    Man, tell me chess isn’t the cruellest and most beautiful mistress an unlucky man can fall in love with! Nepo is honestly an artist, and this is like an accidental masterpiece, and to be on the brink of a HAT TRICK of candidates tournaments has got to be unprecedented, surely, especially in the modern game. But O man, though a BIG fan of Nepo I have to feel for Vidit, what a heart breaking, soul crushing way to lose.

    Nepo is the master of moves that few others seemingly ever play: the "good enough" move.
    While others burn through their time looking for the best move in the current position, Nepo seems willing to play moves that may not be best, but they're not losing immediately. He manages to survive from one crisis to another but he remains ahead on the clock. Then the opponents (except for those named Magnus) are the first to make serious mistakes once they get into deep time trouble. From what I see, he's emerged with three wins and salvaged three draws that way in this tournament already.
    He reminds me of what Voltaire said, "The best is the enemy of the good."

    Thank you Agad.
    Watched the game off Lichess.
    Kinda followed near the end but definitely did not see the why of the "only move that does not lose the game" that Vidit missed.
    Perhaps he was upset by that.
    Still in the picture, in the beginning, and in the video in the end Vidit regards Nepo with respect, someone he can learn from and so its not too bad. Shaking his head in the end as if to say "cant do this" i am sure if he had the time he would have found the right move.
    Also it seems possible what the origin of the famous Magnus effect is, as "young" Magnus had a very hard time beating Nepo and eventually becoming world champion.
    Certainly upsetting, those moments when you cant tell u have an advantage.
    Anyway yes, its true anything can still happen.
    I think Nepo might not be too happy with settling for draws as we near the end of the bouts, still, could he have pushed for wins in the earlier games?
    It is certainly exciting for chess, a tight race.
    May the best player win.
    PS: Rumor: the only way Magnus will come back for the title, is if Nepo wins it.

      Right after the game when Vidit did show him h5 move Nepo told him "I misplayed it terribly". I mean he knew that he could have lost this game. Nepo didn't show it while playing of course, but after Vidit left the table it just came out pouring.

  • @user-tp3kf6wo7z
    @user-tp3kf6wo7z Месяц назад +1

    Even more powerful than the h5 pawn, was Knight d6 when the rook was guarding the d file. It would have forced a knight - bishop trade as the rook was hanging. Instead Vidit moved the rook to e1, a move that I can not comprehend but three minutes is three minutes and my brain was probably over the boiling point with only that time left and I would have probably made some other mistake. Nepo dodged every attack from Vidit and it could still have been a draw even with Vidit rook wreaking havoc behind enemy lines...

    It is hard sometimes. You work for it, you deserve to win, you get so close you can feel you are in the right path, but then your opponent gets lucky a few times, manages to survive and then you blow it up and lose. Unfortunately, not only does this happen in sport, but in life over and over.
    If you don't seize your opportunities and finish the job when you have the chance you will pay the price.

    This game reminded of some of the games between Kramnik-Kasparov in their Championship Match where the Queens were off the board and square control was of prime importance. Nepo is now like Alekhine in that, as Alekhine once said, you have to beat me in the opening, then the middlegame and then the ending. He seems to rise up to time pressure better than others in Classical play.

    Thriller of a game, in the endgame part at least.
    After the game Vidit did show Nepo the h5 move (after Rb3), he probably found it at some point after it was no longer an idea. And Nepo said "I misplayed it terribly". That was all their interaction though, not much of an analysis.
    Nepo was obviously not satisfied with his game. Ir was rather clear while he was waiting to sign the scoresheets.

    Agad, in end game, if you push the pawn to C 3, the dark square bishop would just take the pawn because the king protects the bishop.

    I watched the livestream from @9:00 on. I can't calculate at all, but intuitively I felt that it would be totally hopeless for White to attempt to defend the A and B files. I sensed such an attempt would either result in a pawn queening or the sacrifice of a piece to stop it. I was all for White going for H5 -- not because I I could calculate that this would succeed, but because I was so convinced that defending the A and B files was utterly hopeless. I guess my intuition was superior to Vidit's calculation!

    Brutal. Nepo's time management is definitely his greatest strength. With the exception of Magnus, everyone gets into time trouble against Nepo and loses games they otherwise could have won. Ding too lost games against Nepo due to time trouble in the last WC.

    My learnings from this game is that one engine line that had White winning after passing two pawns the black king can't defend from promoting. Whites only goal should've been to trade down on the queenside and then start pushing and racing pawns. I think Vidit just got too bogged down with endless calculations and the stress of playing against a competitor like Nepo.
