    Vidit is first name, Santosh is name of his father, Gujarathi is the surname. So Vidit Santosh Gujrati is the full name of the player. That is how people in Maharashtra state of India (where Vidit is from) are named.

      It's because Alireza got his hype because of his creativity and tactics as well as positional understanding. In the candidates almost all of those factors can be nullified by the huge amounts of preparation done by the players. And it seems like prep isn't Alireza's forte.

      Evaluation doesn't tell the whole story. Sometimes evaluation is even but you need a series of ultra precise moves to hold which the engine can find and that's why it evaluates position as even but from human perspective it's nearly lost.

    About the Vidit game, Levy says "the clock didn't play a big role in this game" but it's really only partially true.
    Vidit REALLY took his time and it really looked like he was heading himself into time trouble.
    The only reason Alireza didn't resign much earlier is because he pushed Vidit to time trouble by playing faster than usual to make him blunder. Otherwise the position is truely hopeless by the time he's down an exchange, and if not for the clock he'd resign immediatly
    Also, Alireza's time usage in the early parts of the game was quite unwise. He played Bd7 very quickly, and same goes for Qb6, both of which are mistakes. So in fact, this is one of the only games where the clock was interesting and played a big role.

    • @bowxfire5275
      @bowxfire5275 Місяць тому +3

      True. At one point i think around the move 12, Vidit had reached 58 minutes on his clock while Alireza with his Shervani had ~1 Hr 40 minutes. Position wise vidit was winning but time wise he was not, at that point he had 99.5% accuracy i believe while Alireza had 87.5%

    In southern part of India generally intials are instead of surnames/lastname for example D. Gukesh, D here is his father's name which is Dommaraju and person's first name is gukesh
    In northern part of India surnames/lastnames are used like samay raina
    Here samay is person's first name and raina is his lastname ( in northern India surnames are generally taken from father)
    In some parts of India middle names are also used in the case of North Indian it might be their father's name and in the case of South Indian it might be their first name and sometimes it might be completely different
    In some part of North east india mother's surname is taken instead of father

    levy! im pleased to say that I am qualified to answer this question (7:40). Vidith is the first name. Santosh is his dad's name aka the middle name, and Gujrathi is the last name/family name. fun fact- Gujrathi translates to "from Gujarat" which is the westernmost state of India and it also translates to "Gujarati" which is the language spoken in the state Gujarat.

      Don't sit on your rating like an egg expecting to hatch a qualification spot, folks. So was really pursuing the circuit qualification btw, which didn't pan out - the rating was a fallback. Alas, Firouzja was busy playing chess.

    Here's what Wikipedia says about Indian names: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_name
    Long story short, it seems to vary. Vidit is his given name and Gujrathi is his surname, Praggnanandhaa and Vaishali are their gives names and Rameshbabu their patronym, and Gukesh is his given name and Dommaraju his surname.
