      I don't consider online matches as an accurate representation of over the board events. But yeah, Alireza has really been toned down by people just because he didn't perform very well in Candidates, but that doesn't take away the fact that he is a very very strong player among the super GMs, and anyhow he has still room to grow.

    When Alireza's playing well, there is virtually nothing he cannot do. The problem is he hasn't been very consistent since 2022 because of the distractions around him. Also, it seems to be his Classical games that have taken more of a hit than faster formats. It could mean his natural talents are still there, but he just hasn't spent as much time as his should studying full-time, allowing his opponents to out-prepare him in Classical.

      If 21. ...Nc4 then 22. Qc3 traps black into an unfavorable exchange of pieces were white may win a piece for two pawns...other variations look good for white too. It may be that Nd5 was preferred because it cuts off the white queen's influence on the D file and no white pawn can challenge the black knight on d5...

      21. ...Nc4 I found a drawing chance for black...maybe I played it inaccurately for white, but it looks draw now. Nc4 may have been the way :)

    From all recollections this man was truly a light into this dark world. If any positive can come from this situation I pray Amber has asked for forgiveness and found grace
