[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

Pushing pawns as Black isn't a good move continuation against Ian Nepomniachtchi. Play for a Draw if you can't win it. Thats how Carlsen does it!

[@healingwithchris]

I start the video and usually have 5 seconds to take a nice sip of my water due to commercial but then choke the water out with the surprise of "Hello Everyone" as there is no advertisment!!! so what to do here? firstly I pause the video and raise my glass to take yet another sip of nice water in appreciation of your willingness to meet the fans demand for less advertising and then start typing this message to question your sanity as for everyone's derision including my own that we have to wait 5 seconds to watch another incredible and also reassuringly comforting 10-20minutes of magic we will all not begrudge you for making some money doing what you love doing so brother I can't believe I'm saying this but please be an excellent keeper of your living here🙏

[@whiteF0x9091]

[@naldebol]

Did anyone ask Caruana why he did NOT play the Petroff ? He is the world's number one and perhaps sole proponent of such at the highest levels. He is also extremely hard to beat there. I don't remember him losing with the Petroff

[@alexsupertramp5600]

Probably because this is a round-robin tournament, and wants some early wins. I can imagine that even though he is best prepared with the Petrov, that he might not be ok with a draw this early in the tournament, as the Petrov is known for being kinda draws.

[@enizbaytar7844]

Petrov is a draw opening.

[@naldebol]

@@enizbaytar7844 That explains why Caruana has some very awesome wins using it against even top 12 opponents.

[@lalubhaliya]

Excellent game sir ...

[@stinic4263]

#question agad if you are planining on actually visiting grand chess tour and asking the players a questions i personally recommend that you arrive there at least 30min earlier so you can catch them up because unless you are allowed in commentary room you can't get a real interview with them after the match. Espetially if they lost. It is 0% chance for any talking to do.

[@vigneshwaranm5141]

Whoaa... I just found out the best move Bd7x Nc6. Feeling crazyy

[@19vangogh94]

6:27 after black bishop captures, white takes his black knight with rook, basically a free piece because if black captures rook, white bishop then captures black bishop with a fork on the black king and the rook :)

[@vrebds2484]

Exactly👍....
