This board after the game where you can see what the players are talking about is amazing!

Looks like the spectators thought Arjun won the game.

@Lois in ONE piece Nah bruh.... I still think when Levon started nodding his head and got his fist out , the spectators thought Arjun won the game.

IT WAS INTENSE. V happy having seen it in front of my eyes.

Sagar sir pls start a chess course for intermediate players

[@hsemarubab]

These experienced GM's like Aronian and Hikaru plays mindgames on OTB though..

[@souradeeplm10]

Even Magnus does. Many of them does. Tal smiled at Fischer which proved decisive.

[@souradeeplm10]

@@animesloversunited9069 It was their first encounter, most probably in 1959. Tal smiled at Fischer when Fischer wrote a move (which is the best move even according to engine these days). Fischer changed his mind and played an inferior move and he lost the game horribly.

[@lemuelreano7058]

Kh1 is a very big blunder move because of the move Re1+ which force to move Rf1 and then Rxf1# back rank mate

after Nd3 what if Be3.

Time stamp?

[@KunalSrivastava30]

Awesome.. 💯 😍👌

[@lemuelreano7058]

after Kf1, Nd3. If Qxd4, Re1#. Then if Rxd3, Qxa7

Covered the last square,,, is better than loosing the game

[@tmkoc-ne7bi]

at 8:41 why didnt arjun played queen to e1 i think that would have been a checkmate

[@kinjalduttachoudhury7506]

What memories!

[@yogeshbisht8682]

What a video, what a game!

[@paintbynumberjesus]

Good game, good commentary, but I was distracted by the guy in the seat between them eating a whole meal out of his nose.

[@UrMyAngel18]

When Arjun captured room everyone started shouting and clapping. This is how we cheer for our players despite stalemate 😂

[@RamachandranS20]

what is the location?

[@godugudanunjay3774]

7 months ago they wore same shirt and suit ha !?

[@essamapatrick9068]

Draw game but very intense

[@rizanomurni6291]

In the end game, Arjun make a big blunder, he can bring his rook to back, and I think the play was't draw...

[@ij_1243]

When doctor advised you to stretch your body after 10 to 15 minutes but you heard every 10 to 15 seconds 😅

stalemate!

Both are left handed intrsting

[@Aditya201194]

Did Nepo ever talk to youngsters this way after his games?

[@RandomGuy-ys1hs]

Why does it matter tho?

[@Aditya201194]

@@RandomGuy-ys1hs It doesn't, but I was just watching Arjun videos last couple of days and came across a video where he was playing Nepo. After the match it felt like Arjun wanted to discuss the game but he just left shrugging it off. I might be wrong. But if he really ignored Arjun, I felt he was being disrespectful there.

[@cryptopawn4808]

Nepo was extremely arrogant until last wcc where he was crushed by the GOAT 😂
