@@InnovativePandanot really fair to Nepo.. he got crushed by Carlsen, who's arguably the greatest ever. he blundered badly a few times against Liren, but the match was very close, only decided by the fourth tiebreak game. and Liren is not a pushover, he'd had an unbeaten streak of 100 classical games on the top level, only Carlsen achieved a longer streak.

The reason I’m rooting for Nepo is not just he is brilliant and super cute, he has depth and drama to him. Rised like a phoenix after 2 painful losses. Broadly educated, not just in chess, well-read in classical literature. Also he’s been called a ‘traitor’ in Russia for being against the war. Unlike young Indian players who are praised in their homeland (rightly), Ian is not supported by his country’s government (unjustly). in fact the official chess federation in Russia didn’t support him financially or with preparation, called a traitor because he and other 44 GMs signed a letter to the President against the war in 2022. I learned it from a couple of long interviews and a documentary about Ian turning to his hometown of Bryansk and meeting his first coach. Really interesting stuff
