Wow Nepo reacting to the win is so similar to Magnus’s reactions. The open eyes as he pulls his head back, looking to the side, the disbelief with the head shake.
That's because, Magnus and Nepomniachtchi are the exact same people in terms of personality, just different cultures and life. If both were switched, we would see the same people but in a different body. That's why they are BEST of friends. And why Magnus decided to share the title with him, because he really does deserve it's the man didn't start playing chess until his brain was already fully developed. Everyone else has a 20 year or longer starting edge in him. Nepo, while not the best directly, he's by far the most Genius. And is severely underrated, sadly, Magnus knows, hence the huge respect and title sharing.
Thank you, i saw a comment mentioning this and thought they were saying a commentator said it, so i kept looking and couldnt find it. Was in chat tho, got it. I tend to ignore chat as a rule lmao
Ita pretty damn extraordinary that through all the accusations he literally reached and is playing at a level when he is having highly competitive matches with the top 2 players in the world.
Actually the board is a bit delayed so his reaction was after he got checkmated otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten up, he would have sat and hoped Ian would miss that move
Thats a hilarious video ngl, endeared me to Hans a bit and is prob why I defend him sometimes from people who dont seem to understand that more than 10% of the top 100 are known to have cheated online according to Caruana
That was a nice and mild insult, if it was, but I have to say its the first time someone compared me to an inverter. What mob opinions are you talking about?
@@dathat3204 He’s talking about your inability to have your own sense of judgement, you doorknob. Your “nice” insult is what every other meatrider has been parroting for the last 2 years ; any novelty or comedic element wore off long ago. The only people that still find it funny are edgy 400 elo noobs. People that actually follow chess realise that a GM being defamed by an all-time great isn’t good for the sport by any stretch of imagination.
Nepo wearing the Spanish football national team away kit is nice to see as spaniard, from now, I support him whatever he plays unless against spanish players 😅
Ok but mate in 1 aside, can we talk about how that starting position was probably the closest thing you're ever gonna get to a standard chess position? Even the queen and king were on the right sides lmao
If Hans was about 20% less arrogant I think he’d be a great addition at the elite level chess. Love or hate him he’s here to stay, his fast paced no fear chess is refreshing, just wish he’d denounce ‘the procedure’ and be a bit more in touch with reality but guess that’s all part of the pressure with being a top level gm
True hes not a great addition to the elite level of chess but he clearly is a part of it, he has been top 10 multiple times. And he is similarly to magnus carlsen, niemann is almost 90% natural talent and 10% practise. Niemann is 21, and magnus at 21 was already a 2800+ but niemann in 5 to 10 years will for sure sit comfortably in the top 10
People keep talking about the comment that the game was so high level and then he blundered ,but the game was so high level Hans and Nepo both played a great game ,but at the end of day time kills. Its not that he really lost the game due to lack of accuracy its lack of time still a very high level game.
The timing of "This game is so high level wonderful performance by both" twitch comment haha
Comedic timing is real
the blunder speaks for itself
hans is slowly climbing up the leaderboard ladder and no one is noticing it...
@@TheNoobHamster yeah only edgy kids like you notice obviously
@@TheNoobHamsterI'm noticing.
Noticing that he loses against anyone decent if he can't cheat
@TheBachKornett brother he mated magnus at the world blitz tornament over the board, he's really is just that good
This joke is so dead
I love how Nepo is one of the best chess players in the world while looking flabbergasted by every move 😂

Possible, but no players would miss that elementary checkmate! Lol

Lmaoo
12:37 The comment's timing just after checkmate😂 😂😂
That motorboating from Nepo will forever be one of the best endings to a game ever. Hans storming off isn't even of not anymore.
Ian's face after the blunder is making me laugh lol
it's the famous Kasparov blunder face.

That's because it's actually been 2 weeks since he took a shower.

@@pingukuteproSo are you
@@peanutbutter4166 I play this format on bullet lol. Easy gane
That particular position/opening, especially. So many pitfalls and traps in that one!
Cheating would have avoided the mate in 1.
if you look carefully - Hans had realised the mate in 1 after he has moved
Im always here to support ian 💯
The moment where he leaves comes back and leaves again is the funniest
Next video on Hikaru's channel - "Future World Champion blunders mate in 1 in a drawn position."
Man see chess upload
Man happy
Man see Hans loss
Man very happy
this would've been surprising if it wasn't Hans
Ian’s expression speaks for itself.
“Never play F3.” - GM Ben Finegold
Nepo is the most expressive chess player out there
The look on Han's face when he realized his last move.......was he last move......priceless
you can see the beads putting in good work at 5:30
Poor Hans, the batteries in the beads died at the wrong moment! 😯

I love seeing Hans blunder for some reason 😂
Ian`s face speaks for itself
It's like 4 blunders to have the king standing like that.
Hans came back to the camera to see if it was real, to see if that actually happened
Karma caught Hans bragging after the first game, great match tho.
Holy Cow, very cool to see David Pruess doing commentary. I still remember his video series in the early Chesscom days, "Your Games Analyzed".
This is the 2025 version of missing lethal
He saw the eval bar and panicked before mate was played ;)
You did Hans *dirty* with that thumbnail 💀☠️💀☠️
Nepo wearing the Spanish football national team away kit is nice to see as spaniard, from now, I support him whatever he plays unless against spanish players 😅
blunder mate in 1 12:27 ... the timing of the audience's comment in the middle was epic.
and then he looks over at where hans should be omg its too perfect
Ok but mate in 1 aside, can we talk about how that starting position was probably the closest thing you're ever gonna get to a standard chess position? Even the queen and king were on the right sides lmao
Well deserved. Also Ian played well.
Hans wasn't checking Stockfish on that move.
We all know why he had to get up so quickly from the chair. That really must hurt
His engine must have betrayed him there. Such a tragedy fallen upon two best friends 😔
Hans looks like he’s on day 4 of a 5 day bender. Dude needs help.
Blunder. Its a nightmare in chess.
The whole world is rooting for Hans Niemann in this game. 😁
So at least this proves he’s not cheating anymore. Good for Hans
Это наш боец! Наш слон!
Nepo is World Blitz Champion after all 😁
at least he proved he wasn't cheating
