    People sometimes just forget how good alireza is just bcz he failed in the candidates. There are only 6 or 7 players to defeat carlsen in a online match since 2020 and he's one of them (this should be enough to judge).

    • @thefighterinhades
      @thefighterinhades 26 днів тому +5

      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.

    8:05 I found that knight move, my logic was "free pawn and I attack rook" I'm so engine like

    Ahh yes, the classic mail man variation. Hasn't been played since the times of Murphy.

    Nxb7 isn't hard to identify as a candidate move. Figuring out why it works, namely why you can get away with it, takes quite a bit more time.

    Riza is playing well, but for the candidate tournament, I think he will be nervous and that's exactly why he makes mistakes and plays bad games.

    Isnt Nxb7 the first kind of move you look at? A pawn is hanging and it comes with an attack on a rook. Course lining up that rook with our queen makes it look bad and dismiss it, but still.

    Wow. Love Alireza's play. Hope he continues and doesn't end up like Gata Kamsky.

    I DID actually find Nd7, though I don't get what's special about it, seems to me that it's just taking a pawn xD.
