When Nepo is in shape, he looks unstoppable. His moves look so straightforward and uncompromising.
@frednimzowi9852 3 ай бұрын
I would express it differently: Nepo has the capacity to get in form when it counts the most. Counterexamples are easy to find: Chucky, Aronian, Fabi and maybe Alireza but for him it's a bit early to say. Even in the match against Magnus Nepo was in good shape imo. He collapsed after losing game 6, the turning point and a game he could have won. But in the first half he was really good. I think Nepo is the favorite as long as he doesn't lose a game. With his direct style, confidence is even more important, I think.

Thanks again for this excellent explanation. In mine opinion Nepo found the prepared move 12. Nf3-h2 by using a computer. Stockfish 16.1 finds after 36 ply (1 min) that Bf4 (the main move) is equal to Nh2 (0.00), indeed with the idea to follow up with f4.

Well...I kind of understand why Nepo shook his head. If someone plays a good endgame, then it has become a cliche - they are always compared to Capablanca. Chess has moved on! Since the 1920s there have been some wonderful endgame players (and they might well be playing more accurately these days!). Let's start with Magnus Carlsen...

Nice to see the Berlin Wall back in an important game. Besides the Kasparov-Kramnik WC games. Further tests between the two after the WC are really interesting. Think Gujrathi, maybe due to his limited Berlin experience and prep, was totally out of his depth. Seems positionally much worse off relatively early. Maybe practically busted. Once one of the black B's comes off, ouch. Always white desired in the Berlin Wall, though maybe LSB preferred, and any white advantage is magnified. Think Nepom extremely nice positional play. Getting Black's pieces bad and keeping them there.

It would be very hard to hold the endgame with RB vs RNB (opposite colours) with the 4-2 pawns, for example, without pawns it's a win for the side with the advantage (probably takes too long to convert of course, but still, that shows how dangerous it is).

"Mama, there goes that man." [NBA fans will recognize that quote; at least American ones.] Candidates, don't let Nepo get too far ahead. I fear if he gets one more win on the field that they'll panic and we'll not have an exciting finish to this years tournament. I'm sure Naka is already panicking, but maybe not the rest of the field. YET. Not that I'm opposed to Nepo winning, would be a hell of a story if he could do it and then win the title. I just want this tournament to be undecided with at least 2 rounds left. Great coverage as usual! Svitlana included!

👍A question for Chess Historians - Did Steinitz employ the London System against Lasker in St. Petersburg 1896? If so when did he (or anyone) introduce it as the London System? I'm referring to the youtube video, The Immortal Game //Wilhelm Steinitz vs Emanuel Lasker, St. Petersburg 1896 I don't know where to ask this question, and chose this British Channel😃
@PowerPlayChess 3 ай бұрын
I don't see any game between Steinitz and Lasker with the London System. The opening got its name after it was played in several games in the London international tournament of 1922. However, I'm sure that wasn't the first time it was played.

No, this is a very good question. For example Nd5 looks very reasonable; attacking two of whites strongest pieces. I didn't see anything wrong with it; so I decided to put it in the engine. The engine (lichess) gives Nc6 and Nd5 as top two moves. So you're right; there is nothing wrong with moving the knight.

@@osgubben King often doesn't include lines that are more or less equal in strength. It's honestly what makes the channel so good. I think about a5 is that it's partly a psychological move. Black wants to get "his own" play on the queen side; and not just react to whites threats.

I start seeing a pattern here. Vidit lost against Wei Yi (Tata Steel 2024, last round) because he was surprised to see a Colle system, he lost against Pragg's suprise 4... f5! and now against Nepo's surprise Nh2. I've the feeling that Vidit is somewhat weaker against strange oppenings and that his opponents are targeting this.

This opening is a snoozefest compared to many others. Think of some of all-star club-level openings like the Morra Gambit or the Benoni. Remember that club players tend to play against club players, not grandmasters. I would try to not come across as elitist by telling "weaker players" to not play certain openings, because they are incapable to understand them deeply.

@@nilsp9426nah, it is a fairly rich middlegame with asymmetrical structure and minor piece imbalance. there are many variations and plans. Ke7 or Kb7. white can opt for b3 ans Bg2 or thr classic queenside expansion. it is boring because there will be no king insecurity if both players are halfway competent. if not, blacks king may get stuck in a very bad position easily. there are many more boring positions. as an e4 player this is one position I enjoy when QGD is boring af to me. let alone London system... or caro cann, or the brain dead Scandinavian where black posts his queen actively, castles long and repeats some scheme attack he saw in a KZfaq short video.

Why not play Nd5 instead of a5? Looks very logical, trading the f6 night would be great and you prepare Be7.
@robinesperoza 3 ай бұрын
yes; would be mine plan also. The engine even prefers Nc6 (anyway; on low depth). It feel more natural than a5, no? I guess the reason Vidit opted for a5 is that on the long term it gives black chances on the queen side. I guess this gives hopes and keeps white on his toes.
@csarmii 3 ай бұрын
@robinesperoza it gets complicated, cause you can't actually take on f6 and in some variations you need to go Nb4 and even take on a2. But from what I saw, you can play Be7 too, you're in time for that. Feels natural to get your pieces out.

Actually, I think the classical nature of the Berlin does suit Vidit's style. However, what is interesting, looking at the database, is that Vidit has very little experience of this Berlin endgame - his opponents have generally played other lines such as 4 d3. It is quite possible that Nepo and has team spotted that and thought this was worth exploiting.
