What an incredible performance from this just 17 years old young man! Man, this is so exciting to watch! I wish this guy to win the Candidates from the bottom of my heart!
If anyone hasn't seen Sagar visiting Gukesh in his small, very simple room next to his parent's house yet, check that one out. This shows a simple life fully dedicated to chess.
I shouldn't be too excited also: still one round to go!!!
Three cheers for Guki!
Couldn't agree more. I hope Gukesh wins the WC then Magnus decides to come back so we can see a Carlsen x Gukesh match!
Pause for a moment of appreciation for what Gukesh may be about to do at 17 years old. Tal, Kasparov, and Carlsen won the candidates in their early 20s. Fischer tried at 16 and again at 19 but couldn’t get over the hump (and, no, even without Soviet collusion, Bobby still wouldn’t have won). To qualify for a world championship match at high-school age would be incredible.
Well said.
What a superb candidates tournament this is, with superb play from Gukesh and Caruana. The final round pairings couldn't be more dramatic.
The interview by Sagar at Gukesh's home is interesting. Gracious of him to allow it too, as I can imagine many people wouldn't want the intrusiveness. I was surprised how few chess books he has, even though I know that much is now on computer. The choice of books too, even including "Nunn's Chess Openings" - maybe that explains why he likes 1.e4
Yeah...that is somewhat surprising (re: his books). Frankly, high level success like his is probably due to coaching, not books. That is what I take away from watching Daniel Naroditsky.
I thought Firouzja was going to have a hard tournament but what is this? 6 losses and 2 wins, one against Abasov, the other he could have lost to Gukesh. This has been a horrendous tournament. This is why I love chess. You can't take a long time off and just rely on talent. It requires talent and consistent hard work to improve.
Speaking as a blitz addict who plays impulsive moves, I diagnose Alireza as … a blitz player who plays impulsive moves. He just happens to be 750 points stronger than me :)
It was a nail biter watching Gukesh and Caruana finish their games. High level games between such well-prepared contestants can be boring, but these guys pulled off a couple of real exciting games.
I have been watching Gukesh for a while and I always thought he had chances in this tournament. He is such a well-balanced player. He attacks really well, but also defends really well. He can beat you tactically or beat you strategically. He is not afraid of sharp positions but can also grind out a long game and beat his opponent that way. He is also very level-headed and this serves him well, as it did in this game. But even if he doesn't win this one, I would surely expect him to win the next one. He's going to be a top player for a long long time.
Very nice analysis Daniel. Gukesh's understanding of long term positional advantages is frightening for such a young player. I shall be rooting for him for sure.
Your analysis & presentation are top-notch as always, really look forward to the men's games analysis at least 6 hours earlier than its been coming! Please do it for your ardent fans!
Wow I think I am going to call Gukesh the Iceman...he is very cool under pressure. He along with Fabi were my 2 picks before the tournament started and they both have a chance to win. Has there ever been a better candidates tornament??? The 3 losers tomorrow will be gutted. Excellent insight and analysis as always.
Wow - a fascinating game. Thanks Daniel. What a prospect Gukesh is, and only 17 years old. Towards the end, in the live commentary, they pointed out the mate threat that white had, by playing Nf6 and Rh7. Quite surprising. PS: I notice that the Brentford mug came out again after yesterday's result.
Many thanks for the excellent and enlightening video analysis. The game once again showed the splendour and misery of the talented Alireza. He reaches a great position with Black with a strong kingside pawn chain, only to deconstruct himself with 32. ...g5. I feel infinitely sorry for him and I hope he can recover from the current chess disasters - despite a probably less than ideal environment.
The game of the day for me is Pragg vs Fabiano. Firstly, I love Fabi for allowing Rossolimo and playing a line that you also suggest in your marvellous course. In the game I think he found a model set-up against 4.Bxc6 and d3: Qc7, e5 and holding back short castling for now. But the absolute highlight was his perfect play throughout the game. He literally crushed Pragg with Black until he collapsed. It seems to me that Fabi can play freely in a situation where he has nothing left to lose. Quite a great performance!
Appreciate the analysis, and no unnecessary drama or hyping up of the moves. I had learned chess by 17, Gukesh's age, but nothing even remotely close to his playing ability and coolness under pressure. We will see if he can keep it up in Round 14, and I hope he does well.
Alireza still going for it in spite of bad results. Very cool defence by Gukesh turned to counter. A thrilling finish in store for us. Thanks Daniel.
I watched this live and did not understand and was quite upset that Alireza did not use his knight to take the blocking white pawn and promote his a3 pawn. @17:33 Alireza can do Knight e2 , then white knight c3, black rook a6, white can check the black king but it can just evade until black knight c1, then whatever white move and black knight take a3 pawn , white takes back knight, and now the white knight is pinned down, black can then proceed to take the white c5 pawn and the game is no longer in favor of white.
Candidates will come down to who can navigate the ultimate piece effectively...what piece could that b? The illusion of TIME!
After a4 you don't "just" push the bishop back, you need to take a moment and count dxc6. :)
at 16:00 im guessing that if nh5 white plays nxf5?
Naka vs. Gukesh in Rd. 14, this will be a slugfest and the most tense final imaginable
Caruana vs Nepo on the other side.
@@simonemiglioli1165 Yeah, right, but I think this will tend more to a draw than Naka-Gukesh.
@@flippert0 I believe not, unless Gukesh Is tired.
Gukesh is an amazing player. Unbelievable to think he’s only 17!
Given it's a must win what opening does Hikaru roll out against Gukesh? Going to be a wild couple of games. If Gukesh does win the tournament then that is a sensational result, particularly after the slight implosion in the previous Firouzja match. Similar situation coming up to move 40 in this one but seemed cool as you like 😎
Thank you daniel
You yourself asked Nepo how to pronounce his name correctly. What was his response ? Stress on 'O' and Not on 'i' .
Tennis might be the best physical activity for chess players.
2762 at age 17. Who knows this guy's ceiling.
I can't believe Gukesh winning this tournament. He will be under huge pressure against Nakamura and I think it's not more than 30% chance that he saves it. Nakamura will play game of his life. This aside, it's remarkable what Gukesh has done and regardless of what happens, he has already made name for himself.
Not so easy when you try just to achieve a draw.
Since Alireza moved to France his chess playing level plummeted.
Gukesh is getting stronger by every tournament.
Firoujza simply lacks the maturity to go into damage control mode sometimes. The fact that he plays blitz/bullet marathon to feel better after painful losses indicates that he’s a very emotional and slightly insecure player.
I’m first for the first time!!
this is how Alireza is playing
Everyone farming Alireza for rating, he needs to grow up perhaps he thought he could create his own candidates tournament to qualify for the championship game
He practically took a year off top flight chess, didn't even play the world cup, finished 39th on the grand Swiss. Cheesed his way into the tournament and then wasn't prepared.
To busy being a model he sold out @@Saqu0007
Y'all brutal to this guy
@@Sough Deserved, he acts like an entitled child
In every tournament there will be players who will do well, and others who don't. I feel sorry for anyone who has a bad tournament, particularly at this level, as it is so public. In the end Firouzja qualified by rating, by playing well in a tournament (not by sitting back). He didn't make the rules, FIDE did. The matches that he set up at the last minute were not accepted by FIDE.
Alireza reached 2800 far too early but since than it has been downhill. He may well go down as one of those prodigies who peaked too early. He is unlikely to reach those heights again.
20 years of age is way too early to write someone off.
Not sure how many players in history reached 2800 heights early, railed off significantly, than later reached 2800 again.
@@dollishillworkThere are only 14 players who have reached 2800. You can't draw statistics on such a narrow sample. Besides, Firouzja is the youngest to do so, so this is uncharted territory.
You never know, the performance may still be very oscillatory at his age. Look at Vaishaili's perfomance here, 4 consecutive losses followed by 4 consecutive wins.
It´s remarkable that Firuzja always have time problem, he wasting to much time for a simple move. He´s endgame are bad as it can be. Gukesh knew he is desperate to win an was excellent in end game.
I have to agree. And this is strange since Alireza definitely has improved his endgame over the years. But early time trouble takes its toll, together with overly aggressive play in the middle game, I guess.
Alireza has played awfully in the Candidates and hands out easy wins to his opponents in most games. Has anyone lost as many games as Alireza in a Candidates?
Radjabov did even worse in 2013, lost 7 games while being nearly 2800
@@cankercanison92 Thanks for the info. It must be nerves.
This was not a free win
Maybe because he plays all his games for a won...push too much...
In every tournament there will be players who will do well, and others who don't. I wouldn't say he 'hands out easy wins'. Remember he has won a couple of games too.
Alireza is overrated!
When playing against 2750s, yes, when playing against 2650s, no. He does not have the solidity against the very best.
I don't think Guckesh was cool, his face was concentrated with contained rage and war. From seeing his home interview he spends all his days working on Chess, at that level it's not a matter of being cool, the pressure to win is akeen to loosing your life. After his humiliating defeat in the first round where he got both checkmated and ran out time at almost the same move (next move was checkmate) he came back with vengeance and was ready to chop his arm off if he had to win. There was nothing cool about his countenance only deep motivation to win and not loose. The rage face tells it all. I can sense violence in him.
Alireza disappointed me, he seemed to lack motivation and was nowhere near guckesh in desire to win.
Its seems to be Ali Reza lost against Gukesh on purpose, can you imagine a candidates level player will sacrifice two pawns irresponsible game by Ali Reza so which idiot selected Ali Reza for Candidates tournament.
