magnus said that he is retiring only to leave the place of someone who fully deserves, who is of his generation and deserves as much as him to be champion after so many years of work, he said he will only play alireza for that he doesn't think he still deserves to be champion. it is logical and fine
@@imperatoresarchitecture6191 i think that he feels like trapped in that tournament which bring with it an insane amount of work to be prepared. I intend of course the one to defend the world champion title.
Probably he'd like more to play more tournaments with different time controls or try to reach 2900 elo, or be again world champions in all time controls, idk, but that declaration after the end of the world tournament was kind of weird given how bad Ian played.
I think Magnus knows that all the way.
I also think he is not interested to play Ian because of Nepo's inconstancy. It is not fun to play against the dude, who is capable to play marvelous chess, but unable to maintain focus on long distances.

Nepo is strong player , most likley he is most lethal in this tournament .. pressure got to him last time against magnus .. i truly believe this time magnus would have a lot of trouble against him , Nepo is gonna play with something to prove .. i know most people dont wanna a rematch but i really want one ..
Maybe - the problem with a long match against Magnus is it will have its ups and downs. It isn't enough to be able to handle the ups.
Wrong. Magnus will destroy Nepo again. But I don't believe Magnus would bother. He will just resign the title.
Yes rooting Ian for this same reason deserves second chance. Other hikaru will be interesting choice
@@rajsub3884 didnt Fabi draw all 12 games against magnus in 2018 ? would love a rematch of that
sp do i .
i hope nepo win both candidates and WC
When Ian pour himself some tea during his time, shit send me. what a chad
2:20 That save though?
He pre-moved to save it.
And 2:23, "catch me if you can" - Nepo just did 2 seconds ago, as always one step ahead... Ding in 40, Ali in 38, I guess Naka in 36 then? xD
Ian was not thinking for the move, he was allowing time to firouzja to decide when to resign..LOL
Great Ian! Congratulations!
Candidates is brutal tournament. Double round robin classical between 8 players. But it used to be even more exchausting
In Yugoslavia 1959 and in Curacao 1962 there were 8 players and it was quadruple round robin. Imagine young Bobby Fischer`s feelings to play against Tal 4 times and to lose all 4 games in 1959. And then there were others : Petrosjan, Keres, Smyslov ... 28 games from each player.
Modern format is more human, but still probably the hardest tournament to win .
Well you have to realize that nepo and alireza will be the equivalent of people like keres korchnoi (maybe even tal) right, people don't respect them much now but when there will be books written about magnus a few centuries later they would be mentioned with the greatest of compliments :)
People should go a little easy on him. He is stills very young. He will learn to handle pressure better with time. Also, the tournament is still not over. You never know😛. Rooting for nepo and firouza
Well he trash talks like the godfather of chess so who cares about his performance
@@joxxx20 reasonable behaviour when you're this good
@@tracexcze5408 yes
@@Nnm26 delusional
@@tracexcze5408 I remember that lol. That was hilarious
Nepo has good chances to win this tournament, because he can handle the pressure and profit from its world chess championship prep
Wait. Didn't Magnus say he only wanted to play this reza Guy...... :l
“This reza guy?” 😑
What was your name did you say? Is it spelt with T?
@@risaalshaan 🙂
I like many others online dismissed Nepo because of his performance in last years WC match but we tend to forget that he’s one of the best players alive and won last candidates so obviously he’s good, and this game + the one vs Ding just shows it
That’s definitely the first time I’ve heard “and everyone else is Tom Hanks”. I’m sure of it.
Its funny how they were making fun of Nepo after Magnus beat him.
Now hes destroying plebs with force, Naka is the next victim tomorrow
Whatever, Magnus will still crush him.
Lol You underestimating Naka?
He's not gonna beat Naka, draw maybe but I doubt he'll beat him. Nepo isn't on fabianos level either. Fabi is just too indecisive
@@jokinghazard4022 naka will have white pieces, maybe he can draw then
Nepo looks strong so far..Lets see what happens vs Naka..
I want nepo to win the candidates and the wcc. It would be the greatest comeback story ever.
I dont think Ali can win this tournament, he needs at least 2 wins to take back the deficit or 3 in worst scenario.
he is like "is this the guy that Carlsen mentioned about?"
Is it me or when Ian was looking at Firouzja he was thinking "Dude, are you not going to resign here?"
its not Alireza's moment, maybe another time
Did Alireza play Carunu yet
@@marcconnelly5652 no
@@marcconnelly5652 not yet i dont think
@@marcconnelly5652 who's Carunu??
He’s overrated
And held the bottle in style too.
There are 8 rounds to go. A lot can happen, but that one move blunder was crazy.
It's crazy how Ian has 52 minutes and Alireza had 17 seconds.
U can see why Ian is the fastest chess player
Unfortunately that speed is a double edged sword. Sometimes he plays without taking the time to think his move through properly.
@@saritamlbb and Fizzy is the slowest.
i hope that is the experience by the Magnus match
not just a lucky stage by Ian
Really hope
When I saw the time difference, I thought it was wrong. I look at the clock multiple times to confirm
Ian's championship prep will definitely be insane
Beautiful win by Nepo
magnus said that he is retiring only to leave the place of someone who fully deserves, who is of his generation and deserves as much as him to be champion after so many years of work, he said he will only play alireza for that he doesn't think he deserves to be champion. it is logical and fine
Nepo wants a second round 😎
I always knew he would win.
Kf8, Qh6, Kf7, Rg7, Bxg7, Qxg7# is the mate?
Too risky play from Firu. Hopefully he can get back.
When it comes to facial expressions, one has to agree that Nepo, Nakamura and Carlsen are most expressive one's.
MVL, Caruana and Wesley and even Mamedyarov probably the least expressive.
And Ding always looks dejected with the moves he makes!!
Notable to add that Levon always looks confused😂
@@supbb7350 Really? To me Levon looks pretty relaxed. Leaning back on the chair, with one hand back on his head and eyes gazed at the board.
@@vinitshrivastava2489 well you can say its relaxed but to me it also looks like he's always confused which is rarely the case XD
Believe me, the rematch would've been different this time.
Obviously I was talking about Championship match.
When has sipping tea been so gangster?
Damn Nepo looks like Harvey Specter. 😂😂😂😂
Before the start everyone predicted that it would be Ding Or Firouza who would be leading the table but you can't keep the beast quiet for Long
Wish Ian the best…. besides this tournament. I really really want Fabi firouzja or ding.
nice counterplay
Nepo needs an undershirt lol
... Didn't Tom Hanks win in the end though?
Does anybody know why Alireza isn't recording his and Ian's moves on the scoresheet?
At 1:00 nepo was like r u serious.
Makes me wonder if Magnus didnt intentionally call out Firoujza to win the tournament just to build pressure on him and, if for no other reason, than to see how he handled it. Seems like it has taken a toll, otherwise i cant explain his difficulty. (Not that playing Nepo would ever be easy, anyways, but, for Magnus it was... stark contrast).
It's easily explained. The candidates is a murderers row of the best chess players in the world with everything to gain. Magnus had to play one of the greatest chess world championship matches of all time to beat Nepo, it was anything but easy. Nepo is a straight up savage.
yo im so sick of ppl like you who are beginner level players trying to explain everything with some hidden psychological motive, maybe he just played bad? consider that?
@@Wtahc it's not even a far fetched suggestion tho. Maybe magnus was just trolling firouzja lol.
@@Wtahc you must be new to sports and the psychological games players play with one another (and that chess is famous for). But you're right, of course Firouzja could just be having a wildly and uncharacteristically bad underperformance. But I think most people would be bet that the pressure of the moment is what has gotten to him and if the whole world, including the world champion is pointing you out to win the tournament then that pressure only increases. But i like how you think this is "hidden," as if an observation as basic as the one i just laid out took any sort of special extrapolation of psychology. Its completely obvious, but maybe not to someone as shallow as you.
@@davidcline471 guess my rating
Ian says young Firouzja
smooth catch at 2:19
Firouzja is young. Props to these young kids.
Karjakin was the closest to beat Carlsen in 2016. MC recuperates himself quickly under pressure.
I'm agree with you. Sergey is power player. And he is Russian 🇷🇺 ZOV
I think Alireza can comeback from it. He got handled well, it was a good experience for him.
i think nepo got a lucky day.
That's what I was talking.My player is back to claim what belongs to him in this fide I noticed and watched the original matches of Ian whether it's ding or alireza his body language was giving a clear instinct that he is in Thanos mode he on first match any one who play ding will play more solidly I noticed his each movement gesture and what it tells is that he is not here to wait he want blood shed on board .with each move he made his clear intent that he is all in candidates whether he would win it or lose it but not going to play a passive game
Great insight! This is what I like to see in comments
Try grammarly.
Last few moves were really brutal indeed...
@@RishabhSharma10225 thanks for suggestion
I think for the last 4 years Nepo is the 2nd best player in the world. Alireza and Fabi are also strong, but in key moments Ian is a machine. Only Magnus is stronger
Alrieza kid in game beast in ratings.
Long ways to go but Nepo is in a good position to win the candidates. Alireza plays exciting chess but he’s having issues capitalizing on + pos
nice the boards are getting smaller and smaller
This nepo is legendary.
2:19 Nice move! =)
Catching the falling bottle in one fluid movement just completed a perfect day for Ian. Alireza really disappointed me in this one.
Alireza attitude changing,from magnus incident
Alireza has looked terrible Magnus needs to reconsider who his best challenger is.
2:10 Buy Nepo a longer shirt
The pain in Alireza’s smile
It only shows how good Magnus Carlsen is. He made Nepo look like a child playing chess in the world championship. Congrats to Nepo, he deserves a revanche !
Can it be Mag doesn't regard Ian as a real competitor now he defeated him and should Nepo take another chance will underestimate him and lose...
Look at Nepo’s face!
Has Anyone Noticed the Changes
in the Playing Style of Alireza ?
What did they do to him ? 😑
Same happened with nepo in the WC, he changed his style.
Johnny Doe They massacred him
Alireza played a sharp, attacking, double edged game. That's how he has always played. What do you mean by your comment? Just because he lost doesn't mean his style changed. "What did they do to him?" lol
They put him in the most difficult tournament in chess. Pressure gets to you if you are not ready.
Ultra Instinct Shaggy They massacred my boy
Was Nepo also whispering stuff in Russian?
I've gotten behind on looking at these games. But Nepomniachtchi's positions have been looking loaded with attacking possibilities. I think Firouzja might be hanging in there too tough. Showing too much heart or grit. There are some great games this tournament, though. I want to study all of them. 😏
I CANT WATCH THIS IM SO SAD
idk why, but after watching these matches when I play online, I just crush my opponents in like first 3 games, thinking of myself like a grandmaster. But then I am back to my original form..xD
GIGACHAD
Ngl Nepo been looking like a bootleg Magnus this Candidates
Nepo has had already his chance, i don't think he'll win magnus in the championship in another round
Can somebody explain why they always gotta write down moves. Like isnt it disturbing for them?
its just a rule, idk why.
In every classical game on every level you write down moves. That's in case there is some controversy or debate, the arbiter can check the scorsheets. Also it is for players to have the possibility to analyse it later. And also, at the end of the game, both players have to sign the scorsheets to confirm that there is the right result.
You could argue, that on this level, the games are broadcasted online so there is no need to write down moves. But there are two reasons in favor of writing down:
1) Online broadcast can fail, some technical problem,
2) it is a cool thing
I have been playing classical games last ten years and I have my scoresheets from each and every one of my games except two, which I sadly lost. Once I will show them to my children and grandchildren. :)
An other reason is that in order to claim a draw by threefold repetition you have to call the arbiter and show him the past moves
@@softan yes, I was talking generally about all levels
I really hope Nepo doesnt win this one. I want to see a contender that doesnt lose his shit in the final
I wish Alireza let him he mate over the board. That would have been cool.
Clutch water save at 2:19
The next world champion no doubt
😂 😂
Have some faith bro
🤔🤔🤔🤔😅😅🤣🤣🤣
What drink Nepo? Coffe?, tea?, coke?, Chocolate?
Yes
Why he has 50 minutes left is that normal??
The mind games this russian offers in the table, is hauntingly beautiful
Nepo wins. Magnus vs Nepo II. And Magnus might even lose a match, giving Magnus what he really wants (a fight). Not because Nepo is as strong as Magnus, but Magnus might take him lightly because of the previous experiences.
These days, all sports or games are about nerves. Other things, not so much.
Night on b2 is out of play
Thanks for spoiling it before the Gotham recap
aww firojza gonna cry ? 🥺
Probably... Just probably... Nepo will be win candidates again...
Alireza really hates Magnus right about now
Nepo is handsome and smart 🔥🔥
Life Time Head-to-Head Classical Games:
Nakamura beat Nepomniachtchi 9 to 5, with 7 draws.
Tomorrow should be interesting.
hopefully nepo loses his next 2 games or so , i really dont want to see nepo vs magnus again
why does nepo have 1 hour on the clock and the other dude has like 12 seconds lol
Alireza blundered a pawn very early and had spent a lot of time after that
@@lammatt jesus that much time huh...ok thanks for the explanation my friend
I think nepo wants to play with magnus for 2nd time in world chess championship...
