    • @harleykf1
      @harleykf1 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      ​@@bring-out Only playing for content is a recipe for underperforming and potentially coming last in the tournament. It makes sense to take some risks though, since playing drawishly will probably lead to a drawish result. Pragg probably has decent chances of winning the tournament simply because he's willing to play exciting openings on a frequent basis (though it's possible Hikaru might do something similar later on in the tournament).

      Hikaru knows that.

He wants to win Candidates, he wants to play Ding and he wants to beat him. You can ignore anything he happens to say to the contrary.

  • @sam9239
    @sam9239 หลายเดือนก่อน +275

    1:35 - Pragg didn't play an obscure move in the opening with you, because you're the one player who plays better with chaos on the board. He knows you play in weird games everyday online. That's why he 'surprised' Vidit with f5, and played technically correct against you. Beating Nakamura at chaos chess was never going to happen. Nakamura wants the mess, and that's why his opponents so far are just playing plain chess with him.

    Thx as usual for your opinions and analysis...
    Yes, one could get the feeling that you were outmaneuvered in the center, I'm familiar with some nuances regarding the center pawns in double king pawn setups like this but I don't believe anyone has opined the same so it'll be an interesting avenue of investigation.
    But it's easy to say that when Pragg responded fxe6 that the game was headed to a draw from there and I think that was cemented when he played Ra8 and you exchanged instead of playing something like Rb1.. Declining the trade that way would have given yourself a very bad Rb1 but whether Pragg left the Ra8 or played Ra2, the interesting question is which rook would be worse and if a White attack on the Kingside could be created, the Rb1 might be redeployed faster than the Black rook could make itself felt.

    You got this Hikaru! Remember last candidates Ding also had a not too great first half, but in the sexond half he managed to get second place and even win the world championship. Hikaru can also do this this year!

    Mr Hikaru, great game. You will win this candidates tournament. You are top 3 player in world. Your prep is there. Just a matter of not being scared to go for it all. Lose or win we will be there, the fans.

    It's still very early in the tournament. If within a point of the leader(s) at the mid point, it's anyone's tournament. But falling further behind only means that bigger risks have to be played and opponents will take advantage of that.
    After this round 4, only Nepo has a 1 1/2 point lead on Hikaru which can be considered acceptable at this point. Nepo is playing practical chess, taking advantage of opportunities as they come and not forcing play.

    • @bastianstieg819

      Nepo is prepared and gets playable positions after the opening instead of worse or lost ones

    I think Hikaru is in a good spot here. Right the ship, get back on track, take it in the later rounds. Hikaru plays marathons like this in his sleep. You know he's got the stamina, but these early rounds are going to be a lot of draws because thats how this game works

    Hikaru just has to let his special meter charge up so he can hit them with the samurai slice

    You were in a better position but Pragg noticed that and sought the draw..he knew the lose was coming.

  • @bastianstieg819

    4th game, 4th opening disaster. Hope you find some time in the rest day to fo at least some minor opening prep to try to catch up to the other players.

    Don't think. It can only hurt the FIDE Candidacy.
    Activate the back row. Link your rooks. You know, the basics that you always mock foes for not doing.

    Why not Qg3 before the rook sac because it's the pawn is pinned at that point?

    Nepo is a beast with white, imagine if he wins this 3 times in a row, crazy achievement. Third time's the charm? Still it's too early for conclusions but he is now the favorite with Gukesh also looking good going into the first rest day.

    I like Hikaru's attitude in this tournament and I disagree that "playing for content" comes at the cost of neglecting first place. I hope your positivity gives you the mental stamina you need to keep pumping out more interesting games like this one
