      Ian will be tough to beat because he wins games, frankly. Maybe his chance of losing a game is higher than Fabi's chance, but Ian's chance of winning a game is quite a bit higher than Fabi's. Fabi has only won one game, and the position was nearly equal

    • @renatozeru
      @renatozeru Před měsícem +13

      Fabi could've well won against Naka and Gukesh - he let the games slip at a certain point. But it's clear he is always the one putting pressure for a win against any opponent, and if he finds the rhythm, he will win games. On the other hand, he's the only one who can finish the tournament undefeated. The man is just too hard to break. Nepo is very dangerous (well prepared and experienced), but he's unstable and might well lose a couple of game in a bad streak.

    i LOVE how Levy lets the other person talk. I have never once see him take the talking stage away from anyone. As normal as that sounds, a lot of interviews get lost because of overtalking or cutting the other person off. This is chill, smart and insightful. Wonderful job, Levy. Huge respect. Ian, kudos and all the best. Bring it home!

    I agree on what Ian said regarding when he didn't know much opening, and played more intuitively...
    It happened to me as well when I was young (didn't play chess for like 12 years until 2 years ago), I think I was much better compared to now (know a bit opening, and play more solidly compared to before) but I realised I think my younger self played much better (sharper and more precise) compared to now (where I often blunder, almost never blunder when I was young)
    Btw, from the interview, Nepo looks like the genius who doesn't need to study much but still ace the test 😂
    Definitely a role figure (for me) in chess!!

    Hey Gotham! Congrats on the big interview! Great job! If you could do anything to improve I would suggest being more direct in your questioning so there isn't a ramble of him just talking. For example you asked the difference between first and 2nd candidates, that's pretty open ended and he went on and on . Instead you could have asked about his first candidates and more specifically most difficult opponents, specific positions. Then switch to 2nd... then ask about a comparison.. also, some opening questioning about how they got started in chess, their favorite foods, how much time do they spend preparing for the candidates? Does he have any special regimes when training for chess matches? He spoke a little about it but we really could have gotten a better look into how much they prepare. Need any help reach out!
