      @@gus8696please don’t compare Nepo with Dubov, Rapport and Alireza. Nepo in every other tournament except Candidates plays conventional chess (not dull). The reason is when you 2750+ people expect you to be inventive. Players like Nodirbek or Parham or Keymer or Vidit (recently) have gained audience because they play different lines. Offcourse no one can be as crazy as Alireza, Rapport or Dubov in a good way but still.

    Hi Fabi, I just wanted to say you were the reason I got into chess. More than the magic you have produced on the board, it was the way you conducted yourself outside those 64 squares that resonated with me deeply. The manner in which you handle pressure and disappointment with the same poise and respect you would show in a victory is inspiring. I hope you continue to inspire and raise the bar for what it takes to be a professional , and hope you bounce back stronger at the next candidates, rooting for you all the way! Cheers from India

    The discussion about closed vs open tournaments is very interesting. I agree with Fabi that people mostly use this as un excuse to justify poor performance or criticize players they don't like. That being said, the Elo system only gives meaningful ratings if there is a single pool of players. If there are multiple pools, as in if there are a top x number of players who only play each other and never play anyone else, then their ratings demonstrate their strength relative to each other and not the general population. An extreme example of this was Claude Bloodgood, who achieved an extremely high rating by organizing his own closed pool of participants.

    • @CA-oe1ok
      @CA-oe1ok Месяц назад +2

      Agreed. Also to do differential analysis, the FIDE circuit qualification is one spot. So, instead of lets say the fourth place from a world cup qualifying, you have this. A player performing consistently well in Open tournaments qualifies. Nothing changes.

    It was the most exciting tournament I've seen. I was almost certain that Caruana would win the last game after a big advantage:
    After move 24: +2.7
    After move 28: +2.9
    After move 29: +3.0
    After move 32: +3.6
    After move 37: +3.9
    After move 62: +4.4

    As it happens often Fabi has a very rational approach. Yes you can game the ElO system, you cna enter invitation tournaments and play for draws until you reach some level, or you can go and play against a bunch of weak players, but both strategies will help you so far. By nature, it will lead to a ceiling. Anything we know of can be tampered with. Even so it seems that by far Fabi's proposal is the best we have. Perfect is the enemy of good, and keeping the awful way because the other good proposals are not perfect is nonsense.

    Really interesting to hear Fabi's views here. One thing though that I'm increasingly finding hard to understand is the concept that if it went to tie-breaks then Fabi or Nepo would be "favourites". Only in the sense of Elo rating though, which was built up in the past. The fact is though, at the point of tie-breaks we've just had 14 rounds between the eight candidates. Unless you've been comprehensively beaten by your tie-break opponent, within those 14 rounds, there is no favourite.

    Gukesh played so consistently throughout the candidates was a key difference between him and others that had a possible chance to win in that last round it was an exciting event I think the moral for the other players will be do not wait until the last rounds to go for wins maybe take more chances early on the draws did not cut it

    does anyone know why Norway Chess is part of the 2024 FIDE circuit? Wikipedia says that it will feature 6 players but I thought to be part of the 2024 FIDE circuit you had to feature at least 8 players?

    Ding could play to force tiebreaks because I think he is a bigger favorite in Rapid and even bigger in blitz

    • @Ancz7

      Magnus and Vishy were pretty conservative in their defences. ig Gukesh and Ding are too agressive for tiebreaks.

    Hi Fabi, I was never the biggest chess fan in the world, but do like to keep up with what is going on in the big tournaments - particularly the world championship. Doing so in 2021 and listening to your commentary is what made me take a greater interest in the game and your career in particular.
    Irrespective of what you achieve going forward in the game (and I believe the sky is still your limit), I just want to say that the way you carry yourself is inspirational. You always present as a calm, approachable and consummate professional, and I find myself thinking of things I have heard from you through my day to day.
    Since becoming a fan of yours, I have befallen some hard times in my life, but looking at the example and attitude set by you (and Alexander Volkanovski) in the face of hardship has helped me process my difficulties and move forward in a productive way every time. Thank you so much Fabiano, you are a great man

    Was a tough tourney for fabi, yet he was still competing for the spot at the end. Just too many missed opportunities left on the table. Had a feeling it would end up a battle between Nepo and gukesh in the end.
    Gukesh really was the best player at the event this time around. Solid play in every round. He definitely deserves to face ding!

    First, Congratulations for a very good performance in candidates.
    Now, "THE JOURNEY CONTINUES".
    And second,
    I agree with Fabiano.......
    Candidates should be selected from rating list, with 6 months/1year avg rating being considered and minimum 50 games or so.
    The tournaments should be registered with Fide before 3 months of being organised, to avoid players organising last moment tournament.
    if they do so then the rating gains in that particular tournament should not be considered while considering candidates selection.

  • @nilsp9426
    @nilsp9426 Месяц назад +1

    I like the idea to use rating for candidate spots. Why not give 4 spots for highest average rating over 1 year. For the other 4 spots invite the next 12 or so contenders to play a round-robin tournament with the first 4 places advancing. So many other sports have very successfully used a play-in stage before big tournaments. If you want to argue that someone #18 in the world by rating (or below) should definitely be in the candidates, good luck with your argument. And if you don't like the historical impact on rating, use rating performance over the last 50 games or so.
