Without Magnus Carlsen Vishy would have still given all the GMs a run for their money and would have had 7 or 8 Championship titles.. But since Magnus is from another planet, our Tiger left the active chess play since he doesnt like to be second to anyone

19.42 , why he moved his king instead of saving knight .

[@revanth2628]

He freed up a square for the pawn to move forward.. white cannot waste a tempo by capturing the knight as a queen will come on the board.

Time stamp 14.44, I don’t understand why Black King didn’t take white knight. Can someone explain ? Black would have got a better trade there!

[@bikramhazarika6636]

It would leads to open up the position, also both night is defending the black king, i guess

[@fastAf399]

Because his position would be open and it's hard to defend the pawns that way

[@nikilmaggavi6261]

@@bikramhazarika6636 but with that there would be a trade and exchange of bishop and knight and black would have been at a better position.

[@arvindmehra1376]

Because white rook eats up black knight with a tempo on king. Cornering the black king on upper left. It might seem like a fork with blacks knight is available but black can't do so because of constant checks by white rook on 7th row.

[@TravelwithNikhilRoshan]

One thing is very clear from this game...... No matter how good you are at something "Patience and Luck" is the most important factor that makes the difference between two equally skilled ppl

[@dipayanbairagi616]

Nepo is known for his self destruction mode. Part of it comes from his less focus on defense and putting all his energy into attacking. You will often find him devising an unforeseen attack and I think he has issues of focus in longer time controls that's why you will find him making fast moves later on the game. In the world championship matches against carlsen Ian was mostly lost due to his own mistakes.

[@saritanijapkar9744]

[@vinothv56]

Nepo is someone who can play a super GM move to be in winning position and suddenly play a novice move as well to surrender the match. Ding and Carlsen knows!
