kaushik_msd navara beat gukesh last year
BillTech24 when? Was is not adrej
Ben10Tenyson Magnus would win pragg endgame
BillTech24 adrekin Dmitry ecc when?
IUmyqueen maybe in blitz
BillTech24 Oh ok lol before candidates yep...he definitely strong Navara
Ben10Tenyson Its amazing how giri manages to draw so quick
BillTech24 Anish best defender of this era forget gukesh and karyakin
Benji2 Vincent is winning
IUmyqueen wow a chance for vincent with 1 minute left
BillTech24 Vincent!!!
LordAkali yeah Rd4 is really findable
LordAkali nice
Waldschwarzpfaffe maybe that is his chance. Wow, he found Rd4!
kaushik_msd vincent cooking
Waldschwarzpfaffe if Ra1 then Rxe4 would lose
IUmyqueen 30 second increment is prob enough
kaushik_msd ra1 rf1 will be played
FM Pohjala you are just looking at a "+1" not realizing that +1 is a draw ending
FM Pohjala an exchange up but not much to do there
kaushik_msd Still not winning ofcourse if wei yi plays properly
Knightmare1313 Vincent less than a minute on the clock
kaushik_msd arvindh very bad
Schmobi In such a endgame +1 can practically be nearly winning
Waldschwarzpfaffe it is an imbalance ...
LordAkali with this little time wei yi can easily make another mistake
LordAkali but with perfect play probably still draw yeah
thatkid1234 ???
kaushik_msd now with perfect player keymer wins
LordAkali Rf4 Bg6 Rf3!!
kaushik_msd vincent found it
kaushik_msd gg
kaushik_msd vincent cooking
Waldschwarzpfaffe oh lala
thatkid1234 Vincent wins calling it rn
IUmyqueen still dont think it's that clear imo
thatkid1234 Or draw if he blunders badly
kaushik_msd pretty clear now ig
Knightmare1313 Come on Vincent...! :)
thatkid1234 But Wei will probably not win
kaushik_msd vincent takes this
Waldschwarzpfaffe Vincent can still lose this, too
Hagredion this is stiff far from easy
IUmyqueen now wei yi cannot win anymore
thatkid1234 Ok now Bxd2 Ra1+ Rf1 trade rooks
kaushik_msd how can vincent lose this??
kaushik_msd will be long grind technically winning but not easy
Monopolysuchter3-0 That's a theoretical draw
thatkid1234 Vincent is up a rook and bishop to rook and 2 minors with better king safety
LordAkali yeah still far from easy win especially with low time but with one pair of rooks off there are far less threats he needs to defend
Waldschwarzpfaffe 49. - Ra1 50. R7xf5 d2 and 0-1
thatkid1234 *2 minors not rook and 2 minors
LordAkali no mating ideas for wei yi now
thatkid1234 Go for bishop and knight mate lol
Monopolysuchter3-0 Black can build a fortress
IUmyqueen gg this has got to be a draw
thatkid1234 unless Wei flags
Waldschwarzpfaffe very tricky to hold for Wei Yi
thatkid1234 ??
kaushik_msd Be4 is such a loose move
kaushik_msd whats the point
Waldschwarzpfaffe but that N on g4 is strong
LauraS_03 Very tricky to hold? It is 4.4
spyputs how to break the fortress
Ben10Tenyson Resignable above 900+ lichess
Monopolysuchter3-0 That's going to be Zugzwang
thatkid1234 Alas, it is impossible to pass turn in chess
spyputs without pawns it's usually a draw
IUmyqueen stockfish sees a mating net with rook on the 5 rank and Be1
kaushik_msd i think vincent sees the win
YahyaMete Keymer and Nguyen win
LordAkali oh wow literally just loses the piece
LordAkali Ra5 1-0
IUmyqueen the Night will fall that's crazy
thatkid1234 1-0
kaushik_msd Ra5 vincent crushing
kaushik_msd resigns
kaushik_msd gg vincent
spyputs what a move
Jay0108 No wei Vincent is winning this
Ben10Tenyson Wei yi washed
Planet_CHESS465 Yay
Planet_CHESS465 Nguyen is winning
LordAkali gg
thatkid1234 mate in 22 for vincent
Waldschwarzpfaffe bravo ... like a machine
IUmyqueen wow what a find
Knightmare1313 Great job, Vincent
IUmyqueen could have easily liquidated into a draw but perserverance pays off
spyputs wei blinked with 53.Be4?
spyputs let's see if Nguyen has enough time left to convert
JayStober I left the board for a minute and Wei missed ..Re5, not once but twice. Sad.
kaushik_msd oh nguyen blundered
thatkid1234 did Nguyen flag??
Jay0108 oh oh
IUmyqueen board is slow to update
spyputs what didn't Aravindh like about 66.Kg2 though?
YahyaMete what?
YahyaMete OMG
thatkid1234 OK I just lagged the worst blunder ever
thatkid1234 Draws
GothamChessFan21 blunder that dai van
idkwhattoputforthis '
spyputs the pin by the R prevents f6
Anuraghav draw?
spyputs meaning black is forced to give perpetual
Anuraghav yes
YahyaMete interesting
IUmyqueen 2 decisive results not bad though
spyputs for example 70...Bd6! and if white tries 71.Rc6!? then Qxe2 72.Rxd6 f6 0-1
YahyaMete OMG bro this is a draw
spyputs oh wait 72...Qf1+ is necessary first
Anuraghav 0-1 to 1/2-1/2
YahyaMete Nguyen blunder??
thatkid1234 draw by repetition
spyputs else 73.Qf4 saves white
Deniska_2017 1/2 уеs
FatherJose1234 does nguyen not have qf5+??
YahyaMete Luck
Anuraghav nguyen time low
Anuraghav yes he has
YahyaMete luck draw
YahyaMete go!
YahyaMete Letss

thatkid1234 Isn't that already threefold repetition? Why has the game not drawn?
YahyaMete Lets go draw
FatherJose1234 its a draw on nguyens board
YahyaMete ok draw
Anuraghav 1-0 to 1/2-1/2
thatkid1234 Oh never mind I've just had a massive lag spike
YahyaMete OMG!
Planet_CHESS465 nguyen was about to win
Planet_CHESS465 From 0-1 to 1/2
Planet_CHESS465 Nguyen is my fav player :(
Planet_CHESS465 I was hoping he would win today
OK_4 Wow Keymer is on fire
shawman123 WOW Keymer taking down Wei Yi
shawman123 Wei Yi was among the best players last year
shawman123 But seem to be struggling this year
Lk1416 Maybe Sam and Keymer might be shouting and dancing
Aarav0026 keymer on fire
ThyboSkov Keymer is underrated.
SrihariSrikanth and even you are underrated
ndgzwo Keymer today against aravindh, having white again
