      @@takibaysultan Yeah, if Ian draws against Hikaru with white, he *needs* to win against Fabiano with black. But Fabiano really doesn't lose often with white. Let's say he gets that dub anyway.
      If Gukesh beats Alireza and draws Hikaru with black, it's tiebreakers between Gukesh and Nepo (Nepo probably wins)
      But if Gukesh beats Alireza *and* Hikaru, then Gukesh simply wins.
      If Hikaru beats Gukesh? Tiebreakers Nepo-Hikaru.
      If Nepo draws both Hikaru and Fabiano? He's out if Gukesh beats Alireza and draws Hikaru, he's out if Gukesh draws Alireza and beats Hikaru, he's out if Hikaru beats Gukesh.
      If he draws both those games, his only path to winning is tiebreakers (Alireza beats Gukesh, Gukesh doesn't lose to Hikaru.)
      The single most important game Ian has left is the game against Hikaru. It's the one he has a chance of winning, and without it, getting first place is a long shot.

    I thought exactly the same when I was looking at the schedule. A tough last couple of games to go against the other top 2, but that means you control your own destiny.
    Good luck Hikaru, I think it's amazing that we have one of the best players in the world giving us regular and near immediate insights into his games.

    Congrats on the 3rd straight win! You’ve been incredible to watch this candidates along with the other challengers. Watching your opening ideas and novelty moves has been so enjoyable and in my opinion really crushes the narrative that computers killed chess as you play unheard of never seen before and unimaginable ideas right from the opening instead of the standard mainline Sicilians QGD or spanish. Goodluck to a strong finish in the tournament.

    Alireza - Gukesh 1-0

    • @Vincenzo-ks3zl
      @Vincenzo-ks3zl Місяць тому +6

      I think Hikaru is gonna play for a draw, there's no need to push with black to potentially loose the game and the tournament with it. Hikaru also needs to keep an eye on gukesh who is unlikely to win against alireza. Yes alireza has had a bad tournament but he's got the white pieces after all. Trying to overpush is just too much of a risk for gukesh. So I expect 2 draws out of those two games. I also don't think nepo is gonna push too much with the white peices because the same risk of loosing the game and the whole tournament with it aplies to him as well. It wouldn't make much sense for any party to risk everything. The only one who is gonna go all out is caruana.
