    Most draws are boring, but the Nepo-Abasov end-game was breathtaking! Nepo was up a pawn and, more importantly, had a better layout, while Abasov had weaknesses that looked exploitable. I knew that I personally could not have won with Nepo's position, but I was confident Nepo would find a way to take advantage of the weaknesses in Abasov's position. And he did attack those weaknesses, but Abasov defended like an engine. Move after move Abasov found the only possible answer to Nepo's attack. I kept expecting him to play the one human-like move that would be all Nepo needed, but he just kept playing engine moves. I was in awe! If I had been defending Black that end-game I surely would have lost, not only to Nepo but to almost anyone. This game proved Abasov does deserve to be in this tournament, despite his lower ranking.

    • @brendanduffy5286
      @brendanduffy5286 Місяць тому +9

      100%. Abasovs last 2 games have been unreal and further confirms that he’s well deserving of the spot. Most anyone else would’ve lost with black there.

      @spacecomunication Місяць тому +3

      the Nepo Abasov game was a draw for more like 40 moves. Nepo didn't won a pawn and managed not to win. The position was a draw even if the pawn was taken. The only way for Nepo (or Abasov to win) was if the other player blundered. Like in every position the first 4-5 moves recommended by the engine was evaluated at 0.0x. Thats enough for players at Nepo&Abasov's caliber. They both were playing the 3rd,2nd or 1st best moves by stockfish for the whole game.

    • @ilijavxx
      @ilijavxx Місяць тому +3

      The problem with Abasov is that he finds himself every game defending. To win in chess you must also attack. You can defend like an engine one game, two games, but eventually you will slip. This is largely the difference between a 2500 player and a 2700.

    The last player at the highest level to play ..f5 in positions like these was Karpov, and he did it only once or twice, because in those days not as much was known about chess, and he regarded it as "aggressive", rather than the more accurate "suicidally double-edged: do not do this against Kasparov".
    He was lucky to ascape with draws.

    btw, If Nakamura is referring to Caruana's pupils getting huge, everyone has that tell. If you're introduced to someone and their pupils do that, they're into you -- it is THAT reliable. It's why poker players, with a few exceptions, wear sunglasses.
    Also Re3 isn't a blunder, but the computer considers it a mistake: it drops the evaluation from around .80 in White's favor to equality. But ...Nf4 is not the way, precisely because of h4! where the only move for Black that avoids giving White a large advantage is the hard-to-find Qd8. The next few moves show why.

      ​@@dryfizz9969 what sad life one must have to talk shit about a 17 year old boy, who is the 2nd youngest player to play candidates and hold table topper position after half way of the tournament ? Somehow the game of smartness attracts the stupidest people as audience.

    I think Stockfish showed that black could play C5 late in the game to keep it going, although still dead lost. the point being to make the white queen take it, then Nxf6 is met with Nxc5 and you trade off queens, but then white has Nxe8 at the end and is just up a piece and a pawn and will definitely convert it easily

    I had high hopes for Fabi this tournament....He can still turn it around but he seems to be playing very defensive chess in every game. I'm not expert and don't claim to be but it seems to me that he has no attacking ideas at all.

    Fabi is playing timidly, not to lose. Nepo definitely would’ve taken that pawn on g2. Brilliant attack by Hikaru anyway after Fabi started retreating.

    Instead of resign, Fabi could've played c5, and then if Qxc5, attack Queen with Ne6! This also covers mate on f8.
    If Naka takes with pawn (d:c) there is still time to get out of jam.

    no comment on "his eyes got big". As for the result, it is a good chance for Hikaru to win this time round as the field favors him (no increment in the first 40 moves). He certainly seems to have bounced back from a stage-fright start and he is definitely in with a chance now, a good chance. As others have commented re the unlikely aspect of a player that excels in bullet to also might in classical, I would not concern about it too much. It is possible, it is a challenge and Hikaru wil be the better man for it in the sense that it might still not be easy to go to the "dark-side" of bullet and come back to tell the tale. We'll see. Round 9 is up haven't checked any of the games yet.

    This shows the small margins between a win, a draw and a loss. Fabi's queen looked misplaced and Hikaru's king's rook won the day. Minor miscalculations by Fabi and Nakamura on his game led to victory. Can he keep it up and will Fabi come back? Can they catch the steady Ian? I am excited to find out.

    It would be nice if before showing the game analysis, wherever possible, you give a bit of background of the past face off between the two players, like their head-to-head score in the relevant or in all formats. I am sure that although it might take a couple of minutes of your time, but it would add a lot of value to the videos. Just a suggestion.
