The thing is, gukesh is clearly not playing his peak. The stakes are so high and he's crazy nervous even though you can't see it on face value. This fact is pretty clear when you compare his Olympiad performance to wcc
@@tubsy. Definitely, when time pass by.. will find answers to your question.... It is not guarantee if a person doing good will win at the end.. still there is probability of loss is exists.. it is all how they cope with the pressure and being present focus.
That's why I love Hikaru He always keeps it real, he knows people won't agree with it and would probably try and cancel him but he just doesn’t care he speaks his mind
There's no clear favourite. I think WCC will probably keep rotating between Gukesh, Arjun, Pragg and Firoujza. It would be great if Nihal and Parham also get their chances. Unfortunately with Gukesh, Pragg and Arjun, chances to even play high rated tournaments could be limited for Nihal. Vidit and Adhiban seem to not even be on organizers' priority.
@@vipperson4938 Nihal is a curious case. Not getting tournament invites limits his chances to level up. Vidit and Parham make the "in-between" generation. It's very hard to break out of that. I'm not saying they will or won't get their chances, but even getting to candidates would be a big deal here on...
Do you think Arjun should have played in this WCC instead of Gukesh? Drop your thoughts below! 👇🏻
Nope yo! ;)

Once he cleared candidates.. no one is better than gukesh at this point ...
One single tournament does not determine that. Arjun has by far the best, most consistent results.

The candidates its a lucky tournament to, the other players play more solid or mor risky vs other players
@@tubsy.It's not one tournament. He's had consistent results the last 2 years. This year it's just he didn't play as much as Arjun for wcc prep
But Arjun,pragg are stronger than gukesh
That's why I love Hikaru

Nodirbek?
@shauryalohani7002 Yup. My bad.
Nihal, parham, and Vidit will not be world champion, the title isn’t that much of a joke yet

I do wonder how this match would have went if Arjun was playing this WCC and not Gukesh...
That's my thoughts too
So in a parallel universe, Arjun is the world champion?
Gukesh should just stick to Wei Yi.
Huh
