Who's here after Nepo goes through 🤩

[@maciekGTR]

and now nepo is winning the candidates, incredible stuff

[@thiagom.3853]

he won

[@ClarkPotter]

And now he's losing the WC 😅 Unfortunately bc I'm a fan.

[@oni8337]

:(

[@naufal_baedlawi]

And now, Maybe he will win candidates again

[@emilerhard4189]

again

[@agentm10]

Given this is April 1st, I thought Simon would do Ben Finegold's 5 Most Brilliant Moves and just show Ben's blunders from online games.

[@ippimerawr]

That would be a terrific idea, I'm disappointed this hasn't happened now.

[@Midnightwards666]

Can you do Simon Williams' best moves?

[@Richard_Buurstra]

You need 5 to make a video :D

[@Midnightwards666]

@@Richard_Buurstra I'm sure 5 is quite minimal for a player as capable as he is.

[@Richard_Buurstra]

@@Midnightwards666 i was joking

[@yesicanhearyouclemfandango]

It went whooshing past him. An excellent joke wasted. :-)

[@romanmueller3479]

He clearly has no 5 best moves.

10:15 damn how'd you know?

[@kurtzipagan6704]

Can you do Wesley So's top moves!

[@mohammadyassersabtal6501]

I think it's hard, Wesley moves are so unconventional, winning even from unpopular openings, making it hard to spot which move really triggers brilliancy... I just watched about 2 games of wesley though.. hehehe

[@joedorben3504]

@@mohammadyassersabtal6501 that's what makes Wesley one of my favorite players. It seems like his way of thinking goes against the grain of just about every other player in history and he has such an off-kilter style yet is still just as strong as everyone in the world besides Magnus and Fabi

[@nethbt]

Yeah Wesley Deserves a spot, pick some games from his peak years where he reached 2822 Elo

[@Phurngirathaana]

@@nethbt yeah I miss that guy He was brilliant

[@cklester]

Ian won the candidates! You called it! 😁

[@adityavv96]

Why didn’t you show the name of the players Nepo played against in these games ?

[@eatherquake8107]

I agree. It also helps in retrieving the games and replay those masterpieces.

[@khupmung7600]

It would be too embarrassing

[@3alexander3]

Yes!

[@ultimatedoug2227]

@@khupmung7600 i think i would be honored to lose in such fashion to such a brilliant player

[@Haykeloff]

Anand's, Petrosian's, Aronian's and Lasker's best moves. Pleaseee

[@minigooshey]

Hayk Sahakyan petrosian would be a great video

[@Haykeloff]

@@minigooshey Yep. One of the strongest tactical masters, tough it wasn't his style.

[@joedorben3504]

The thing is, Anand already did an interview where they wnt through his 9 or 10 best moves/games, so we've seen them before. And Petrosian has a few pretty games but a lot of his best moves otherwise are his patented exchange sacrifices and prophylactic moves that the majority of this channel's audience wont appreciate.

[@SuperYtc1]

@@joedorben3504 You're completely missing the point. It's more about entertainment. A video could easily be done on 5 top/exciting moves from the player. It doesn't literally have to be the moves the player has said nor does it have to be the best. It's more like 5 entertaining moves that make a great KZbin video.

[@Phurngirathaana]

Wow all of them are some of my most favorite players Id add Mamedyarov

[@WilliamJonesChess]

The final game was against Lichao back in February 2017 Nepomniachtchi, Ian (2749) 1-0 Li, Chao (2720) Sharjah FIDE Grand Prix

[@a.k.7708]

Thank you Simon! Also the game against Kasparov is interesting, where Nepo' s move just shocked Kasparov...

[@i6g7f]

Thank You, this demonstration was lot of fun! :)

[@pablo_ramone]

Can't quite believe the beauty of this video. Wonderful job, dear Simon! Cheers from Argentina

And you said it 2 years back, and for 2 years now Nepo has been winning the candidates. Amazing prediction Simon!

[@sakshamsingh4378]

I loved this series please do not stop doing this

[@JAMD-te6hb]

The new winner of FIDE candidates. I wish that he win Magnus. It´s time for a new champion of the word

[@deridivisstar884]

Nepo is a beast. He also has a winning record against carlsen. He's got a good chance

[@md.farhanabrarhossain5669]

you're right, unfortunately he lost. I was rooting for Carlsen anyways, but still I like Nepo for his good play.

[@cavaliers4ever]

can we have top five danny rench moves?

[@turkiyett0928]

2:00 f6 Rh8

[@dungminh9055]

he predicted that

[@TemaTumanov]

Yes he can, and it’s gonna happen tomorrow! Davai Nepo 💪🏻

[@52000rightwing]

Simon 100% called it ahead of time. I wonder what his prediction will be for Nepo v Magnus.

[@maulerXX]

I really wish you would indicate which games these moves were from (or even who the opponents were!) so we could look them up...

[@coolbeans8682]

Yeah, it would be fun to see Nepo play Magnus for the title. I believe Magnus would win (of course) but that the match would be more exciting than the matches vs Caruana and Karjakin.

[@waz1077]

U have gotten wat uve wished for

[@o.v4069]

You got what you wished for

[@parulbansal2241]

At 8:56 We don't even need to play Re8 as Nxh6 is already checkmate

Ya but Magnus will easily beat him

[@jawcopter]

Joe Dorben Isnt nepo the only one among the candidates that has a positive win to lose ratio against magnus in classical games?

[@joedorben3504]

@@jawcopter Im pretty sure most or all of his wins were when they were kids, and come on now, I think we all know Magnus wouldnt lose his WC title to any of the current elite players, Firouzna is the only one who has a chance of taking it from him anytime in the next 10-15 years

[@sivabalanarayanan]

He actually went through.

[@MrYuryZ]

5:50 Terry Miles the boogie-woogie knight :D

[@abcdefuuu]

I was hoping he would have explained more possibilities for someone like me who’s not very good at visualising so far ahead. Say at 4:33, what happens if the black knight takes the rook instead of the queen? The white bishop will take the black bishop and after the black rook just moves aside, isn’t that still equal for both?

[@PC-oo6yr]

Awesome videos Simon - guessed 2/20 so far across the lot I've seen (am total crap, but super interesting nonetheless)

[@tidonuss]

10:15 We did heard it first ...congrats on the guess ;)

[@Birdbussa]

That’s the kinda compensation I like. I like to be a pawn up, with the compensation!!

[@e4e6mate96]

Another great vid in this great series

[@davidcharles7106]

at 01:48, I wonder if Kg6 is worth a try? I know it's crazy and probably flawed, but worth considering for a moment.

[@sollertia_]

Is it possible to post either pgn or details on the matches wherein the moves were taken from?

[@AbhishekKumar-uu4uj]

I'll just play Qd3+ if you take h4 pawn with your bishop, then I'll take the bishop on next move

It would be nice if you could mention the name of the opponents.

[@FootballisMessi]

I have a feeling and strongly believe so that players in the past like mikhial tal and rashmudiinov ( i dunno how to spell his name sorry) sacrificed their queens to destroy the kings protection and analyse moves ahead what their opponent would play and go on to slaughter their king.... These days mostly players sacrifice the queen to get more pieces with forks, discovered checks etc
