That "Cagnus Malsen on the studio" came out of nowhere. I almost spit my water on my phone.
hahaha
Nepo is a jedi mind trick Grand Master : "this is not the pawn you are looking for"
Nepo is so resilient, it shows why he has remained undefeated in the Candidates for so long.
Prawn to sea ships.
It was excruciating watching Fabi blow it time after time. Congratulations to 17 year old Gukesh. Ding has been struggling recently. He will need to pick up his game to stop Gukesh.
It was downright torturous 😂. How many chances do you need to become world champion contender?! Fabi blew it. The two Americans with a combined experience of 67 years couldn’t stop the 17 year old kid from India. 😂
Congratulations to Gukesh and the Indian fans 🇮🇳👍🏻
@@Wargasm54age doesn’t mean much nowadays these youngsters 12 and 13 year old becoming GMs Gukesh has been playing tremendous chess great composure and focus in his games
Being I was rooting for Gukesh I was not looking forward to Gukesh having to play some tie breakers against Fabi I watched from Chess base India they could hardly believe it either Ian holding than Blundering than at one point it became obvious it was headed for a draw a feeling of elation I understand how you feel tho tough game
@@Wargasm54 "How many chances do you need to become world champion contender?" Not the best take -- many of the winning moves and continuations needed, particularly near the end, would have required engine-level precision (as commentators watching said, 3000+ rating) to find.
@@StevenSendak engine level precision found by a 17 year old kid from India as opposed to the no 2 and no 3 ranked players in the world 🙄
Your 2am espresso fuelled dedication to the art is wonderful to see. Even though it probably feels like your nervous system is melting out of your nose you're shouldering the 64 squared burden like Caissa. 👍
Fabi was +5 for 10 moves and still couldn't win.
Dude had 9 lives and lost them all 😑. Painful
just because the engine evaluation says the position is completely winning dosent mean its easy to win in a practical sense. Its easy to look at the computer and say white is winning, but when you have to convert a ridiculously difficult endgame with all the stakes and being under immense time pressure is soo much more difficult than it looks. Only magnus could handle such a situation.
@@equi9317
Fischer would have converted it into a win easily, and yet these guys say how much better players they are than him.
@@SenatorBluto brother you are 1000 rated don't pretend you know anything
Even I found that Qe8 move to triangulate and pick up the passed pawn, and I'm a low ELO scrub. It's inexcusable that a super GM blunders like that.
What a day and what a tournament. Gukesh is so inspiring!
I'm rooting for the older gentleman Ding, as an older gentleman myself. Go oldsters. ;)
That Bh7 was a huge blunder, because it transformed a simple winning game into a very complex one where you would need engine-like accuracy to navigate to a win.
wow.... that bishop blunder cost Fabi an easy win.
It was mad watching this live.
Gukesh only had that one loss to Alireza, that was a heartbreaker, but an important lesson.
Nepo had zero losses. Zero.
He lost the tournament...
@@thegorndoesn't matter.. Wins matter more
He should have won that game though...
If Magnus doesn't play for the next 5 years we may be able to see five new chess champions in those years.
The game is wide open for anybody right now.
And that's the difference between Magnuts and everyone else. He brings it home.
gg buddy boyos.
1:04 Cagnus Marlsen probably sounds real to non-Scandinavians 😂
It also sounds like a name George Costanza would come up with to impress his friends with his chess knowledge.
Flireza Airouzja, Cabiano Faruana, Nikaru Hakamura - This could be a stroke test.
Fabi is clearly past his prime & thus couldn’t convert it into a win !! Nepo played awful as well & was lucky to not have been toasted!! All credit to Gukesh for showing the 2800 GMs the exit door
So far I just watched the opening, the chessic equivalent of a bar room brawl. Love it!
I'm an Indian and ofcourse wanted Gukesh to win, but the end of Fabi Ian match was really really heartbreaking to watch 😢
Wow, an incredible finish to a wild tournament. Actually really looking forward to the championship now.
Man! What a game! Unreal!
Congratulations young man, Good luck.
What a game!
Great commentary and great candidates tournament.
This is a prime example of why there is no true champion unless/until Magnus decides to compete again.
Hik vs Guk.... both afraid to go for it!
guk didnt need to. Hikaru tried, but Gukesh wasn't taking the bait,.
@@dessertstorm7476 No Hikaru did most definitely not try. The Queen's gambit? Seriously? in a **must-win** with white? he could have easily created chaos from the get-go and taken both sides out of prep, and played some real chess, instead of 18 to 20 lines of computer generated "theory", which always ends in a draw.
@@zb5775 Right so for me to buy into your way of thinking,I need to accept 2 things 1. You are qualified to analyse 2 super GMs. 2. Hikaru forgot he needed a win and just gave up on the candidates at the last moment.
I need to accept BOTH of those and both are extremely unlikely. Maybe consider that creating chaos from the opening is not the only way to win a game?
Massive dunning kreuger effect + internet arrogance on display
PS i love the mute button.
@@dessertstorm7476 ^^^ 400 Elo chiming in, lol!
This game was a credit to both players,an incredible game
Great review, back to being normal. Keep it up, great video.
Ironic I’ve picked Gukesh as my favorite player even before this candidates to be honest I thought like everyone else Hikaru Nepo Fabiano these guys been there great players It would be very hard for Gukesh to win this but he’s played so consistently with Great focus and determination I’m thrilled he’s won this it was his consistency really that was tell tale unlike the other players settling for draws and being satisfied with their chances near the finish line Gukesh deserved this win Great play by Nepo drawing that game vs Fabi made me appreciate his ability as well Thanks James Good Night 😊♟️🇮🇳
how long was this game? i was in disbelief when i got on last night anf saw it was still live
Thanks for the quick turnaround
Get some sleep!
hikaru's mistake is he did settle for a draw in the game against abasov.
thats a really good point when you look back, should have taken more risk
And losing to Vidit twice for zero points, when the other top 3 picked up either 1.5 or 2 points against Vidit.
With American pride, I feel Fabi's pain.
Omg, prawn to sea ships 😂
3:28 why couldn't Fabi move rook onto e1 and pin the queen so Nepo can't capture with that pawn? Then white has 3 attackers on that one pawn with queen in front of king. ? Why is that a bad move? Anyone?
Rfe1 will be followed by O-O-O
Its not a bad move, but Bxe4 is slightly better
@@noplays2480 Yeah, I thought he could castle and move king but still... I thought at least it wins the pawn.
As Magnus noted, it's not unusual to have one side needing a draw and one side needing a win -- like Nakamura/Gukesh. But this game featured the unusual case where both sides needed a win, and this situation likely affected how black played at various points, like not playing Qc5 to trade queens.
yeah I enjoyed that comment as well, so true, what a cool game it was
This is Chess. It secretly steals from everyone, also from the big guys. And leaves all her lovers sad and beaten up behind. Some of them even insane.
If that ended itbwould of been the best quick game known🎉
@3:29 would Re1 work or am I not seeing something?
F5 solidifies blacks position
Why Fabi didnt go queen a4 with check and taken that bishop on b4?
Nc6 defending
Nepo never lost a game and had 3 wins, and it still wasn't good enough. Damn. I feel bad for Fabi. He played brilliantly early on, and even I found that qe8 move to pick up the outside passed pawn of Nepos, and I'm a low ELO scrub, so Fabi would be kicking himself now!
Cagnus Marlson 🎉🎉
The queen coming around and checking the king until the h pawn was lost was NOT a hard scheme to see. You always have to know where all your checks can come from. He probably did see it too late at a point where he could not repeat. I assume he did the first repeats to gain clock time to think, but he denied himself the move he needed when he likely saw it. It wasn't the only situation where he blew it. The h pawn could hve dropped before, but he chose to push his own pawn. He ultimately undervalued that h pawn and overvalued his passer. Classic choke situation if you ask me. You become your worst enemy in these moments.
Nepomniatchy went for a side quest of not losing even a single match in the candidates. Well, he has completed the side quest.
Good result. Fabi, Naka and Ian are way past world championship shape.
If i was fabi, i don't sleep for 6 month.. It was easy for he's standard, a tie break with gukesh = almost 80% he would win.
Same vs ding..
Can't be more heartbreaking
Caruana would likely have beaten Gukesh D.? Why?
@@mrdraw2087gukesh is not that good in short time control
@@ChristopheDepret Neither is Caruana.
@@mrdraw2087caruana still 11e en rapid and 7e en blitz Vs gukesh 50 and 57..
At 11:16 after Nd3 instead of Rb1 why not Re2?
The queen would just take the rook, if the white queen recaptures the h pawn promotes with check, and black has to block with the queen or play Ka2 which walks into Nc1+ forking the white queen.
I’m not sure sorry forget details
Re2, Qxe2, Qxe2, h1=Q+, Ka2, Nc1+ forks the queen.
Thanks, I forgot about the h pawn 😊
I know i'm not a great chess player, I'm 1000 rapid but even I saw Bishop C2 looking at that board.. Fabi really has pscyhological problems.
Caruana obviously saw that move as well, but rejected it.
Fabiano needs to tell himself one thing: He started the tournament too slow. You can't have such a bad start and only settle in in the later rounds and expect to win. You have to be consistent. Nor can you be like Ian and just be solid. So he did well to get as far as he did with the start he had.
This game will haunt Fabi for decades.
Yeah he spoke about it on c squared podcast recently
Gukesh is the iceman
I'm happy someone other than Nepo won
WOW!
Fabiano Chokuarana
Hikaru Chokamura
its worse for fabi cos atleast hikaru never had a chance this game, fabi on the other hand 😭
hehe
@@equi9317 true. He had a +5 advantage….twice..and couldn’t close the deal . Utterly inexcusable for world no. 2
@@Wargasm54 +5 dosent make it an easy win. Its very easy to look at the computer and say its winning, but having to win a ridiculously complex endgame with a minute on your clock and all the stakes and pressure makes it sooo much more difficult than it looks. Even the commentaters were struggling to understand how it could be a draw or a win at some moments. Sometimes you need to think about a position from a human point of view instead of looking at the engine all the time and criticizing world class players for finding inhuman variations.
@@equi9317he
Fantastic video as always. The craziness of this game was no surprise, but the Hikaru-Gukesh game was a shock, as in the most strange and inexplicable way, Hikaru in a *must-win* situation opens with perhaps the most drawish opening after the Four Knights game. Why would anyone do that given the high stakes? He should have created chaos and pandemonium from move one and really played for a win. That game was a draw basically from move 2 as the Queen's Gambit has been studied to death, and black usually draws 90% of the time at the elite level. Truly bizarre.
Fabi plays like Fritz used to when you set it at club strength. Plays like a 2800, makes a couple blunders, plays like a 2800 etc. sorry fans, just not good enough to climb the mountain
I was cheering for Fabi. Unfortunately, he folded like a lawn chair, multiple times with winning positions.
It was frustrating watching him finish with a DRAW.
How well nepo defended his position . If he could have attacked that well he would have beaten ding liren.going undefeated in candidates where other have loosed one or more than one game is great but the inability to attack has cost nepomeitchi his chances. For caruana it was heartbreaking . That h pawn will remain in his mind for some long time. Nakamura with white peice couldn'tfind any attacking chance against gukesh is not going well in my mind. You need someone with willingness to risk lossing the game. Super GM play is such that a draw is always on the card if both player want to play riskfree. You need someone like mikhail tal to create something.alireza poor score didn't give real value for his willingness to risk everything in order to find win. If he wanted draws he is good enough to find them.
good game
It’s different when the no. 1 isn’t there.
get over it.
Even with Magnus out, the no.2 and No.3 couldn’t close the deal. Gukesh at 17 was rock solid. He deserves the win.
audentes fortuna iuvat
In the end Ian lost it against Abusov, every other contender beat him. As worlds best devensive player he could have gone more risk especially against Abusov.
Nice
nepo is really tricky. fabii is goat
Man, FYI: I've really liked your refreshing videos, but all the endless flush of bombastic "Most Incredible" (etc.) titles have been taking a toll.
I can't open them any more. I'm jaded.
(I guess part of that style is parodying some other channels, but if it is, it doesn't seem to work for (people like) me on the long run. I also think you could grow the channel just as well with different techniques for the titles. I know it's hard though. Just try something else, anything, just make it less stuffy, so I can come back. Still love ya tho!)
Thanks I appreciate the feedback tho I thought it was for excitement!
They call me Mr. Bombastic.
🇮🇳🇨🇳 Grudge match much?
Nepo ruins everything 70 smth.
Nepo should not be playing because Russian. Also, has been a road block for a decade. Good enough to block others but not good enough to get the job done. 🤡
