[@menpower1]

The start of a beautiful rivalry perhaps? I can't wait for Firouzja and Pragg to form the new generation of super GMs

[@mzmzmm7879]

Ali Reza needs to improve on his end games. He loses on winning positions once the key pieces gets exchanged. Somehow his position immediately becomes weak after exchange. Pragg has a terrific end game and a very strong positional player. This is a great era for chess with such a lot of latent coming thru.

[@Pope_Balenciaga]

Thanks for the tip yo! - Alireza

[@NutSamrat]

I hope he improves from this vital enlightenment.

[@UnknownUser-j3n]

It seems he still hasnt learned basic endings. Saw him lose an elementary rook endgame to Hikaru, may be in the candidates, also to Ju Wenjun may be.

[@Voyleglover]

Has Pragg memorized thousands of machine moves? Pretty incredible stability. He is one amazing player.

[@grahampawar]

[@oddsends6048]

I'm a crappy chess player but I've been watching your incredible coverage of fantastic games for years and I am learning. Something snapped in my mind today as I watch this attack/defend exchange between these great players. The depth of play is beyond me but would you... or the engine.. be able to provide a deeper insight into the thinking of the course of play. Perhaps many moves in advance. Your analysis is typically one, two or three moves in advance. Yes, I know, it would be a "master class" that may extend to an hour or more but it might help to deepen insight on how far ahead world class players think and could provide some insight into selecting a course of play - understanding that this is a fluid game. This slightly altered approach might help those of us who are challenged on either one of right brain or left brain thinking.

[@danielgagnon4730]

It's incredible how many times I've seen Alireza having a winning position to at worst making it a draw and then all of a sudden having end game losing positions.
