Stamina of the mind! I mean, being tired is one thing but the impact of a psychological wound should not be underestimated either. During the game 8 conference: Journalist: "How do you rate your performance today?" Nepomniachtchi: "Ummm... well... in general I'd like to appolagize for today's performance." Journalist: "Why?" Nepomniachtchi: "Aaummm... it was probably far bellow than ummm... not even, let's say, my normal level but in general, I think it was bellow just a GM level." Journalist: "Were you tired after 3, on the third day of playing?" Nepomniachtchi: "No, I don't think it's about being tired. It's like some weird sequence choices but yeah I'm just looking forward for the next games." kzitem.info/news/bejne/qoqp0n6jjXqVZGk Nepomniachtchi seems to be really hard on himself. It's not his responsibility to make sure we are satisfied with his "performance", so he doesn't have to appologize. It's not under a GM level to make mistakes under these intense circumstances; I would argue that it's totally of, if not above, a GM level that he hasn't made worst mistakes. Being physically and emotionally exhausted definetly has to do with this, whether he's willing to admit it or not. It's always an honor for amateurs like me to watch to watch titans like him "perform" regardless of the result. There are people out there who are proud of him unconditionally. He really deserves more kindness than he seemed to be showing himself or allowing other to show him. Nepomniachtchi is a great player and I hope that this championship doesn't affect him for the rest of not just his career but his _life_. Go Nepo! Go Nepo! Go!

It's quite devastating to see something like this happen. But on the other hand, when I watched the Karjakin and Caruana championships, it was a grindfest and I remember not being so interested. But with tries like h5 in an open Petroff followed by Kf8 to avoid a draw, and here having created happiness with an opening that had Magnus grasping for ideas, I think Nepomniatchi really plays in the spirit of the game: looking for new ideas and imbalances to add a certain sense of panache to the entire match. Yes, he's played a couple of blunders, but he gives us matches that we want to watch. Dubov, Naroditsky, Radjabov. These are the players I like to watch, because they like complications and sharp play. I don't think that he has anything to apologize for except trying to play a creative brand of chess. Ivanchuk was famous for many brilliancies but also more than a few instances where he would rapidly lose a match because of his demeanor. But chess enthusiasts should be Ivanchuk fans because he plays in the spirit of chess as art. m.kzitem.info/news/bejne/22hsnpmAq4qmdm0

"Nepo just prepared for openings and tried to win in rapid." I find this an odd statement if it is coming from someone who has an understanding of the philosophy of chess. When you prepare, you can only prepare so far. No player would ever rely solely on openings to win a World Championship, especially against Magnus. And are you saying that every game he played to get himself to the tournament was suddenly wiped from his brain? This is not football where you practice set plays and everything is fluid. It is a tactical game of memory and analysis. Further, in the first five games that were drawn, the commentators were all satisfied with his play and his attempts to mix it up and try things. From a chess perspective, your comment makes no sense.

I suspect that Nepo can't handle the stress of a world championship. It would explain why he keeps leaving the board. It might be an attempt to get away from the board and try to relax. But but leaving the board and playing so fast, Nepo is not thinking as deep into the position as Magnus and making mistakes. And against Magnus, any mistake can be unforgiveable. Unfortunately, at this point, I think Nepo has gone full tilt. He's lost too many games and is probably feeling absolutely crushed. it becomes a vicious cycle, you make a mistake so you lose, you lose so you are feeling crushed so you make more mistakes, so you lose more etc... Psychologically, it will be very difficult for Nepo to recover.

Magnus has been playing almost like an engine, Nepo was on a very similar level in games 1-5 but after the torturous loss of game 6, he has clearly burnt a lot of his mental reserves. The blunders he made in games 8 and 9 were simply terrible (for a world championship-level player). I think after game 8 he was already psychologically beaten, wouldn't be surprised to see Carlsen win another game or two

The psychology of these matches is very interesting. Carlsen has now experienced quite a few world chess championship matches in his life. Nepo has only experienced one. The difference in psychological pressure must be vast.

it's important to make the move in your head , look at it, see where it goes wrong, that's the difference between classical & other time formats , you don't play the move on the board after playing it in your head, as you get to see that it's wrong the initial mistake itself is completely fine
@colinzhu9631
2 жыл бұрын
I think the mistake itself is fine. It is his mindset of failing to verify piece safety before committing a move in this level of match. Nepo rushed to play c5 the moment after Carlsen came back to the table. His lacking of focus is what cost him most. He should have taken his time, sitting tight at table and thinking through, instead of quickly leaving after each move. Carlsen on the other hand shows how focus he is at analyzing positions even when it is not his turn to move - that is exactly the right attitude Nepo needs. If Nepo had a little patience and made Nc5 instead of c5 then the time trouble could finally become real for Carlsen. Blundering a piece like this just gives Carlsen an extremely easy play even if he has only minutes on the clock.

@@RT-hh3vl Every aspiring chess player has these moments but let's try to come up with an explanation. Ian's habits of almost always walking away after moves seems to have him disengaged from the reality of the board. There appears to be a lack of seriousness in his manner by constantly disengaging in this way, and it is affecting his play. Many will say it doesn't matter but the score indicates otherwise and it is an issue, in my humble opinion.

Baloney. Nepo is playing fine, mostly. Two blunders attributable to a momentary lapse in concentration do not prove inexperience. I think it’s just a different time zone and climate. Plus, a few other experienced players have had poor results against Magnus. Nepo is still a top 10.rated player. The challenger was selected some time ago, and some other top 10 players probably would not be down 3 at this point, but that’s no reason to beat up on Nepo.

Magnus's face at C5 was so expressive. He was thinking that this has to be a trap, so brilliant and subtle that he can't see it. So instead of just playing C6 instantly like we all would do, he kept studying the position looking for Nepo's brilliant trap. That also tells you how much he respects Nepo, in that before concluding C5 was a blunder he first assumed assumed it must be brilliant and subtle.
