I've been a sup for 8 years now and enjoy every single video you make. Thank you again for all the content and videos over the years. You brought my passion for chess back.
@@uditraizada1335 I agree, i also like levys recaps but i feel like he puts more effort in the entertainment itself rather then focusing on the chess(he has no clock times for instance), which is a totally understandable thing to do. It's just not for me.
For me Jerry is the best for his calm explanation and preparation, 2nd is Ben Finegold because of his GM views, 3erd for me is Reydama, is a Spanish channel and if you want to learn Spanish along with chess that channel is for you, Juanjo's analysis is ver easy to understand and doesn't make me feel dumb like others channels. Great work Jerry as always
Jerry you are the only guy on TH-cam who actually pronounces Nepomniatchi correctly the way it's pronounced in Russian :) And great commentary as always!
19:31 b3 giving up the A pawn and the follow up by Magnus, so smooth. Very impressive. People acting like this was such an easy win for white, I'd love to put that position on the board and see you convert against any strong endgame player, let alone Nepo
Let's give it up to Ian for incredible sportsmanship going into all these press-conferences and holding himself so well. Imagine the shattered emotional state he must have been in.
True. I remember when Carlsen lost his game against Karjakin during their world championship match, where he didn't even show up for the press conference even though it cost him a fine.
@@Commanber In truth, I can equally understand Carlsen's reaction - personally, it's totally fine with me as a viewer. Moreover, I believe Magnus would compose himself differently after a loss nowadays. But yeah, giving credit where credit is due.
Jerry, @17:34 - in the post press conference, Carlsen found that variation (I just can't remember if he found the WHOLE variation or only upto Black's Rg6), While Nepo only calculated upto White's Bxf7 (he didn't see Rg6) and thought the whole variation was losing. That's why Nepo avoided the Bxh3 variation .
Thanks Jerry for the informative analysis. Hoping you can make a content with detailed explanation of the average centipawn loss and the tale of the tape diagram. Cheers!
Once I heard an excellent advice - always check all possible checks before your move. It eliminates a whole lot of tactics and sometimes even strategical problems. I'm not a very good player and forget about this advice often. Quite interesting to see Nepo neglecting it as well (well, he certainly saw Qa3+ but did not calculate it further enough). What is the most amazing for me is Carlsen's technical skill above all else. Once he gains even a minor advantage, he bites and continues flawlessly, taking his time, thinking everything through...
The pacing of your instruction is perfect for me. I’ve never achieved better than 1500, blitz. I’m sure a lot of people are less than that. Excellent work, thank you.
There is a Christmas Carol illustrating Carlsen‘s lead in the current chess world championship: „Come they told me, I‘m up a pawn pawn; A new born King to see, I‘m up a pawn pawn…“ (Little bummer boy)
@@gunnervine Absolutely. At this level, any result that isn't a draw, sould be well deserved. All those counterplays denied by white, also the draws at the end, amazes me. It wasn't a flashy play, but the precision put on the board is cirurgical.
@@gunnervine I agree. This is more black blundering than white being brilliant. Magnus looked like he was going for drawish lines the whole game and found treasure at some point.
@@MrMaxtng all ya'll would have lost against nepo in a position with 3 times the advantage magnus had after nepos mistakes. What right do you have to say Magnus's play wasn't brilliant. He allowed no counter play and perfectly took advantage of the mistakes.
The game reminds me of Fischer vs Larsen WC Challenger championship match where trying to extract at least one win, Larsen overreached and lost all the six games without playing for a draw. Of course it saved Taimanov life (!) who also lost all the six games earlier to Fischer with only a ban on his travel outside Russia afterwards. But, till then, the chess world thought Larsen was equal or next only to Fischer in the world after the Russian GMs and their ex world champs outside Russia. But, Fisher demonstrated his tremendous game superiority on his way to the WC and beat Spassky whom he had never won earlier convincingly to claim the title.
Good video as always, it's a good lead, but doesn't mean it's over. Mental health is clearly catching up, the games are not as precise as the first ones.
I can’t imagine what it would be like for the opponent when Carlson goes into the tank for 40 minutes before deciding how to proceed at a key juncture in the middle game. I imagine most players would be a little unnerved by that , thinking how far he must have looked into the variations before settling on the best plan going forward. Maybe Nepo cracked under that pressure.
If I were a GM and had a snowball's chance in hell, I'd be scared s---less. But me? I'd be sitting there dead sure of the loss, but thinking, "Holy cow I'm playing MAGNUS FREAKIN' CARLSEN!" 🙂
well, you would probably spend most of that 40 minutes calculating possible follow-up lines depending on what move your opponent plays next. It's often referred to as "using your opponents time". But yes, it's probably not a pleasant feeling.
Damn these types of games makes you appreciate how far little edges can be taken to a win. What super concentration you must have to play at that level! EDIT: Nepo's gotta get in there and bloody the champ.
Alireza barely got to #2. He's not ready for a title match. He'll need 1-2 years to prove that he belongs in the top ten and as a contender for the title. Alireza is also known for being very emotional and might collapse just due to the sheer pressure of the match. Imagine Alireza explaining why he lost in the press conference compared to Nepo. The kid is not ready by a long shot.
@@MrSupernova111obviously you are not following Alireza progress, he used to beat magnus for fun in bullet and blitz(something no one did) almost 2 years now, his only weakness was the classical games and he did improves alot in that in the last year, and you can see how he can turn draw or even losing position to winning ones, check the armagadomn chess channel covering the latest alirezra games, at worst case he wont be 3 - 0 after 9 games like Ian is currently doing, he is much much stronger player.
@@MrSupernova111 lol i knew you are going to run the moment Ian lost 6 - 3, and the fact he is probably the worst candidate to ever play the game, but hey who cares how bad he is at chess as long as he can do good interviews after each loss :D. What a noob.
@@jawadsaleh9971 . You have no idea what you're talking about if you think Alireza would fair any better than Nepo in this event. It shows how little you know about chess. You must be another one of those pandemic chess players.
I wonder what would have happened if Nepo played 17) ... f6? I get that it is a huge concession but then again I am not a 2000 level player, just wondering if it is loosing for a human
You can say goodbye to your rook entering the game. And the black king is exposed to white’s attack and coordination and the Black rook needs to be able to help in the defence. But f6 cuts the rook off and isolates it. The rook would then need to reroute the long way and swap places with the king. But my intuition says that Black is nowhere near in time to coordinate this idea which concludes that Black is facing an attack on his king essentially down a rook. This to me is a decisive advantage for white. Even if Black manages to bring his Rook back to e8 lets say, white will have already pushed b3 c4 and already positioned himself for a deadly attack (i prefer doing this by putting Queen on a5 to threaten a7 pawn and infiltration on c7).
my input is, apart from the worries associated with the weakened king (as Finegold puts it "never play f6" - or in this case f5), the concession of e5 would be too overwhelming in the hands of someone like magnus. As Jerry mentioned, after some trades a deadly rook would land on e5, and the only way to get rid of it is by creating a dangerous passed pawn
Bishop d6 (just move 8!) appears to be the losing move in the sense that it made black a humanly irrecoverable disadvantage. Any hope for victory was lost right there, would you agree?
Curiously, Carlsen played a "losing" move on move 7! Nepo played this opening as White in 2019, and scored a win against Yu Yangyi. In that game, he played 7. O-O, which is about 100 times more common than any other move. 7. Nd2 only appears 9 times in the lichess masters' database. Of those 9 games, 6 are draws and 3 are wins for Black. White doesn't win any of them! All of those games went 7. Nd2 Nxd2 8. Bxd2. Nepo snapped the knight off right away, but this line is mostly unexplored in high level play, and it may have pulled him out of his preparation. At the very least, it had to put a question into his mind: what does Carlsen know about this that I don't? I can think of two reasons why he might have played that 8th move. He may have been aiming for a draw, and he had some reason why Bd6 would help that better than the alternatives. Or maybe he knew the move was slightly inferior (to Stockfish's preference, anyway), but he thought to pull Carlsen out of his preparation and put them on a more even footing.
While it certainly invites complications, that's probably the point. There's no way Ian is out of is WC prep on move 8 of his primary defense, with white having only played one move slightly out of theory. Humanly irrecoverable for a layman like me? Well, sure, but so are most other positions you could hand me with Magnus as the opponent. But while something clearly went wrong for Ian, I don't think it's fair to say it was there, even if the engine isn't fond of that move. The nature of winning with the black pieces against humans - and yes, despite appearances, Magnus is human - is playing lines that are objectively only slightly dubious, aren't known to your opponent, and offer practical chances if your opponent fails to navigate their consequences perfectly.
Reading all those “nepo is better than carauna” comments from the previous videos is hilarious considering nepo has already taken two losses without a game that put Carlsen in the hot seat, carauna had 2 missed wins, nepo has 2 failed draws Jokers
@@tdl8472 Just my words! Fabi is way over Nepo and probably the only player standing a chance against Magnus. All the fuzz about Nepo having a 4-1 record against Magnus has been used as a reason why Nepo would have a chance to become WC but they were kids at the time that happened and since then Magnus has had the upperhand. Nepo is an excellent player but not WC stuff!
l feel like Nepomniachtchi got a bit too greedy here,, he was playing as Black so in a meta-sense he probably shouldve accepted the circumstances and go for the safe draw, and only when playing as White go for a win. Playing to win as black here was pushing his luck, and now his chances to win overall are pretty much zero :/
@@MrSupernova111 That's not always true though. Many times an advantage within the 1-2 range according to a brief engine evaluation are still holdable.
It's interesting that it occurs to nobody that game 8 might well be called "Nepo takes a dive." The challenger makes a move so bad that a patzer might recognize it as such. It's not only a blunder but an exceedingly ugly move. A routinely competent player might consider the move but would recoil from making it (or would make it in an entirely defensive position). There's a plausible explanation for a player of that ability doing this and here it is: the whole farce was scripted. 1. He makes the amazing and colossal h5 move. Scripted. 2. Magnus ponders for 40 minutes before he responds. This is also scripted. 3. Eleven moves later Nepo makes that preposterous blunder. Scripted. More scripted moves follow and then it’s over. It isn't as though players of that caliber couldn't remember a prearranged forty odd move game. Nepo later looks stricken and ill at the press conference. Is it because he made the blunder of the new now? Or is it because he participated in that sham of a game? In a world of critical thinkers as opposed to mindless drones this possibility would at least be considered even it it upsets the feint of heart.
As Max and Anish pointed out, b5 is a common move in similar petrov positions. As Ian pointed out, he overlooked that the bishop was hanging. As everyone pointed out, blunders happen. Especially when you're tired after an 8 hour chess game, and potentially tilted thinking you're running out of time to win the championship. Going full conspiracy isn't equivalent to thinking critically.

Good stuff!
I love how ...b5? echoes one of Black's moves in Morphy's famous Opera Game.
Who writes this stuff?
Thanks, Jerry!
Go Jerry go!
The Knights are wizards in the Russian game situation. After Knight d7 Knight captured f7 could be the most brilliant move ever.
Was really hoping Nepo would win this one. The h5 idea was really cool. Might have won if he didn’t blunder the a7 pawn.
Fantastic
I was watching this from move 15 or so. 21. ... b5 was a mistake. Is it as bad as a blunder? That was the turning point, it seems.
At 5:08, why shouldn't Black play g6?
From what I can see, it’s because Black would lose a full Rook.
He can. Fabi on stream said if g6 was played, maybe white can play f4 f5 to shred open the kingside
Thanks Jerry

It isn't as though players of that caliber couldn't remember a prearranged forty odd move game.
Nepo later looks stricken and ill at the press conference. Is it because he made the blunder of the new now? Or is it because he participated in that sham of a game?
In a world of critical thinkers as opposed to mindless drones this possibility would at least be considered even it it upsets the feint of heart.
Not everything is a conspiracy. These players are human and make mistakes under pressure. It happens.
What are you on about?
To what end? And if they can memorize a game they can arrange a 65 move endgame grind that Carlsen is famous for. This oversight makes no sense.
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
As Max and Anish pointed out, b5 is a common move in similar petrov positions.
As Ian pointed out, he overlooked that the bishop was hanging.
As everyone pointed out, blunders happen. Especially when you're tired after an 8 hour chess game, and potentially tilted thinking you're running out of time to win the championship.
Going full conspiracy isn't equivalent to thinking critically.
