    Jan wins the candidates second year in a row, so Ben re-posts his lecture from the last time that happened, confusing the audience.
    Seriously, the first almost three minutes kept me scratching my head: Jan will play Magnus this December (Really? Interesting level of confidence...); it will be played in Dubai, where they are also having an Expo (?! Didn't that close a few months ago?); Russian players can't display their flags because of a doping scandal (??? Is this Ben's humour?). The remark that Jan lost the last round finally tipped me off.

    Hey GMBen, I used to teach English in China. All Chinese students are taught the Petrov in primary school clubs and are taught to use it as an attacking opening with black.
    Standard theory on which openings are for draws Vs winning don't apply to China.

      @gruntgobshite 2 роки тому +1

      Vishy was crushed by Kasparov in 1995. So Ben shouldn’t make a lecture based on Vishy games? Also Nepo tilted after game 6 and then started playing one-move blunders. More like he self-destructed under pressure than Magnus outplaying him.

    • @fractalinfect3454
      @fractalinfect3454 2 роки тому

      @@gruntgobshite Fair point, but the pressure you speak of (that Ian folded under) was Magnus himself. Also, Ben goes to great length to present Ian as the truest legitimate challenger to Magnus, which was not borne out by their WC match. Caruana and Karjakin were both far more competitive with Magnus than Ian. My point is that the timing of the release of this lecture is odd. Well, maybe not so odd now that Ian has won the Candidates. Hopefully Magnus defends his title and Ian plays as well as we know that he can.

      Ian playing the Petroff was very strange. That seems to be the influence of Karjakin as his second. Ian got bored in game 6 and lost in 150 moves because he got himself in trouble by not playing in typical boring Petroff fashion
