I found it fascinating how Giri (the world's #6) couldn't figure out the idea behind it. and yet it's obvious once you see it. to me that's the type of beauty in chess that's reminiscent of Bobby Fischer and his approach. aggressive, positional, far-sighted, clean, and looking easy in retrospection (unless you try to replicate it yourself)

@@spirituallyjazzy I think Nepo personality is ill suited to long grinds which is what classical World Chess Championship is a lot. I mean when he has a chance to get that perpetual or equalize he had like an hour on the clock and he moves his bishop after only 3 minutes. That … just won’t do. No way Magnus or really any other top 10 player would do that. You sit and you calculate. Especially if you have time. That’s why during chess commentary the time on the clock provides such critical context and really that info should somehow be conveyed. He inexplicably rushed the move and the line that would have saved him, while not obvious, was WELL within his abilities to find given some thought. Nepo tends to do this when things are very tense. Remember what Magnus said? “He plays bad moves quickly.” Harsh but not inaccurate and in this game led to his undoing. That’s what he was so upset. I just pray this doesn’t put him on tilt like last year.

When playing against Magnus there is weight of history because you know of you make smallest mistake you likely will lose. It’s part of Magnus effect. At the super GM level if you really want to you can steer game into very equal and drawish lines. This is inevitably what occurs against Magnus because of how deadly he is. Here Nepo and Ding respect each other but there isn’t this feeling that one mistake is certain defeat. Thus both sides are willing to take some more chances. If they played like this against Magnus they may be down 2 points in four games and match is already over.

And those who think that world #1 should be world champion - Kasparov retired as #1 and wasn't a champion. Later Anand was champion when he was not #1, nobody questioned his crown.

Your comment about the recent tendency of GMs to avoid forcing lines reminds me of the speech Milan Vukovic gave in his HOF acceptance speech (must have been around 1999 or so), where he predicted, among other things, that in the future, high-level chess would be less reliant on theory and be more combative and messy. It would appear that things are playing out as he predicted, perhaps because he foresaw that strong computers would negate theoretical chess to an extent.

A very captivating match. But it should be noted and been noted in these videos that both players in this match have largely chosen not to engage in theoretical disputes which is not typical of highest level competition. There is a reason why theory becomes more critically important at ever higher levels of competition, it's because errors are that more consistently punished without given a second chance. Theory typically means a certain degree of control and predictability in the position achieved. I can see why both players can feel that their personal strengths in over the board analysis can be a superior strength... Ding has played relatively few games in his professional career that doesn't start with d4 and Nepo is especially creative but I wonder if lack of preparation due to Magnus' delayed announcement he'd be abdicating and wouldn't be playing in this Championship Match means that supporting teams didn't have enough time to gather, gel and formulate the usual strategy and repertoire challengers bring to this kind of competition. It's that lack of preparation that's probably the reason for the high number of decisive results. One side isn't necessarily disfavored, but both players probably had less time than usual to prepare for a known opponent (Carlsen) and both players are essentially Challengers in more than just their competitive name.
