Vidit has the ability and talent to beat anyone, his problem has always been dealing with the demons within himself. I’m definitely rooting for him to win it all 💯.
For real, he always has a solid opening and middle game, he even gains advantage in the middle game but somehow loses it all in the endgame. I think his end game is not as strong as the others, time pressure could also be the reason, this happened against top tier GM’s in many events. I hope he gets stronger and stronger.
I once remember he had advantage with Magnus but still went for draw..he needs to believe in himself more he is definitely best of the lot..he can win it all I am also rooting for him
To be honest after Vidit's first game against Svidler in their match I was convinced that under the right conditions he is capable of playing like a machine. His middlegame and opening is particularly strong.
Getting interesting... Bignames like Hikaru and Nepo eliminated, longtimers Magnus and Fabi holding on, Abusov continuing to delight the home crowd, a bunch of young Indian GMs vying for a spot in the candidates, and a player more experienced then all others still standing in the middle

Nepo will never be the same after losing to the ding for world champion even before I started watching the video I knew nepo will lose coz same happened with fabi after he lost to magnus. Winning titles are important otherwise you lose your spirit.
What really impressed me about the first game was Vidit was in time trouble for much of the latter half of the game with his clock under a minute and Nepo had over 7 minutes at the same time yet Vidit found a winning line and Nepo being forced to resign.

Great job by vidit but the first game where vidit had the white pieces in the rapid section 25mins plus 30. It's insane how both of them played at 99 percent accuracy, especially Ian because almost every move in that game could have been an inaccuracy.
For players like Nepo there is no consolation prize! He can turn and walk away from the loss, but every time he returns the memory of defeat will stare him in his face. I feel a bit sad for him.
Slightly off topic, but would love to see you cover the second game between Caruana and Robson, it had 2 brilliant moves that still cannot understand them. #suggestion
I wasn't aware that Ian Nepomniatchi is a Former World Champion 18:24 (I always believed, in a fun way, that Agad says the whole line of Former World Championship Challenger for Nepo and one day he will slip and today he did😛)

it would be nice to have a classic varaint were you first have the usual time for the first x moves then gradually shorten the time from rapid to blitz further on in the mid to endgame OR exactly the opposite.
That line of the Dutch is pure suffering and I think it's the main reason Simon Williams plays the Dutch with the 1.d4 e6 move order to avoid it. Bg5 no longer possible as the queen now controls that diagonal for the time being.
Quite shocking how nepo gave up his a pawn .. from there on it was vidit steamrolling him .. just a pawn n that’s it . margin of error at super GM level is incredible

Man, nepo has nightmares because of these 3 fold repetitions being declined. 1st the championship, now this. I feel so sorry for him.
But he is in candidates so no worry ,
15:35 can visit just give a discovered check with the bishop
Ne6
waste move, black queen is covered by the knight
"Former World Champion Ian Nepomniachtchi" 18:25 😂😂
If bxc5 then Bxc6 attacking the rook, Rb8 is forced and then Qxg4 and white is up a piece.
Great to see vidit getting back!! ❤
Isn't playing Be6 check at 15:34 a dicovery on Qc7? Or maybe I am missing something?
Always watch out the knights
I Love these videos! Thanks Agad,

At 18:26, former world champion Ian Nepomniatchi.

After Qc7, and Vidits knight swap for the rook, didn't Vidit have Nepos Queen after that. With a Bc4 to d6 check???
For game 2
I see it too
thanks for the video, excellent
9:55 Why did'nt Nepo come closer to Black rook (or pawn) by playing Ke2. There are no checks as well..
Hi Agad, it's not Armageddon this year but sudden death once the 3 minute games are done.
1:47 obviously if bxc5, it's Bxc6, not Qxg4 ... not just a better position but up a full piece.
Once again 0:35
There's no Armageddon but sudden death blitz games of 3+2
