Ian Nepomniachtchi plays the Nadjorf.

I have no idea, but I just wanted to say (hopefully I don't sound too criticizing) just please post this somewhere else next time. I'm not sure this belongs in the General Chess Discussion forum.

My first thought was Nepo.
Then I thought "The chess coach I'm talking with now is a NM and is charging $30 an hour. There is no way the Candidates champ due to face Magnus in November is giving out 30 dollar lessons."
Then I thought it was a scam. Then I saw the GM badge. Then I googled it. Now I'm here.
He is 2600+ GM and he is not Ian Nepo. He told me this while I was playing games with him.
