The composure of Gukesh is insane. Waiting until 6 seconds on the clock to move shows his nerves of steel

[@u.v.s.5583]

He was not born yesterday, except that he literally was.

[@CakeEatingBear]

No one deserves to win the Candidates more than this guy!

[@calvinooi1407]

If you think this was impressive, imagine if it was Gukesh A

[@samarthbagwe1736]

Gukesh A would crush Magneto

[@SimBol1216]

​@user-SkmBeats Can you imagine the world championship if it's Gukesh? Two Asians facing off 😂

[@coosoorlog]

Gukesh is 17 years old. 17. And with nerves of steel. The level of zen is off the charts. This tournament has been long and arduous with maximum pressure all the time. It's amazing that you can be a young lion with all the edge and yet so calm and collected throughout. amazing. no wonder he's such a super star in his home country.

[@harshitchauhan2411]

If you wanna win the Candidates.... You gotta have nerves of steel like this!!!! One more round of insanity incoming!!!

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Gukesh has exceeded all expectations people should give him his props already he’s had the best tournament so far 8.5 Better than the rest of the field Keep sleeping on him he definitely could be the Winner of 2024 Candidates and Go On to become Fide World Champion I Really Hope He Does 😊🇮🇳♟️❤️

[@caasiking7527]

Good job to Gukesh. He has way above 50% chance of winning the candidates now.

[@FMDD168]

No, about 40 percent. Fabi won , and both Americans can catch or overtake.

[@AcousticJamesSGP]

How did you work that one out then? He's black vs Hikaru for the final round and Fabi has white vs Ian.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Bro Gukesh is exceeding all expectations I think he can win even with Black and draw would probably be sufficient I want to see him Win Go Gukesh 😊🇮🇳♟️❤️

[@NovelTuber]

​@@AcousticJamesSGPdraw in both matches and Gukesh wins

[@blender_wiki]

Mhh no, your understanding of statistics must be below zero.

[@Maywek]

This candidates is the most stressed I’ve ever felt about a chess tournament. I have zero idea what will happen tomorrow with Gukesh having black

[@HelloWorld12347]

Hikaru will go all in...gukesh just needs to hold him and wait for the blunder

[@dhareppasavalagi9879]

Just 17 year finally matter accuracy.......gukesh if experience then everyone opposite to them

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Props to Alireza as well this tournament is important he’s struggled but he’ll be back people see a player struggle they are ready to dump on them so disrespectful and wrong Alireza is a talented player he will have his day to shine eventually again

[@austinvillanueva7491]

Yeah for sure. He struggled on this tournament and I believe he will be back much stronger next time. Hoping to see him again on next candidates .

[@username_PK]

His days are over... There are many youngsters in US better than him.

[@FurEliseFlamenco]

The problem for Alireza is this performance combined with how he maneuvered his way into the tournament. He brought it on himself.

[@fletcherfarris4350]

@@username_PKyou trippin jit, I’m American, I love what the future of US chess looks like, that doesn’t mean we have to dog on this super gm that had a tough tournament against 6 other super gm’s (sorry nijat) he can easily be back dude is still so young

[@alphastorm88]

He will never be at the top. His family is toxic as f

[@mohammedaslamm4730]

From the beginning I was thinking of only one Indian makes its only Gukesh.

Rooting for GUKESH !!!!! 🇮🇳😭😭😭

[@darthvader6109]

Very nicely done gukesh..lots of love and luck for for upcoming games

gukesh playing naka last round

[@ishaanrohmetra3447]

@@mikejulz87 if gukesh draws with naka, then nepo and fabi needs to draw, if gukesh wins, then the result of other match will not matter. and if gukesh draws or loose, and other nepo fabi results in decisive victory , then gukesh is out.

[@Kunal29Chopra]

​@@ishaanrohmetra3447 Can't Gukesh draw and still be in? Because then he'll have to play against the winner between Fabi and Nepo in a tiebreaker, and if Fabi and Nepo draw too, Gukesh will win automatically?

[@ishaanrohmetra3447]

@@Kunal29Chopra thats what i am saying. If gukesh draws, fabi nepo should also draw to keep gukesh as sole leader.

[@mikejulz87]

@ishaanrohmetra3447 that's why Hikaru will go the win..

[@prakharsrivastava7166]

May be Magnus who demonstrated this level of composure at this level…. Gukesh on 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lOmaine777]

at this age as well!

This video will be remembered in the history of chess

[@vegas_nanto9505]

Gukay sh earned 19.6 ratings in candidates and is now 2762 top 5

[@kaviwardhman]

Best chess commentary duo in the world!

[@peehline]

Firouzja wasn't supposed to deliver this match, he made all his shots in a short amount of time, won extra time and made mistakes. Come on, Nepo, I'm still confident!!!!! Tomorrow will be a rollercoaster of emotions...

[@sg763zero]

After 41 games, nepo is at 2nd place, finally

[@samarthbagwe1736]

Nepo will lose I believe

[@username_PK]

Nepo don't deserve to be in candidates he areadhad in chances in candidates, now it's time for someone new.

[@srikrishnarr6553]

Meantime magnus mind voice " i should stop giving predictions from bow on"

[@u.v.s.5583]

Not if Nakamura and Caruana play playoffs. Which is still entirely possible.

[@CR1M3OFFICIAL]

Naaaah bro imagine Gukesh winning the WCC. Man I would be very happy

[@aryatripathi4833]

What an outstanding match😮❤🔥🧠

Alireza once again proved he shouldn't be in Toronto. Gukesh save an apparently compromised game with nerves of steel, very impressive for a man of his age.

[@napoleonarrieta4663]

Alireza & Abasov should not have been in the candidates.. Fide format needs really a change..for example : Top 5 SGM with the highest Elo rating after December or January automatic seeded & # 6 to 10 who wins the Grand Chess tour, Tata Steel & World Cup would make the last 3 slots of the candidates

[@24naonithkrao76]

Grand chess tour ?? Really ?? LMAO. the grand swiss and fide circuit is a very good way to choose the candidates and 10 players is too much

[@proxima713]

Alireza was literally #4 before the starting of this tournament and Gukesh was like #14 and Ian was #9 ……ratings aren’t the correct way to decide who deserves the candidates spot …..the current format is already pretty good.

No absolutely not

Alireza gets -50 incoming next month

[@u.v.s.5583]

Not to worry about. Nothing that a quick high level local tournament can't fix.
