@@aa01blue38 I don't think Gukesh would have beaten Fabi (or any remaining contenders) in a rapid tie break. Anish Giri thought the same as well as others. Playing an entire game with a short time frame is not the same thing as playing the last stages of sharp game with low time. Gukesh usually takes sufficient time to set up the position and forcing lines he is looking for. This would be needed for a World Championship win.

Watched this live, and when the eval bar shot up for White twice, late in the game, not only could Fabi not find the win either time, neither could any of the three commentators, two of them grandmasters. I wouldn't call either missed win a "blunder"...if three masters under zero pressure can't find the winning move, then it's no shame that Fabi also couldn't find it with just a minute on the clock. This was ridiculously exciting to watch live.

Crazy when you think how incredibly Gukesh recovered from disappointment in prague where he was frequently getting worse positions, failing to convert winning ones and even lose. He came all the way to candidates to where he was never severely worse in any games he drew, was better in the game he lost and apart from that abasov game w/white where he missed 4 wins all his won games have been convincing. Even against nakamura today he was outplaying before finally deciding to trade queens. He really has that elite mentality required for an individual to reach the absolute top. Gukesh vs Ding will be very exciting. Everyone only wants one thing now: An inform Ding Liren for the world championship. Otherwise, its just a matter of time b4 my man's gonna fulfill his dreams.

Yes--the vibe live is even more intense because the grandmaster commentators are hanging on the eval bar.

I have learned so much during this tournament about gutting out a draw. Normally draws are boring, but many of the draws in this tournament were inspiring because one of the players had to fight like a lion to achieve the draw after falling behind in the middle game. This culminated in Nepo's achievement today. Against anyone else in the world Fabi would have won, but Nepo just would not give in to defeat -- even though only pride was at stake, since he could not catch Gukesh with a draw. But pride alone drove Nepo on to grasp a draw out of what appeared to be a losing position. And many other games like that in the tournament too. As for me, when I fall behind, I stay behind. Maybe it's time for me to show a braver heart and more fortitude.

​@@GeraldM_inNC You don't have to be a chess expert to understand that after a very exhausting tournament, winning a tricky position in time trouble isn't easy. Most of the experts never made it to the candidates, let alone were in Fabi's nerve wrecking spot, so what do they really know? The commentators stated how nervous they were, how must it have felt for Fabi? The guy who had prepared for this moment for months/years, sitting in the spotlight, cameras pointed at him, and no evaluation bar in sight. At that point it's not about chess but Fabi's mental state. As in any spot, you're smarter in hindsight. Usually the experts and journalists make a lot of drama out of it, kind of riding the high horse and acting like smartasses. That often becomes apparent by the statements they make and questions they ask to the athletes. I have the same impression about many chess experts and commentators. I guess the simplest analogy are penalties in football (soccer). In training you'd have no problem scoring most of the times, but in a champions league final, shooting the deciding penalty, is much more difficult. Of course, any player should be able to score a penalty, but depending on the situation and your mental state, it becomes the hardest thing of your life.

A great day for us Indians that Gukesh created history. But let's not forget that the 2 favourites of this tournament played the most incredible game of the tournament to close it out. Fabi and Nepo just showed what happens when 2 top players go all out and play for a win. In the end, it just had to be a draw😊

Glad to see the civil audience of agad's chess channel. The racism in the chess24 chat was unbearable.

Thank you for your excellent coverage which made an exciting event even more enjoyable.

Dude! I am improving!! My chess were shitty at there best, but I found myself improving a lot. Even in some recent games, the stupid Silicon overlord sometime rates me as 'almost 2000' in Rapid games! Thanks to you. My analysis and tactics improved a lot. I am in your debt. Missing your Rapid plays a lot too. 😢

Easy for Ding. He will retain his world championship title.

Antonio, at 15:25 Fabiano would've not been up a pawn. The material would've been equal.

Thanks, great video! You are a master of suspense!

Fabi's 39.Bh7?? was a terrible move, even in time pressure. It was clear even to me (FIDE 1985) that Nepo would suddenly have chances by giving up the exchange. Fabi's 41.Ka1? was not easy to find . . . but he did have the extra 30 minutes at that time and only spent a couple of minutes making this move. I hate to say it, but Caruana choked at the key moments in this game (he later missed a win with the Qe8+, Qe2+ plan).

I wonder if it would have been as clear to you if you had been playing 5-7 hours of high stress, high level chess almost everyday for the past 3 weeks, and had gone through all the same highs and lows fighting for a dream you've fought for your entire life. But of course we'll never know.

For me, that was the move that cost him the game. He never recovered from it. Terrible move.

He was extremely low on time and Bh7 isn't that terrible. It is not objectively best, but white still has the advantage and it could be converted to win. My guess is that he wanted to simplify the position by going into an endgame being up the exchange. Once they reached move 40, he choked hard and that alone shows he does not deserve it. He had the time and blundered.

Thank the chess gods we don’t have Ian vs Ding part 2. Congratulations to Gukesh!! Early prediction: I do think Ding will retain his title, but the 2nd coming of Anand is very welcomed!

26:55 Here Rook to E7, which is the only move that doesn't win ! Had me rollin!

Good for Gukesh, he played good chess and astonishinhlg achievement at his age. Having said that, the candidates is a bit of a "lottery", the element of luck being in the order of the games and other results. It's a very different game when one has to play against you with white or black, indifferent, looking for a draw or only for a win. And someone is always luckier than others in results and order of a limited set of games that other people played between them.

Gukesh-D is absolutely crazy. I wonder how Gukesh will be when he gets promoted to A.

The genius talent wins. Nepo failed with his two draws against Abasov. Fabi had a great opportunity to equalize with Gukesh, it’ll haunt him for years

I was afraid you wouldn't post this on time for me to watch it eating dinner,thank you

Have you considered using an Eval Bar during your videos? I watched these games live and the wild swings back and forth from a winning position to level back to winning and so on was so crazy. It would really enhance the viewing if you could see exactly what was going on.

Next Gen incoming ❤

Can’t pretend I saw it coming but there’s a tenacity about Gukesh that I can only compare to Magnus. Ian is too rash, Fabiano is not a killer under pressure while Hikaru is a streamer. All hail Gukesh

@jerrybaustian5256

Ian is too rash? I would say he was too willing to settle for draws. Gukesh and Hikaru had 5 wins, Fabi had 4 wins, but Nepo only had 3.

truly incredible

I believe the Caruana/ Nepo contest deserved more attention. That game was absolute madness

Nepo Didn't miss the queen Move ... He saw its draw by force.. and he needed a win ...

So, it's India vs China... Pray for Ding, his life is on the line 😭🙏

Ding will be fine, he better in thou otherwise the chess community will become really insufferable

Ok just watched your video the day after the candidates was over because i just couldn't handle it yesterday. I can't imagine how the players felt after that.

Every time Agad asks "but who would find such a move?", I keep thinking that Magnus probably would have. It's the difference between him and the rest

A tight slap to all the racists by Gukesh. Now the championship is between Gukesh and Ding, two Asians.

Big congratulations to Gukesh on winning the Candidates tournament. And thank you Antonio for this fabulous coverage of the tournament.

as a huge Fabi fan from India, i can't process so many different feelings at once lol

I don’t think I’ve enjoyed any chess analysis video like this one. Simply marvelous

Fabi had 3 chances to win and I think his third chance was the easiest to find. I think he could easily have calculated the checks needed to pick up the h2 pawn. But in such time trouble, I think he was convinced the way to win was promotion, so he was really focused on figuring out how to escort his own pawn to a queen. Congrats Gukesh.

some probability analysis of how the chances of winning the Candidates (incl. potential tiebreaks) changed during the last rounds of the match: After round 10 11 12 13 Nepo: 28.6% 47.3% 30.0% 11.1% Hikaru: 13.5% 23.6% 32.7% 22.2% Fabiano: 13.8% 7.5% 8.4% 11.1% Gukesh: 27.1% 19.5% 28.9% 55.6%

Was waiting for your analysis

Thanks, Antonio for your coverage of the Candidates' Tournament which was an exciting event full of drama and fantastic matches, congratulations to Gukesh he played fantastic chess, the rest of the players now should regroup and prepare for the next CT, some of them will be back.

25:10 you do have discoveries here. Nc1+ is a double check so queen hanging is not an issue.

Wow gukesh ❤amazing 🎉🎉 congratulations 🥳🥳🥳
