He looks considerably worse than before the tournament, he is such a nice guy, he shouldn't suffer like this

[@karabokayak5785]

This is why the format should change for the candidates. So and Anish were more deserving.he came 4th in once of tournament.

[@Carnifier]

@@karabokayak5785 Please not them. The reason this one was interesting was because they were not there. Maybe Anish is overexaggerated, but not So. Absolute drawmachine.

His voice has too much pain

[@zeroefforts_1]

Gained experience! Will help him in coming tournaments. Rock.

[@adfadf32342]

GM Abasov earned his spot to play in the candidates tournament and I wish him the best for his future. Yes, it was a harsh tournament for him but I hope he learned a lot for his career and he can come back stronger in the future!

[@madeleinewalker838]

This channel should invite him to do commentary or something with them sometime. Because even he had a really bad tournament he has shown to a lot of us what a cool guy he is and I definitely hope he has more success in the future.

[@sunnybansode509]

Men like him overcome the defeats that's the character of true man and he will come back stronger

remember just losing to the big guys still makes you better than most

Impressive young man, shows his character in difficult situations.

[@David_7171]

The qualifying process for the candidates needs to be amended. Poor guy

[@asimmishra2764]

He didn't qualify directly.... Magnus rejected the invitation of fide to participate in candidates and Nijat was semifinalist of World Cup so he got qualified automatically

[@advaitshankar3668]

In chess world cup, he defeated super GMs including Anish Giri, Peter svidler and Vidit . He isn't here by god's grace or FIDE invite! Stop degrading him , he has earned his spot at the candidates!!

Special salute to all the indian players as this was the first time we had 5 players playing candidates from 1 last time .Huge moment for Indian chess

Wjy do they ask questions like "how do you feel".... it's such a personal question and it also adds insult to injury....

Feels bad for him seeing like this... Cheer up mate

[@devanshupadhyay2658]

Feeling bad for Nijat, in life you give everything but there will be someone better than you, well don't stop keep grinding and enjoy life, kyunki kya fayada aise tension karke. Well played Nijat.

[@jramkumarpatnaik2877]

Felt for him. Very tough to loose so many matches

[@itsabi97]

I'm sure he will comeback stronger

[@LaggardInLove]

Chess players are a class apart, wish them all the best!

[@Midwesterner223]

In the end, Nijat did hold Nepo to a draw with the black pieces. That did end up becoming important in the final outcome.

[@omgupta8859]

❤❤❤

[@Robinforsure]

And pragg defeated him 💀

[@ashwinoashwin]

He earned his spot! Period! This will only make him stronger! It was amazing to see him hold his own against players rated 100 points over him!

[@ashwinoashwin]

Curious to know what his rating is today.

[@kshunya]

more than being happy for gukesh, am more upset for players like abasov, alireza, ian and all

[@sourabhjain9030]

The difference between 2650-2720 is just insanr he just looks like chicken in the den

[@kunalsingh4418]

Yeah. But weirdly even Alireza felt like that. Both Nijat and Alireza were punching bags for the big guys.

[@sourabhjain9030]

@@kunalsingh4418 his case is different I think he just lost his motivation for chess

[@v.k.sharma9240]

Alireza cheated to enter in this tournament, he was not performing well overall since 2022 but he and his country team conducted a separate tournament with very low level players like 2200 or 2300 related Players to gain more rating so he can enter in candidate now karma hits back and he is suffering@@kunalsingh4418

[@Corteum]

How do players get invited to the candidates? Were there no other 2700's that wanted to participate?

[@SahilSinha7]

They can't come and play the candidates on their choice brother , every single chess player wants to play the candidates (expect magnus now) They are qualified by different ways. World cup top 3 , fide circuit, grand Swiss and runnersup of previous world championship match

[@Corteum]

@@SahilSinha7 So how does a 2500 or 2600 player qualify for it when they cant really compete on that level ?

[@giteshaherrao2894]

@@Corteum in worldcup 2023 magnus refused to claim his spot to tournament so it was given to nijat who finished 4th in that tournament vidhit was behind him in that so clearly nijat had the thing its just he was overwhelmed with the pressure
