[@israeladeola6398]

I need that Nepo-Abasov Analysis

[@GeraldM_inNC]

I would like to know whether there was some brilliant move Nepo could have made to bring home the win, instead of just daring Abasov to make a mistake.

[@supperhey]

It was near 99% vs 99% accuracy, so basically two players playing at engine-perfection. Prop to Abasov, valiant defense

[@GeraldM_inNC]

@@supperhey - Even one move that was not optimal would have lost Abasov the game. I could never have defended that position.

[@supperhey]

@@GeraldM_inNC That was what happened in Round 5, Abasov v. Gukesh. On move 83, one wrong queen move costed Abasov the draw, and it's what Nepo was hoping for but couldnt achieve today. It's an understandable strategy for Abasov. Every draw in the tournament earns you 3500 euros, and against vastly higher-rated super GMs and child prodigies imaginable, Abasov has done wonders.

[@kanha1599]

Where's the photo of both the players which you show before the game starts?

[@antoniobacic5674]

Thanks for covering a game of one of the two joint tournament leaders 👍🏻 (covering Nepo’s game also would be great).

[@jorgeidelsohn]

Gracias maestro! Un abrazo desde Berlin

[@khann2159]

Its really impressive how many time I came across top player's games and they lost because they didnt have control over the open file, reminds me of deep blue x kasparov in the spanish opening

[@rolandgehrels8586]

Isn't Rxf5 a Queen sacrifice worth mentioning?

[@aronuchukwuezugo615]

I don't see why black shouldn't grab the b pawn in the c5 line that you gave. I don't see how white gets a pig in that line, and even in the line you gave, black has connected passed pawns and must be winning.

[@tatsuyasigh1906]

I think maybe then white play Ra1 and get control of the A-file. Black rook is kinda stranded on the b-file. Maybe sth like Rxb5 Ra1 Qd8 d5? Idk. Maybe I'll check with the engine later. Seem like a legit question
