Yeah now that there’s a point difference, we suddenly see how terrible it is for Nepo that these players draw against each other so easily. If he wants that point back, he’s gonna need to pull off something impressive.
All Magnus needs to keep doing is maintaining the draw till the end! He is the world champion he knows best I know he is sharp and smart Once he spots a winning combination he will go for it
Sure Nepo will come out with the full Fried Liver in game 9 lol, but can't blame him for playing safe today, after yesterday. Was kind of expecting it really...
Nepo seems too timid to deviate from the original game plan, but it doesn't seem like it will work him. I guess it's difficult when playing against Magnus since you have to be very sure that you can convert a gambit into a win, easier said than done.
He was just defeated yesterday in the longest game ever. It wouldn’t be smart to try anything risky the day after. He’s prob waiting for the free day to come up with something with his tean

If Ian wants to win this, he’s going to have to try something different.
Thanks for the great analysis!

Drawls?
So players only face on opponent in this tournament? Wouldn't it be better if they played against more people?
They did that to determine who gets to play Magnus for the championship. (Candidates Tournament)
I'm sorry Nepo, but in the second half there will be no way around the Jerome if you want to catch up to Carlsen.

Hi
a nice game!
What the hell was that lol. Nepo has just played to conservatively the whole tournament.

I would make them play again.
Wow, very boring game.
