futuregm2002 an amazing player with a lack of training
chesspawnrookking is that nepo gets tired after 6 rounds?
Halli606 2 results
Halli606 no more
CeoAtGettingMated poor nepo
Ben10Tenyson Maybe nepo will hang knight
Decorator125 Theoretically, can Nepo win?
jarek_82 you him, take this, he take you this, you draw, game over
futuregm2002 no way
Halli606 ofc he can win
Halli606 it just requires a mistake
Bongus_Cloudsen Nepo so good at his peak form but he's been blundering a ton recently
chesslittleY they should install tablebase in their brains
Jungleman22 he may bring the king down to attack the rook
silicon4oxide If Nc4 is draw then levon can keep checking
chesspawnrookking if aronin plays for a win he loses
futuregm2002 did he just hang his bishop
jarek_82 ahmad, tea, let me see
jarek_82 i bought, "something called, "prince of wales"
jarek_82 i worry, a bit
Decorator125 The knight will take the pawn.
jarek_82 yunnan , "in georgiva they have the same thing,
chesspawnrookking yeah Nh4 should have been found with 40 min on the clock
Jungleman22 looks like at the end of the line Black will be able to sack the rook for bishop
chesslittleY when white king attacking rook blunder is coming
jarek_82 batumi, black
treodorul Ra1 only move for a draw for levon
treodorul else losing
Monsen198 is this possible to check mate with a bishop and a knight?
Jungleman22 Black ends up having to sac the rook for bishop
Jungleman22 to draw
treodorul nah
jarek_82 i give you , a solid advertisment,"in our shop, chechen has, bought all , "
futuregm2002 thoughts on mr morale and the big steppers
treodorul he can just constantly check ian
Al_ex_2010 в ничью свел ну как так
Ben10Tenyson Shakhriyar is getting lots of decisive results
jarek_82 "they, sold it out, from shop, "yerba, tea, en saqitos,
Decorator125 It seems to me that Stockfish does not understand the game well. White must win.
ndgzwo Lol
jarek_82 Astra,
ndgzwo its a draw
chesspawnrookking that is a very subtle resourse
Ben10Tenyson Caruana and alireza are only candiates to not be on - score
treodorul @Decorator125 how?
Jungleman22 Ke6 and rook sac, beatiful saving resource
Decorator125 White will turn the pawn into a queen.
ndgzwo Position with King+Bishop vs King and pawns on b6 and b7 is a draw
chesspawnrookking two only moves and none of them checks
treodorul yea
chesspawnrookking or entirely simple
treodorul i dont think levon will find them tho
chesspawnrookking but findable
ndgzwo So Levon will sac his rook against knight at a certain point
treodorul prob white wins
Halli606 Rb1+ Kc2 is very obviously bad
ndgzwo Or drive white king very far away
chesslittleY now is the tough decision
jarek_82 ah, "imported from poznan,
chesspawnrookking he needs to find Ke6 Rc1!!
jarek_82 very daubtful
ATShame lol would be fun if we got bishop + knight checkmate
ATShame but probably not
Halli606 we never get those, even if it happens
Halli606 people resign
jarek_82 "in Poznan, "you will be defeated, no matter who you are
ATShame yeah I know
chesspawnrookking this should become a puzzle
jarek_82 in wroclaw, "you will bankrupt, no matter what you do
ndgzwo Levon "all your endgame are belong to us" Aronian
Halli606 Ive seen like 10 top games where we could see N+B but it doesnt happen
Halli606 fx Carlsen vs Duda Wijk 2019
jarek_82 but, if you want to know, "you dont need to be defeated, to be a bankrupt
snoozy1 idea of Rc1xc7 or Rc1-c6xb6 followed by Kb6 is nice
snoozy1 *Kc6
Decorator125 Levon will not be able to make normal moves when there is less than a minute.
ATShame lmao well yeah I'm sure Levon would trust that Nepo knows how to checkmate with bishop and knight lmao
treodorul top stockfish choice here by levon
chesslittleY why ke6 is draw but ke7 is lost according to human
chesspawnrookking can he do it?
ATShame he can
Halli606 no need for SF here
Ben10Tenyson Nepo might not know knight bishop mate
Halli606 Ke7 allows Be5 in the future
chesspawnrookking and Bb2!!
Halli606 after Nxb7 Rc1
jarek_82 "chechen , started , writing on the walls, "word, Ni Men,
chesspawnrookking thats why not Ke6
WantedElectus he surely know
ndgzwo Great end game saver by Levon
jarek_82 in 2018,
chesspawnrookking no Rb1 skewer
JohannesBrahms nepo playing too fast
jarek_82 and, in 2022, we know, "ni men, zu zao,
FunnyGrapes levon has seen the draw
jarek_82 means, "do you have a apartment
Halli606 Be5 here would be great!
chesspawnrookking and now all is draw
Halli606 if not for Kx lol
isuck69420 sac exchange
Decorator125 Even I would have won this position for white.
chesspawnrookking xd
ATShame lmao
treodorul no you wouldnt
ATShame of course
Monsen198 nice joke
isuck69420 guys i will be 2700 in one year from now. i will play tihs tournament next year
s2numbuq35i Kb4?
Halli606 tbh just low quality play in this tournament over all compared to other supertourneys
Al_ex_2010 ничья
groovyhassle Bd8
Halli606 throughtout the last years
chesspawnrookking sort of yes
Bongus_Cloudsen Nepo could still win maybe it's near impossible though
Halli606 well where is a move where you can even try as white
Halli606 I dont see one
ATShame he can try I guess
Al_ex_2010 1/2-1/2
chesspawnrookking since the K in on b3 there is no Nc5 Nb3
isuck69420 nc5 trust me its winning
ATShame idk probably I would try to walk my king to the 8th rank somehow
treodorul nc5 is a draw according to SF
ItsRudra wassup nojoke
ItsRudra lm saint
Halli606 @AtShame you have to defend directly againts Rxc7 now
chesslittleY brilliant draw
ATShame everything is a draw here according to sf
jarek_82 Wo men, "can be question , or confirming
chesspawnrookking but if Kb4 maybe could turn into a win
jarek_82 Wo bu, "i dont, or i cant
coome I hope levon sees the stalemate
ATShame @Halli606 oh yeah good point
Halli606 Nd6 stops that but then you have Rb1+ - Rxb6
Decorator125 Aronian wants to take the bishop. It must be removed urgently. On d8.
isuck69420 who would win 1000 nepos vs 1 stockfish
Palizaha Ian should really quit chess
ATShame yeah every time you don't manage to convert a winning endgame you should definitely quit chess
yuri-stremel how can this ppsiti0n be a draw? chess is so ridiculous man
Halli606 I dont see a move where you can even continue for 2 more moves
Bongus_Cloudsen lol he's just having a bad case with blunders
Valyria_91 1350 andys on lichess telling Ian to stop playing chess
Valyria_91 actually weird
Bongus_Cloudsen i feel he'll come back stronger in the future
Bongus_Cloudsen hopefully
chesslittleY there confirms bishop > knight
chesspawnrookking interesing if B and N trade places there is Be4!
chesspawnrookking but then Rxc7 works all the same
chesspawnrookking =
chesspawnrookking nice find
what3ver whatttt
ATShame aight gg
what3ver holyyy
treodorul draw
treodorul wow
Luisgvv ayyyyy
s2numbuq35i gg
treodorul kinda expected
chesslittleY good endgame
TheSparkCraft f
chesspawnrookking nepo needs tactics
treodorul poor ian tho, he couldve won here
treodorul unfortunetly he cant use stockfish in the game
chesslittleY he missed nh4
majdaburas that happened so fast
treodorul yea
treodorul exactly
Al_ex_2010 (
ndgzwo Leiner with a nice QGA win as black
ndgzwo Good opening
Bongus_Cloudsen hopefully Nepo knows Knight + Bishop mate
ndgzwo Lol
ndgzwo If only he had knight and bishop
