Nakamura has drawn less than Gukesh. They both have 5 wins, Gukesh has 1 loss and Nakamura has 2 losses, both against Indian Vidit. Nakamura can deliver his vengence tomorrow deliverig a win against Vidit fellow Indian, for a 6 wins. In any case Nakamura will have less draws compared to Gukesh as they play each other.
Draw in both will be heading a clear winner, Decisive games with winners will head towards tiebreaker Edit: everyone drew, W Gukesh, GG hikaru nepo Fabi ❤️🩹
Hikaru couldn't have claimed the draw when the commentators thought he could, because after c7-c5, the e.p. right existed. The position was not the same as the two similar positions later. Nepo tells the judge it is his intention to repeat the position for the third time, and the game ends there: under the FIDE Laws the move that repeats the position doesn't actually get played if the guy who's about to play it is claiming. EDIT: oh I see that Levy spotted this
Magnus did say that Gukesh actually would've been in between 2 categories and he could do well but given that he had to choose 1 category he chose the one you're talking about

@@indianfan1029 nah they're way too high lv for me to call it avg, especially Danya with all the tactics in time scramble, he' the best commentator in late game low clock situation imo. Its just that Leko brings sth different in the opening ang middle game
Giri on the broadcast, speculated that Nakamura may have mixed up his opening lines. Nakamura: "I mean, there's a reason I'm here and Anish Giri is not here.” Giri's observation was fair. Naka blitzed all his moves up until exd5 (SF first choice by far) then played Qxd5 after 20 minutes thought. Then answered Ne4 (again SF first choice) with the weak Qd8. SF has white nearly winning there with d5! instead of Bc2.
They thought he had messed up his prep just by looking at the evaluation bar, but hikaru's analysis of his game makes it clear he didn't get confused with his prep. Even levy said it's easy to judge a game making assumptions looking at a computer with stockfish, but if the World no 3 or 2 time candidate winner didn't see a flaw in the position then there wasn't any actual flaw in the human sense

What great play by Gukesh. And credit to AliReza as well. Created so many threats. He has had the toughest luck. So many games where he could have won or drawn.
Levy getting flamed by the GM commentators for recommending horrible moves was... unexpectedly hilarious 😂. Respect him as a streamer, however, don't know why we have an IM trying to break down and calculate super GM moves 🤔.
Well the whole video is okay, but one thing which I didn’t liked was naroditsky not jumping out of his chair and launching himself into the space when Gukesh takes Rb7. 5:31:40 .
I'm not a chess expert nor practitioner and here is my 2 cents: I find commentators that utilize the engine in their commentary somewhat distasteful since it kills the problem solving aspect of it.
Dude, I am so done listening to these engine warriors commentate the game. It's extremely unprofessional as a commentator to criticize the players in this way. Notice that when Anish puts them on the spot to come up with a move, they all scurry away. Chess24, get some professional commentators please. Not these amateurs.
So you say GM level is not enough to comment chess game. Then who would you expect to do the job assuming the top players prefer to compete than do the commentary?
One feature I was very much 'not' enjoying was the posting of every 'featured chat' on a banner at the bottom. If I want to be subjected to the stream-of-thought of random people, I'll just open the chat. If people want to donate, that's great. But providing an option to essentially 'buy an ad' on my screen is pretty trashy.
I always rooted for gukesh over prag..because gukesh always plays fighting chess. Prag just wants to draw in super gm tournaments. And is being handily punished in the candidates. Great players both but gukesh simply wants to attack
I love the lengths the commentators went to defend Hikaru’s mistakes in the opening, then effortlessly pivoting to shitting on Abasov. He’s not part of the “club.” Yes, he’s an underdog but the attitude towards him this entire tournament has felt very elitist.
Sorry to say but at the top level, the term 'mistakes in the opening' is irrelevant, because anything can be playable cuase of computer prep, even if you're objectively worse but you have advantage of superior analysis
Gukesh has risen above all others. The answer is clear now: Gukesh is the top dude amongst the current Indian youngsters batch. Pragg needs to work hard if he wants to even catch up with Gukesh.
Having this goofy Rozman kid analyzing candidates is unbelievably silly. He’s 2300 peak years ago and inactive, so realistically a 2200 player, if that. He provided zero insight into the positions.
He's also the most influential chess content creator. They can just use the computer for chess insight if that was the only thing they were going for. This comment is incredibly short minded
It might be a hot take, but I really hope Gukesh doesn't win. I don't have anything against him, but he's definitely not the best player but has had a very good tournament. I like the best player to play Ding, so the world champion means a little more again. If not Magnus, at least let it be one of the next best.
I hope he win this event. If any older player win this tournament and later win championship and become world champion. Won't be considered champion because everyone knows magnus is outplaying them for whole decade, but if Gukesh win this event, and win the championship then there won't be that debate and I think magnus will come back to prove that who is the final boss.
So the "best" player has to go through a process right? Vishy did that. Magnus did that. Titles and qualifiers have to be won. Or "best" players in ur opinion should simply be awarded the titles on a platter because they think they are the best? I think all the remaining three think they are the best and should be the next champion. How to decide then? Through a process right? If Nakamura, Fab and Ian are so much superior to Gukesh, then they should have demonstrated their superior claim in the match itself. Sadly that didn't happen.
@@SilentThespian I agree, I just think that people have good tournaments, and even play above their levels for a week. He deserves to win because this is the format. But I agree with Magnus that there need to be more games. That said, I really have nothing against the kid, and I hope if he does win it all, that he actually someday proves me wrong by becoming the best player in the world, or at least best among participants.
