Incredible run by GM Abasov! I hope we get to see more of him in future events! Cheers!

[@anilbista7445]

We will see him in candidates very soon

[@Brandon-a-writer]

yep, with magnus confirming he won't be playing in the candidates cycle, Abasov will get that spon unless they pull the MVL chicanery, whereby one rule or another seems to have the practical reality of ensuring that MVL gets fucked and properly so -- remember he beat Ding and Nepo in the last candidates@@anilbista7445 without magnus in the mix, anyone in the current top 10 could win a match and be a solid champion. Magnus has been the highest rated player on earth since he was 19, when he overtook Vishy as #1 in July 2010. In 13 years no one has really come close. He is a generational talent. Take him out of the equation and you could see Fabi, Nepo, MVL, Ian, Anish, etc, etc, all having as equal an opportunity to win the championship from Ding. The reason WCCs are so difficult for him to play is that if he doesn't want to lose, he will push himself to the point of near physical collapse trying to 'squeeze water from stone'. Ironic that Prag knocked Hikaru out of a chance at the candidates when, in the last candidate cycle, Naka forced a draw in 15 or so moves against Nepo and ended up not having a chance to play for the title--because he is not a fucking shark. Had he actually went for it and showed some championship spirit, he might have more of a legacy than being liked by all the new comers into chess after 2020 and the pandemic for how bigly he beats kids on chesscom. I just think it's funny, to talk about Levy and Andrea and say "they will never accomplish anything in chess." says someone who, has the honor of winning bullet tournaments on the internet. wow much chess, such calculate

[@julianroday2352]

[@IngieKerr]

king would escape to f5, and then win back Magnus' pawn on f6, giving Nijat a "replacement" passed pawn f4 - so, an exchange, but leading to an arguably slightly worse position as the new passed pawn would be further away from black's pawns and harder to both defend Magnus' pawns with his king whilst attacking Nijat's passed pawn [i think :)]
