This was an epic win by Nepo. I must say that something doesn't feel right with Ding. It seems that he is experiencing a lot of stress, and that this whole situation is a big challenge for him. Hope everything is well with him.
The preparation with Rapport is showing through in Ding’s play imo. Ding is still playing like he usually does stylistically, but seems just a bit more daring, and eclectic so far, and I like that. The chess world would be a lot more fun if everyone played a little bit more like Rapport.

Nepo is probably just winning this, as I thought.

His chess is consistent and well-rounded. You have to be perfect in all aspects of the game to beat him.

Magnus refused the title. The winner of this match will be the new world champion. Everything is according to the rules and in fairness. It wouldn't be fair NOT to think so.

I really believe this is a very close tournament despite what people have been saying about Liren so far, hell find his stride and the end score will be very close.
It doesn’t surprise me that the recap was outperformed by the cheaters video because I believe many of us are watching the Championship live so we don’t necessarily need the recap immediately. Nevertheless, I am watching this one now because I had stuff to do this morning and missed it. I needed the recap. Thank you so much for your dedication and the great recap!
I watched the game a bit live, then saw the result, so I only browsed through the game 1 recap. It's probably to be expected for a round 1 draw that it didn't get that many views, regardless of who played in it.
@@RaduStanculescu I personally haven’t watched the recap yet, but I feel like I can come back to it later in the week to relive all the games. But it will eventually get more views. Despite it being a draw, the game had its exciting moments and it’s definitely worth watching.
Now what I think will happen is, the complete OPPOSITE of 2022 WCC, ian lost a game and collapsed there, now Ian has won and we know how Ian performs in tournaments if he gets a winning start, he's going to win a game within the next 3-4 games FOR SURE.
I think we frequently understimate everyone from the top 10, because they are always compared to Magnus and Magnus is almost a living engine. I'm rooting for Ding, but Nepo is simply playing better than him
He was obviously underestimated but that was because of Magnus on other end, Ding is great but is he really there..... probably no, also Ian lost the last championship because of his opponent's grinding game
Genuinely the commitment to posting daily videos in a fashionable time, in an entertaining way, is just amazing and Gotham is like the one TH-camr whom I enjoy posting videos every single day. ❤
@@SrinivashM29 i know that and I must not boast it but i really doubt if ding can go that extra mile to defeat Ian. You see, Ian always had supreme opening and in most matches was on par or better than magnus in opening, and in game 6 magnus clearly stated that he wanted a long game clearly showing that to defeat Ian one must be supreme in middle and endgames
I love how ding prepares with these genius computers, and how he has these brilliant opening moves and Ian is like Preparation?, Nah I'm good I'll figure it out.
