He just destroyed in the St. Louis Rapid and Blitz increasing his blitz rating by over a 100 points, absolutely unreal performance. He's rated over 2900 in blitz now making him currently second in the world in that time control.
Great video, thanks. And looking at his performance in the chess olympiad and even more now in St. Louis, where he became as I think the youngest 2900+ blitz (completely skipping 2800) and one of only 6 players ever reaching 2900, I think you were right that the setback in the candidates should not be overrated.
Great video ! I think the guy is young, let him experience and have fun, he wasn't expecting to win the candidates. Only price he pays is a bit of rating, but people are taking this way too seriously !
Yes Alireza's success is undeniable and he does seem to be close to challenging magnus given his rating. But Alireza has never beaten carlsen in classical format. Not once. Maybe in the world championship match he can draw the 12 classical games and try to win in the rapid and blitz but the fact that Alireza has yet to get a win against magnus in classical makes it feel like he still has a looong way to go
Too early for world championship; He showed weaknesses in endings. If he studies this point, instead of playing bullets , as in the candidates tournament, he may have a chance. But they are so many young talents now, specially from India.

He is by so far my favorite chess player of the last 7 years !

Were expecting you to play a match with Carlsen
He refused to appear in Tata Steel Master which was a big mistake on his way to become FIDE world champion.
Fantastic work and channel!

theres a good german out there too over 2700 at 19 but firouzja seems the best at this stage
That handshake at 9:50 🤣
FUTURE
None of the top USA players are actual americans, lol.
but this guy represents France
The guy got destroyed and his maturity showed when he played quick chess during the tournament. He is a cry baby.
You sound dumb sorry you're talking about something that happend like 4 years ago. "His maturity" he was a minor lol
2890 elo blitz 2768 elo classic 💪💪💪🐐🏆👑
