Dubov's Phenomenal opening preparation leaves Nepomniachtchi clueless | World Blitz 2022

There was some tension in the air between Nepo and Dubov after Nepo played a World Championship match against Carlsen and Dubov helped the Norwegian. But that tension seems to have been resolved as you can see from the initial moments in the video where Nepo and Dubov are speaking with each other with great camaraderie.
However, over the board it's a big fight as Dubov plays the opening very quickly, while Nepo tries to figure his way. Dubov's ...Rd8! is a new move and by this point Nepo is down to a minute as compared to Dubov who hasn't gone down below 3. It's a game from which you will learn a lot not only about opening, but about attack and finishing off your opponent.

He was smiling through a big par of the match, I wonder what was so funny that he told to Daniil before the match started.

[@snarkyboojum]

Nepomniachtchi looking for feedback on Dubov's face and body language from early in the game shows he's unsure of the moves he's making in relation to Dubov. Dubov doesn't seem concerned at all. Very interesting dynamic in this game.

[@thembadube9589]

There's something about Nepo that just makes you like him as a person. No doubt he was a very hurt that Dubov helped Carlsen in that match, but he can still share a light moment with him; with a genuine smile, no less. So, in the upcoming Nepo-Ding duel I will root for ... no, I will be neutral.

I feel the only Player in our generation who can really challenge Magnus for the World championship, Due to the fact that he helped Magnus During his World Championship Match.. Unless, Of course Excluding the emerging Youngsters.

[@ilikefrogs4291]

Dubov is a great player and my favourite living player. however, there is no way he could take the title from magnus.

[@SeoFam01]

LMAO stop dreaming, Dubov is a very creative player. But he is light years behind Magnus. Not to mentions, Magnus had a team in the WC prep.

[@hdmotivated]

Also not to mention dubov style is less effective in classical...

[@hunterhunter5998]

Magnus vacated his title but even if he didn't, stylistically you need someone who's very gifted with tactical motifs and geometry to beat him (that's where Magnus makes the most mistakes). Dubov has that but I'm not sure his opening repertoire is disciplined enough for long time controls. Like you said, there are a few teenagers coming up who have the style and repertoire to potentially beat Magnus but they need time and experience before they're ready for a world championship match (iirc youngest world champion was Kasparov at 22/23)

[@vegapunk172]

Stop using drugs man. Delusional

[@smashu2]

I love to see in blitz you can easily tell where each player prep ended and after a3 Dubov as out of prep lol 🤣

He already got what he needed at that stage. It's Nepo who was out of prep in the opening.

Ian tried to capture his queen using dubov's pawn 😂

[@naveenraja1641]

Still Its bizarre to catch the moves at 6.05 , why Dubo didn't move bishop to give a check to win a queen as queen is pinned by black rook.. this shows the pressure under time 🤣

[@anirudhkashyap23]

dubovs preparation is unmatched

[@barnabasszabolcs8708]

@3:40 Qf3 would've sidestepped the bind by the rook and held the position. Instead, Nepo rerouted Dubov's bishop to a better diagonal

[@babaevdavid8534]

Nd4 feels threatening, perhaps?

[@tilburg013ful]

What do they talk about in the beginning?

[@Yin-Yang-Dichotomy]

Chess moves.

[@MarkBlakeney]

Can somebody please explain why Dubov takes the bishop on c6 at 6:04 rather than Bxf2+ winning the queen? And then in the next move why doesn't Nepo move queen to e2 (rather than d2) to save the knight?

[@david.mariano]

Bxf2+ and then Rxf2, white is winning… (Bxf2+ Rxf2 Rxd1+ Rxd1 Qxe4)

[@david.mariano]

and then in the next move Nepo should have played Qd3 there (Dubov cant take Nepo’s rook in a1 because there is mate in 1 hanging) if Nepo played Qd2, rook is hanging Basically, Nepo blundered his knight there

[@GeoffFClark]

Bxf2+ then Rxf2. Threatening to take Black’s queen in return with an extra bishop for pawn exchange. There would also be a checkmate threat on d8 if Black blunders and takes the knight on e4
