I have so much respect for Antonio that he doesn't ruins our enjoyment by setting catchy thumbnails or titles which spoil or even hint the result of the match. He even envy who haven't seen the match but never spoils the result so I can watch the match with full enthusiasm! Huge respect for this. Really huge because a creator exists on youtube whom I had to unfollow because his video titles and thumbnails were spoiling the result for me everything!

This has been so much more interesting than any other championship from my chess watching era (which is 3 Magnus defenses). It’s sad that it took Magnus deciding not to defend his title for us to get an interesting match. Ding and Nepo are both worthy of winning this, and the fact that they play completely different styles and have completely different personalities has made tho very fun to watch.

2nd comment: 2016 WCC - This is relevant to the 2023 WCC. Please agad cover either of the decisive games of the Sergey Karjakin vs Magnus Carlsen 2016 WCC (Games 8 and 10, preferably Game 8 since Magnus lost). #suggestion What happened is that Magnus lost to Sergey AS WHITE in Game 8 but then compensated for a white loss with A WHITE WIN in Game 10. This is what happened to Ding Liren & Nepo for Games 2 & 4 of the 2023 WCC. Fun fact for Game 8 - 'After the game Carlsen was visibly uncomfortable and left the press conference before it began, potentially incurring a fine of 5% of his prize money to the organizers Agon, and a further 5% to FIDE.[59] FIDE released a statement the following day indicating that the penalty would be imposed.[61] The fine was reduced on appeal to 5% of the prize money (2.5% to Agon and 2.5% to FIDE).[62]' For Game 10: Wesley So has some interesting thoughts that DEFY STOCKFISH, as Wesley So did in 2021 St Louis Chess 9LX with the move that won the chessc*m 2021 move of the year award. (Wesley So thinks white 'still had an edge' even though the computer says black is slightly winning.) Some maths: Why doesn't a drawn match go to the player w/ more black wins (if any) s.t. Sergey Karjakin not Magnus Carlsen is 2016 WCC? Surely a black win is worth more than a white win. But you might argue 2 draws with black amounts to a win with black. Does it? No question about it in chess960, where there's no theory. In chess? Gestalt psychology says the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. --- Other suggestions: Women's chess A - Was Kg6 in Dina's 1st GM slaying game in Reykjavik sexism? Like looking down on Dina? B - Anna Cramling's dad beats Mikhail Tal. #suggestion C - Philippine women's chess #suggestion - WGM Janelle Frayna, the female Wesley So, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bela Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz. There's a 13-move UNDERPROMOTION puzzle here. [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "6k1/6b1/1p1P3p/6pP/3pPpP1/p2NqP2/6K1/5Q2"] 1. Qd1 a2 2. Qb3+ Kf8 3. d7 Qe2+ 4. Nf2 Ke7 5. Qd5 Kd8 6. Qe6 Bf6 7.

But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on. P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See xcdhgq

Edit: here’s the link to the agadmator video Im referencing in this comment kzitem.info/news/bejne/yKhrvp-eppuSZoY The game you’re thinking of is Vladimir Kramnik’s win against Levon Arionan in round 3 of the 2018 candidates tournament. You made a video on it and remarked that after the game, we would think it was played in 1959 and would have definitely won the brilliancy prize. I always used to watch your channel and loved how you used to romanticize the old masters’ games, and hearing you compare that to a modern game really made me realize the magic is still alive in chess. It is one of your most memorable videos and one I’ll never forget. I just find it humorous that it’s such a blurry memory to you, and so clear to me.

I think it's time they remove the stalemate rule. Stalemate should be considered check mate.
