At 16:18 "and then we had a little... suspension of the tournament for unfortunate reasons" - a classic British understatement in the finest sense. And that year off changed everything, and was undoubtedly a key factor in Nepo's ultimate tournament victory. Thank you, GM King, for this comprehensive summary of Nepo's journey through the Candidates. I for one have a much better sense of the player who is going to face Magnus later this year.

@@irradiatedbadger People everywhere (Reddit, KZbin etc.) were complaining that he resigned prematurely against Nepomniachtchi in round 12, and many went as far as accusing him that he threw the game. Mostly Anish fans, I guess. GM King analysed the final position thoroughly, showing why that's *not* the case. Check out his video, and the comments underneath - they're shameful, sometimes downright racist, complaining about "those Chinese players" that spoil the sport. People who never write comments were spewing hate without even having watched the video (which disproved their point). I was disgusted. If such shit happened in Daniel King's peaceful channel that's dedicated to high-quality reporting and analysis, I can only imagine what the comments looked like elsewhere...

Great review of Nepo's games. I don't know if I read correctly but It seams that Wang Hao retired from chess after the candidates. This tournment was really hard on him. It would be nice to see a couple of his best games so we all can appreciate how good he could be when inspired. Thanks Daniel for the hard work.

Wang Hao mentioned health issues. It matters more that his health improves than that he plays professional chess. If his health really improves, he might handle stress better and want to play top chess again, but that would be a bonus.

Very nice overview - Thank you! It went well for Nepo (or should he rename to Kepo? - Russians with K have a fine history as chess world champions, however its not a guarantee as Karjakin showed ;) ) After the Russian Minister of Defense and an incredibly strong Fabiano Caruana where both players essentially showed too much respect of each other (and everybody knew, that if it comes to tiebreak, Fabi will loose) it can get quite interesting. I do not think that yet someone can beet Magnus (except possibly Aronian and Grischuk in single games but not a tournament 1:1), but Kepo is possibly one of the closest currently.

They really outta have the road to the Championship like they did in the past. Play Interzonals leading to Candidate Matches as there are so many GM's in the Chess World now. Seems to be quite unfair to limit it to just a few guys and even more unfair to have a 'pick' placement when others are clearly so much stronger. There is little hope for many strong players under the current system. They must be wondering why they should strive to play well with such little chance of reward.
