Testing the World Championship Challenger's Opening Prep with the Vienna Game

[@chessbrilliance8783]

On Qd1 played quickly wich is not the best move black missed the "simple' Nxe5 wich equalises easily. Even Rd8 is interesting but Be7 is quite dubious.

That guy looks like someone from another era

[@mridultiwari3560]

At 5:09 the position was approximately same as one of the position of yesterday's stream of imbalance theory with biswa and vaibhav.. Is it??

[@pakooka5953]

nice quality 👍i hope 1080p 60fps would be standard of your next video

[@aleksandarmaksimovic9420]

06:44 A better move for white was knight E5, then after bishop D6, white plays bishop G5.

[@cristobalbustamante4549]

But black can still play Rg8

[@aleksandarmaksimovic9420]

@@cristobalbustamante4549 yeah, didn't think about that

[@chiggi901]

Yup attacking three pieces in one move

A vienna gambit 🔥🔥..... My favourite line !!

[@Holfast1000]

Same!

[@hyperbius760]

Mi favorite opening too although I usually play 3. g3 to develop quickly my king side.

Ian is still in depression after that world Championship post match conference ig

[@kirthikanthn7834]

He must be, he messed up once in a life time opportunity, except Anand no one played against Magnus twice..

[@luciano53688]

He earned the amount of 800.000 euro at the Wolrd champ match, as the runner-up. You are the one depressed, not Nepo.

[@Pacalolo04]

@@kirthikanthn7834 Anand didn't win the Candidates twice in a row. He won in 2014 (to challenge Carlsen for a re-match), but the previous edition of the Candidates (in 2013) had been won by Carlsen himself, since Anand was then the champion.

[@kirthikanthn7834]

@@Pacalolo04 Right, my bad.. So I could say no one was able to play magnus twice in a World Championship match twice other than Anand. 😂 As far as Nepo he didn't look depressed as such. However, he missed a great chance.

[@Pacalolo04]

@@kirthikanthn7834 I tend to agree with you. To get second place in a World Rapid Championship (and in tiebreaks) topping Magnus, you can't be that deep down in depression. I'm sure the Dubai affair was emotionally pretty tough on him, but he seems to be coping with it rather well. Not like Caruana who, by his own account, was very deep in depression for almost a year after losing the match to Carlsen.

Is Nepo rocking a Tide Hunter Shirt, from DOTA 2?

[@4AneR]

He used to compete in a few small Dota 2 LAN tournaments

[@whuwhaaa2]

no there is hxg3 and if you take knight your rook fall with g2

Can anyone please tell me who wins ?

[@gamerboy88386]

It's a tie dude

[@enriquel9817]

draw ?

[@friedrichvolkmann]

Yes. White was playing for a win, but finally could not make any progress. You can recognize the draw offer by the questioning gesture.

[@dhruvyadav7715]

he is looking like Peter svidler 🥴

[@stephengeorge2099]

why not Rh1 at 7:48?

[@EsatOktay_Yildiran]

its leads to draw anyway. u gain nothing after rh6

[@EsatOktay_Yildiran]

he can protect his bishop with rh6 and bf4

[@friedrichvolkmann]

Rh6 Be3 Re6! holds, but I doubt that both players had seen this, and anyway it was worth a try, maybe in conjunction with c5-c6.

[@Arndinius]

Who did win? Ian?

[@tushagr506]

It was a draw
