Gothamchess deserves a round of applause for his insane work ethic. Watching 6 hour games and immediately putting out videos recapping and condensing them all is crazy. Watching this video, I was able to understand the Pragg and Vidit games a lot more.

I prefer Hikaru's recaps bc for a higher rated player (2100) like me, I can follow his train of thought (at least most of the time) and he provides much better insight into tactics and different variations of the positions. Levy is too beginner friendly imo
"Qe5 wins for prag and loses for vidit" is a wild coincidence given both of their games and opponents today. just heartbreaking for the indians.

@@vincelopez756nah, it's not big difference between bxh2 and nc5 immediately. Position doesn't change much except black doesn't take a pawn, so if you prepared against bxh2 you can basically play the same way against nc5. But maybe I'm wrong and even such a slight difference could confuse a gm. But i think pragg would be out of prep anyway, even if nepo didn't blunder
@matterickson503

It's clear Prag doesn't have it in him to become a world champion just like Fabi. These type of players are fully dependent upon their prep but once the game gets outside of their prep they don't know how to convert unless the position is clearly winning.

Your work is like a great boxing announcer, bringing the event to life. Also, the Prag match reminds me that even great masters blunder from time to time.
This was like the most “Hikaru” game ever. He just got some unremarkable position then posed nagging practical complications for his opponent until they were in time trouble and choked. Pure Hikaruness
