GM Rauf Mamedov - GM Ian Nepomniachtchi chess blitz

Aeroflon open 2018 chess blitz

[@Kk-fj5tn]

That first game was a masterclass in defeating The Dragon...

[@marclang919]

Excellent coverage, it was fun to watch this and all the other Aeroflot videos. Great work!

[@admirimismaili1874]

well played nepo 1st game

[@hassadabbass4678]

Well Played

[@VeloTerminator]

в первой партии Янчик уверенно выкатал вариант дракона

[@user-wm9ip4ep6l]

На фоне Мамедова, он бы мог выкатить хоть гамбит Морро, хоть славянскую защиту или же английского ежа, все равно бы выйграл)

[@joshuaguo1326]

Should have taken the perp at 12:16 with Bg4-f3-g4, with only 8 sec vs. 1 min 30 and lost badly in the first game that's what I would have done

[@pianopro9]

Would've lost the match though. Might as well go all out!

[@katox5768]

True, forcing a draw was best considering time pressure

[@lugas2267]

nepo is a beast

[@tangiskerinduan172]

Thats a yugoslav attack? In first match

[@07aniketdeysarkar26]

Is it mandatory for a player to keep at least one chess piece in his left hand while he figures out his next move ?

[@swamiabhedananda4147]

Aniket Dey Sarkar Lol not at all.

[@07aniketdeysarkar26]

@@swamiabhedananda4147 Just joking 😛

[@tandoellius8603]

2:32 why mamedov not take the pawn e5 with knight?

[@Ar1kanium]

Mate threat is stronger

[@stevealien6162]

Ian is so strong

[@z17seattle]

Nepo looks so confident at start of game

[@chessbrilliance8783]

z17seattle as usual until he get's crushed by caryakin or magnus.

[@masonhollander5149]

chess brillancie Magnus has never beaten him. Nepo is more talented

[@scsaintaiwan]

Well you are right, Magnus hasn't beaten Ian yet, but talent turned out less significant than the will to win, just as Alekhine beat Jose Capablanca in 1927, and Capa was known the most talented, the real genius out of all his contemporaries. A player with large potential should fight his way up to the top, but what I see is that Ian seldom takes part in very competitive tournaments, and therefore he never breaks the 2770 barrier, not to mention the 2800, the highest level a player can entrance. He is less ambitious than Magnus, and looks like he enjoys playing chess and gains happiness out of it; in comparison, Magnus strives for every win, he knows he'll have to play to win to remain as a 2800, and this is why Magnus has been the highest rated player for more than 7 years. When Ian loses, he may not care that much like Magnus does, and this marks down the biggest difference between these two. Last, if you are to predict who would win in a 12-game match, whom would you place your money on? The more talented Nepomniachtchi? or the world champion Magnus Carlsen?

[@gspcro9047]

The QueenSweeper 100% agree. Nepo is crazy talented, but he lacks the drive compared to Magnus.

[@boblegend1803]

At 7:06 Rauf moves e5 like mestake,but I can't see what he must to play?

[@boblegend1803]

@D Solari Mr Solari , are you joke me? Its not move (Bg5) that he reacted at this way!

[@boblegend1803]

@D Solari Ok, but I think that his behave is like he miss big chanse ( look again at 7:06)

[@boblegend1803]

@D Solari Look.I think that my english is not good to mutch and becouse of that you dont understand me.I will try to explane this : Rauf think at 6:36 to 7:06 and play e5.In that moment his reacted is :" o my gad! e5 is mestake, instead of e5, I must to play anather move....

[@boblegend1803]

@D Solari I agree with you about e6 and Nf4.Greeting!

[@rustamdj979]

[@lucafranceschino9767]

Nepomniatchi very fat

[@DrJens-pn5qk]

Is the Dragon really that bad?

[@MichaelNeuss]

YES

[@jacekstachanczyk3794]

No. Dragon is equal, but difficult in practical game.

[@Kk-fj5tn]

Yep. Especially against an opponent that was that familiar with it. Nepo clearly knows its weaknesses in and out. It was a masterclass...

[@marco-spacetv3734]

more easy for Nepo!!

[@rustamdj979]
