I was hoping you would cover this as well. Thank you so much.
There's already a "Hitler freaks out w/ subtitles" parody of the final round, where Hitler, in this case, is a fan of Nakamura, and the announcement that he's played 1.d4 in a must-win game brings on the "taking off his glasses with trembling hands, followed by tantrum" scene.
If memory serves, Naka blew his chance at the last championship match because he firmly believed Magnus would defend his title. He didn't think second place in the candidates mattered. So his reaction this time, is probably an over correction and to be expected I guess in some ways.
According to the tournament regulations, ties for places other than first place are broken by mathematical tiebreaks: first by SB score and then by number of wins. As it happens, Nakamura has a better tiebreak score than Caruana and Nepo, so he would be the one to play a match against Gukesh, should Ding decline to play. On the other hand, Ding has already gone on the record as saying he'll play, so I think that scenario is incredibly unlikely as things stand right now.
Ding-ding
nice coverage of the game... thanks man
Thanks for covering this game Daniel
Kasparov literally had no more records left. He doesnt hold youngest candidates anymore as well.
fabi ian could've been decisive, then Naka would've finished 3rd place.
Else 3way tie for 2nd, i don't see what Naka was hoping to achieve
IMO thats just an excuse for him, not being able to come up with anything in a must win game
I can't think of any reason why Nakamura did not go all out. Win here meant being a challenger and most likely champion, while loss meant nothing. Maybe US federation asked him not to risk losing as it would destroy Fabi's chances?
I am not sure that Ding not defending his title would be a wise decision in China. I think the obligation to play for country well supercedes any personal desire to not defend
Thanks Daniel. I think Naka played well generally but recovering from the first round loss was too difficult, Caruana was as usual a little too timid at crucial moments. Firouzja went for it each game,but seemed badly prepared Gukesh was best prepared and most solid. Of course I am only an average club player so in reality know nothing.
Nakamura drew in the first round and then lost, and he managed to stabilise quite well. For me his problem was that he didn't bring enough opening surprises to the table and was, in a strange sense, actual lacking some courage....but he rather spun it in a different way when commenting afterwards.
@@PowerPlayChess that all makes sense really. Thanks Daniel
Thank you for the coverage and really hope Ding defends his title!
He probably will: a 17-year-old World Chess Champion is only SLIGHTLY less absurd than a 17-year-old Heavyweight Champion.
Interesting speculation.
Am I missing something or is the last round of the candidates not the time to take risks?
Plot twist🔥!
I really really have to be careful here in what Im about to say, but it feels to me like Nakamura absolutely bottled it. I felt like he should have been better prepared but Gukesh twisted him up so easily that it is beyond a joke.
I think we will have a new world champion this yeah. Gukesh is a fantastic player and has been active, unlike Ding.
So what is with Magnus? Leaving the chess world? Or for the moment?
Nice nice ⚘️⚘️
I guess if Kramnik was playing white he'd say about the final position that black survives by miracle.
If that's his motivation than we might conclude throwing his hat into the ring in such an opportunistic manner shouldn't be rewarded. There are far better ways to end up in second place! I kind of missed the last round of the women's candidates, looked for it elsewhere, and heard of the unprecedented run of Vaishali with five wins in a row which washed her, after any aspiration to win it were smothered after a few rounds, up to a shared second.
Svitlana will be covering the last round when she has gathered herself after the trip to Toronto.
Some people criticize. Hikaru for playing chess part time. But many great players had other careers. Tarrasch, Lasker, Botvinnik and Taimanov to name a few.
Also Euwe, and so on. But times have changed. Chess is a much more professional discipline now than a hundred or even fifty years ago.
In happy that fabi and naka didnt win
interesting theory. but i don't believe it. Ding will not vanish, and Nakamura also did not think that deep.
probably hikaru hoped to put Gukesh low on time with a long dull game, and wanted to make Fabiano's chances higher in case he wins.
and last comment: hikaru's opening choice was very poor. why 2.c4? why not attacking with 3.e4 ?
One can hardly criticize 2.c4 but yes, 3.e4 would have been an inspired choice. I seem to remember many moons ago, that being a favourite of the late English GM, Tony Miles. Then again, I guess he was surprised by the QGA.
I thought it was a big mistake from Gukesh to exchange the queen, instead of trying a little for a win.
As the siuation was on the other board, it did seem to me that a draw only would give him a tiebreak, with a little less that 50% chance of winning the tournament. So he should add some percent by trying for a win (without taking too big chances, of course) . But well, Gukesh was proven right in his decision.
What? It was probably the best decision of his life. The validity of a decision is dependent on the results that it produces. And the result that this decision gave him, was the best he could ask for. And getting to the tiebreak is better than losing to nakamura. It ensured him a 2nd position in the candidates which losing would've never done. Simplifying the game was the best decision he could've made because thats what nakamura never wanted. He would've been OK with a slight disadvantage but still a complex position to fight for a win. Gukesh took that choice from him and nakamura basically accepted that he's out and he just played for a draw after that move too. Also let's stop acting like he cannot win rapid matches. He was the runner up in the tata steel chess where there was a tiebreak too. And he beat anish giri, beat Wei yi in first round but ended up losing at last as the runner up.
@@afkass4965 Yes as I said, he was proven right. And I am not acting like he cannot win rapid matches. The tiebreak could go either way
I think Ding will play the WCC but respectfully I think he will lose badly. He’s past his prime and has looked horrible the past few months.Gukesh on the other hand is young,full of energy and getting better daily. I don’t see Gukesh cracking the way that Ding and Nepo both did in the last WCC
He may not be well; alternatively he may be back to full fitness by the time the WCC comes around
For noobs as black, do we play Queen's Gambit Accepted or Declined?
@@andrewroberts8139declined! Keep a solid middle pawn structure
There is one obvious conclusion: Nakamura will kill Ding Liren in the months to come.
I heard that Nakamura streamed and created online content during tournament and that Firouzja played online chess. If that's true, then this is one of the most frivolous contenders' tournaments in history. It's sad what chess has become.
