Why is Alexei Shirov under so much stress?

Alexei Shirov is one of the absolute legends of chess. In fact his opening preparation and memory are considered to be outstanding. But in the modern era when younger GMs come prepared with lines, it becomes extremely difficult for a player like Shirov to keep up. Check out how stressed he is as he tries to recollect a line against GM Samvel Ter-Sahakyan from round 7 of the FIDE Grand Swiss 2023.

Shirov: There's a spider on the floor. I wonder if any chess player would accidentally step on it.

[@santoshpal-tj4vt]

Hans be like : I think he is speaking himself.

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

Bravo to Shirov the lion of chess!

[@AntonStachSZN]

Always nice to see Hans

[@Jaso839]

Just to make things worse Niemann decides to show up. Shirov has a hard life.

[@chriscross1424]

Lol Hans just can't help it he always has that creepy villain vibe

[@rahuldutta7930]

Sagar bhai one of the best edit so far,

[@venkatraghu5696]

Like Hans behavior at 00:20

[@stagna1959]

After queen trade white kingside pawn majority ( 4 against 1 )looks very threatening, it is not sure that black can deal with it even if Shirov gives his extra knight back

[@abhinavgupta7013]

Kehne ko silence hai kitna background noise hai bhai😂

[@stepbro5387]

Are people allowed to talk during an tournament?

[@srikanthtupurani6316]

Chess board is in his brain. If we take a brain scan of top chess players we see lot of connections not found in normal players.

[@stagna1959]

And here we go. 3 connected white passers way stronger than one black knight

[@gabraham12]

Why do Gen X chess players look so old?

[@stagna1959]

Shirov resigned .

[@xerxese191]

Chessplayers NEVER used to do this. It's a bad habit adopted en masse just like twirling the Chess pieces which was NEVER done twenty years ago. It's PROOF that Human Beings are nothing more than automatons. 😒

[@luatala8008]

Shirov and most well known player Ivanchuk only really does this. The rest play “normal”

[@CleoPatra-p9m]

i look hans just like i look villain on chess 😂
