I think it's hard, Wesley moves are so unconventional, winning even from unpopular openings, making it hard to spot which move really triggers brilliancy... I just watched about 2 games of wesley though.. hehehe
@@mohammadyassersabtal6501 that's what makes Wesley one of my favorite players. It seems like his way of thinking goes against the grain of just about every other player in history and he has such an off-kilter style yet is still just as strong as everyone in the world besides Magnus and Fabi
The thing is, Anand already did an interview where they wnt through his 9 or 10 best moves/games, so we've seen them before. And Petrosian has a few pretty games but a lot of his best moves otherwise are his patented exchange sacrifices and prophylactic moves that the majority of this channel's audience wont appreciate.
@@joedorben3504 You're completely missing the point. It's more about entertainment. A video could easily be done on 5 top/exciting moves from the player. It doesn't literally have to be the moves the player has said nor does it have to be the best. It's more like 5 entertaining moves that make a great RUclips video.
Yeah, it would be fun to see Nepo play Magnus for the title. I believe Magnus would win (of course) but that the match would be more exciting than the matches vs Caruana and Karjakin.
@@jawcopter Im pretty sure most or all of his wins were when they were kids, and come on now, I think we all know Magnus wouldnt lose his WC title to any of the current elite players, Firouzna is the only one who has a chance of taking it from him anytime in the next 10-15 years
I was hoping he would have explained more possibilities for someone like me who’s not very good at visualising so far ahead. Say at 4:33, what happens if the black knight takes the rook instead of the queen? The white bishop will take the black bishop and after the black rook just moves aside, isn’t that still equal for both?
I love this series. Simon can be a bit much, I know :), and yeah the flashy style is not for everyone but it's in any case a neat way to get to know these players a little bit and appreciate great tactical combinations.
I think you should only show the top 5 moves of chess players that passed away or of ones that are not active anymore, because the others can add any move into these videos at any moment
I have a feeling and strongly believe so that players in the past like mikhial tal and rashmudiinov ( i dunno how to spell his name sorry) sacrificed their queens to destroy the kings protection and analyse moves ahead what their opponent would play and go on to slaughter their king.... These days mostly players sacrifice the queen to get more pieces with forks, discovered checks etc
I'm not saying he will win the candidates, but he is the most likely to actually win the title from Magnus. He has a winning record against him already

Who's here after Nepo goes through 🤩
and now nepo is winning the candidates, incredible stuff
he won
And now he's losing the WC 😅 Unfortunately bc I'm a fan.
:(
And now, Maybe he will win candidates again
again
Given this is April 1st, I thought Simon would do Ben Finegold's 5 Most Brilliant Moves and just show Ben's blunders from online games.
That would be a terrific idea, I'm disappointed this hasn't happened now.
@@ippimerawr true
Can you do Simon Williams' best moves?
You need 5 to make a video :D
@@Richard_Buurstra I'm sure 5 is quite minimal for a player as capable as he is.
@@Midnightwards666 i was joking
It went whooshing past him. An excellent joke wasted. :-)
He clearly has no 5 best moves.
He‘s made it through
You won the bet !
Officially the world chess championship challenger
2:35 omg he predicted the future !!
Nepo won and will be facing Magnus.
10:14 😱
Anybody watching after Nepo won candidates?
anyone who sees your comment is watching after Nepo won the candidate...
Show the anand top5 move
I encourage you to do a Simon William‘s best moves!! I would love it!! (Happy April fools!)
Can you do Wesley So's top moves!
I think it's hard, Wesley moves are so unconventional, winning even from unpopular openings, making it hard to spot which move really triggers brilliancy...
I just watched about 2 games of wesley though.. hehehe

Yeah Wesley Deserves a spot, pick some games from his peak years where he reached 2822 Elo
@@nethbt yeah I miss that guy
He was brilliant
10:15 damn how'd you know?
Ian won the candidates! You called it! 😁
Why didn’t you show the name of the players Nepo played against in these games ?
I agree. It also helps in retrieving the games and replay those masterpieces.
It would be too embarrassing
Yes!
@@khupmung7600 i think i would be honored to lose in such fashion to such a brilliant player
Anand's, Petrosian's, Aronian's and Lasker's best moves. Pleaseee
Hayk Sahakyan petrosian would be a great video
@@minigooshey Yep. One of the strongest tactical masters, tough it wasn't his style.

Wow all of them are some of my most favorite players
Id add Mamedyarov
The final game was against Lichao back in February 2017
Nepomniachtchi, Ian (2749) 1-0 Li, Chao (2720) Sharjah FIDE Grand Prix
Can't quite believe the beauty of this video. Wonderful job, dear Simon! Cheers from Argentina
Great commentaries as always! Keep it up, Simon!
Thanks a lot for those videos ! Now waiting for MVL best 5 moves ! Hope to meet you one day.
Thank you Simon! Also the game against Kasparov is interesting, where Nepo' s move just shocked Kasparov...
Of chess, it has been said that life is not long enough for it, but that is the fault of life, not chess.
well said
@TheGuy WhoPlaysChess thanks
commenting every chess stream just to pick new users is lame.
@@emregeylani why?
Thank You, this demonstration was lot of fun! :)
2:00 f6 Rh8
Nepo is a beast. He also has a winning record against carlsen. He's got a good chance
you're right, unfortunately he lost. I was rooting for Carlsen anyways, but still I like Nepo for his good play.
The new winner of FIDE candidates. I wish that he win Magnus. It´s time for a new champion of the word
I am big fan of nepo.... i like his moves... from INDIA🇮🇳 (kerala)
@@Kai20123 who is first?? Anand??

I loved this series please do not stop doing this

U have gotten wat uve wished for
You got what you wished for
he predicted that
NEPO THE NEXT CHALLENGER
You spelled MVL wrong!
@@amadis8892 dont underestimate the power of the russians, if nepo didnt manage to stop that french, then grischuk will take him down
Ya but Magnus will easily beat him
Joe Dorben Isnt nepo the only one among the candidates that has a positive win to lose ratio against magnus in classical games?
@@jawcopter Im pretty sure most or all of his wins were when they were kids, and come on now, I think we all know Magnus wouldnt lose his WC title to any of the current elite players, Firouzna is the only one who has a chance of taking it from him anytime in the next 10-15 years
And you said it 2 years back, and for 2 years now Nepo has been winning the candidates. Amazing prediction Simon!
can we have top five danny rench moves?
Simon 100% called it ahead of time. I wonder what his prediction will be for Nepo v Magnus.
He actually went through.
5:50 Terry Miles the boogie-woogie knight :D
it shows how deep you know chess and chess players. thanks for all your magnifique videos.
Ooh how the turntables have... turned
That’s the kinda compensation I like. I like to be a pawn up, with the compensation!!
10:15 We did heard it first ...congrats on the guess ;)
Awesome videos Simon - guessed 2/20 so far across the lot I've seen (am total crap, but super interesting nonetheless)
Yes he can, and it’s gonna happen tomorrow! Davai Nepo 💪🏻
Another great vid in this great series
You came thru with your promise! Thank you!
Is it possible to post either pgn or details on the matches wherein the moves were taken from?
I really wish you would indicate which games these moves were from (or even who the opponents were!) so we could look them up...
I was hoping he would have explained more possibilities for someone like me who’s not very good at visualising so far ahead. Say at 4:33, what happens if the black knight takes the rook instead of the queen? The white bishop will take the black bishop and after the black rook just moves aside, isn’t that still equal for both?
we heard here first!
Nepo the challenger
At 8:56 We don't even need to play Re8 as Nxh6 is already checkmate
Viswanathan Anands top 5 moves
great video. can you do your best moves, Simon? I'd love to see yours.
These are amazing thanks!
at 01:48, I wonder if Kg6 is worth a try? I know it's crazy and probably flawed, but worth considering for a moment.
I love this series. Simon can be a bit much, I know :), and yeah the flashy style is not for everyone but it's in any case a neat way to get to know these players a little bit and appreciate great tactical combinations.
Who's here after nepo won the candidates?
6:39 pin game
GM Simon 'slide along the board' Williams
6:04 D7 knight: take me and you lose, so you can’t even touch me, or else you get poison for your king or queen
If he trains his mental stamina and psychological steadiness, who can call up Carlsen as a big boy, no doubts.
Carlsen is stupid
Not yet!
Here after Nepo won the candidates. See you in November.
Nepo is my fav player currently
Wow. Great prediction!!!!
6:33 can someone explain why black bishop takes is bad?
You lose the queen (the rook takes the queen)
He already will face Magnus 😁
Simon names his pawns😍😍
You predicted the future, this is the second time Nepo wins the candidates
I think you should only show the top 5 moves of chess players that passed away or of ones that are not active anymore, because the others can add any move into these videos at any moment
HE KNEW
Magical is your beard, oh my😍
You were right.
Can you do Mikhail tal top 5 brilliant moves?
I have a feeling and strongly believe so that players in the past like mikhial tal and rashmudiinov ( i dunno how to spell his name sorry) sacrificed their queens to destroy the kings protection and analyse moves ahead what their opponent would play and go on to slaughter their king.... These days mostly players sacrifice the queen to get more pieces with forks, discovered checks etc
Rook e8 was same principle in rashids game as well
i've heard it here first! Go Nepo!
damn you were not lying Nepo vs world champion ❤️
👑 Nepomniachtchi 👑
Man love your videos!!! Just want to ask in the first exercise what if Bxh4. (Black to play)
Bxh4, Rxh4, Qxh4, Nxh4, Bxd1
I'll just play Qd3+ if you take h4 pawn with your bishop, then I'll take the bishop on next move
After Qxh4, white has Qd3+ then takes queen with Nxh4
You heard it here first, Simon called it
I'm not saying he will win the candidates, but he is the most likely to actually win the title from Magnus. He has a winning record against him already
Sir please make on Mikhail Tal 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Simon doesn't need a girlfriend. He has Harry. Harry will always be there for him in a difficult moment.
i love you! + Nepo.... & the channel !
Nd7???????? This is Sparta. That’s the best warrior in the history!
GM Simon is one of my favorite vikings
just stay at home and enjoy the amazing moves.
10:15 what happens if Bxf5
5:02 "I'm now going to show you a case of Nepo's F the LICK KNIGHTS."
we need top 5 great moves of tal
i feel like there are too many to choose from
This video aged really well.
you called it
Saw nº2, nº4 but nº5 was the one I got most right :D
Sir what's your best moves
now this is brilliant
You clearly didn’t watch his games in Prague 2016 and Latvia 2018.
555 " I like a pawn AND the compensation" ... ambitious gingergm
Nepo might win this year! 👍🏻
should have taken your betting advice. Good call.
when i saw Qh6 i gasped
Please do one on Korchnoi!
