Nepo in his element. Brash chess for sure. And in a classical, too!

[@slimshady6242]

This is what I was hoping from nepo to play in world championship... He's got everything to be world champion except pressure handling 😢

[@VagifMustafa]

who was the last man taking any risk in WCC match? even Tal didn't play recklessly there. And at some Sinquefield Cup you can easily afford to play risky like this

[@slimshady6242]

@@VagifMustafa you have to create chances otherwise going in endgame with magnus will surely leads to either loss or draw . Nepo at some point should have taken risk (I'm talking about 2021 championship)

[@sivanov23]

Jack Mehoff strikes again. But I love how calm and nonchalant Agad is, absolutely zero fucks given. What a legend.

[@michaeldahill]

It was a devastating attack... commentators were commenting on Nepos numerous pawn movements but this was a brilliant attack...Nepo plays chess like Mozart... he loves classical...

[@rtt1961]

Nepo with a modern (Romantic era) brilliancy.

[@Slotspinner]

@@John-p7i5g its a new game on high level chess, it was definitely played from some randoms before

[@Creek1575]

​@@Slotspinner not definitely but possibly. Just because there's a chance doesn't mean it actually happened.

[@John-p7i5g]

Amazing that Nepo calculated all the contingencies of the counter-attack at 7:00 where it could have gone horribly wrong.

[@paulrasmussen3858]

Could be Tal or Alekhine playing white...brutal attack.

[@carlkligerman1981]

Nepo is celebrated as an aggressive genius, but honestly this was so well prepped for Giri, as it relies on him playing with his characteristic solidity to spring the unstoppable attack. A beautifully violent game from big Ian! Nepo will always be my favourite, for both his style of play and the way he handled his tragic near misses for the world championship! My chess hero bar none!

[@ziqizhu7364]

Nepo playing 8 pawn moves in the first 10 moves is crazy

[@Itamaxification]

I think it was actually 9 out of 10, crazy

[@yuyue605]

​@Itamaxification yep, 10/12 moves were pawn moves, and he made 7 pawn moves in a row (between 3. Nc3 and 11. Ra2)

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

None of us could get away with that - leaving our King exposed - uncastled. Good game.

[@strooomon]

One of the better games shown this year. Thanks for making my day

[@xethnyrrow]

Nepo going, "full barbarian mode" in this game to great effect.

[@starliaghtsz8400]

I think the quick overview/summary of the game is really cool, do i to more often please!

[@shadowboy732]

wait but at 6:00 can't you just do a forced checkmate in 2? Qxh6 first to force the king to capture queen and then Rxh8 for checkmate? am i missing something?

[@AlexanderChernavin]

Rh7 defense?

[@shadowboy732]

@@AlexanderChernavin ahh you're right didn't see that one, good defense

[@Zahrul3]

Giri also lost a Nimzo Indian against Van Foreest and/or Pragnanandhaa, in Tata Steel if I remember, where he went after the doubled C pawn and ended up with a bad position instead

[@Philopantheon82]

Thanks to those brave pawns, the white king was comfortably numb until the battle ended

[@davidstubbs8896]

Everyone was so impressed at the time. Nepo played differently than any game I'd ever seen from him. Interesting was the Ra1-Ra2 lift. The game mimicked Carlsen/Fiorito in the 2nd round of the late Tilted Tuesday of Aug. 20. featuring the same pawn pawn-dominated opening and the same rook lift. Fiorito was outclassed and blundered in time trouble. Still, it's the same opening novelty, played one day later!!!

[@cloudforest4087]

The Knight as the executioner is always a devastating touch.

[@keshavsharma3245]

Nepo is the most talented player of our time. Not the strongest one but most talented definitely.

[@ILoveLuhaidan]

“A sacrifice is best refuted by accepting it” absolutely not lol

[@Narragorth]

@@dandecastro51 Yea, Peter is great.

[@GeraldM_inNC]

I didn't understand Black moving Queen-C4. She has deserted the defense of her king without having a game-winning threat to justify it. The Queen should not be galavanting to some far away place when it's obvious the opponent is preparing an all out attack on her king.

[@deadpoolgaming8161]

Incredible game!

[@Infamous_V.I.P]

Anish certainly got got in this game, however he defended for a lot longer than I thought possible. Tip: don’t let a SuperGM build up a pawn storm in front of your king.

[@michaellacy8510]

A coordinated wall of attacking pawns is terrifying.

[@Yusuf_K7]

I miss Tata Steel Anish. Last time I saw him on top was his TT win a few months ago.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I think a more appropriate Quote for this game would’ve been “ I like the moment when I can break a man’s ego” Nepo kind of humiliating Anish in this game really wild attack

[@Soberepilogue]

I don’t know about anyone else but I liked it more when he had 17-20 minute in depth videos
