Yeah, but to be fair Guki just needs a draw and he wins the candidates. Fabi, Nepo and Hikaru need a win, but I’m not sure that’s going to happen. They’ve pretty much drawn out most of their games, it’s the wins vs the weaker players that matter. Hikaru also has a decent chance because a win for him means loss for Guki and he’s white, but idk. My gut tells me Guki will win the tournament.

More Capablanca than Fischer but that was simply an astonishing display of calm under pressure by Gukesh. He is the real deal.

Great title for this video 😅😊wow what an exciting tournament 👏

19:10 position gave me scare of the lifetime being an Indian. Thank god that Gukesh sniffed that move in advance. And yes had Gukesh fallen for that trick, which wasnt completely impossible given the low time on clock, it would have been a scar to bear forever. Even for Indian fans. Thank you Agadmamtor for nice analysis. Kudos.

I calculated the probability of each player winning : Gukesh : 5/9 (56%) Hikaru : 2/9 (22%) Fabi : 1/9 (11%) Nepo : 1/9 (11%) That is assuming the following : 1: both game have a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 chance of being drawn or won by player 1 or won by player 2. 2: In a tie break, each player has 1/2 chance to win against the other. Interesting to note that the pairings matter : Hikaru is twice as likely to win as Fabi and Nepo even though they have the same score.

Excellent performance by Gukesh one more time....Way to go under pressure....

I was in school , when Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky match was played , probably in Iceland . We used to read match details with moves in newspapers after 2 days . Professional chess players were few .

Nepo drawing vs Abasov with white really came to haunt him now. He needs a win vs none other than Fabi, with the black pieces to boot, if he wants to have a chance at the world title.

Ian is playing to not lose - Gukesh is playing to win - Fabiano is terrified he MIGHT win - Hikaru has awoken from his drunken slumber of being a faux KZread "superstar" to realise he is in a chess tournament - should be interesting final round - impressed with Gukseh overall - how can you not be ? - last round will be tough on everyone - clear favourite ? - hmmmmmm - HIKARU for the win over Gukesh in a nailbiter - Ian over Fabiano - tie-breakers - Ian vs Hikaru - HIKARU falls off his chair as he realises he just won the CANDIDATES

Nice work

At 5:09 the black pawn is undefended right? Isn't it just a free pawn for Gukesh to take? I'm new to chess so please explain why he opted to trade bishops instead

I've a very solid prediction on Nakamura vs Gukesh. Nakamura is white, Gukesh is black. High chances of winning belongs to Naka. Gukesh can seriously hold for a draw, or even beat Naka if Naka pushes too hard for a win (This thing is most probably, as when Naka pushes too hard for a win he loses many times) But, I got a thing which is most likely to happen. Hikaru is going to play some weird lines so that Gukesh starts taking his time. Nakamura is going to blitz out his moves. Gukesh can lose because he is tired due to his game against Firouzja that lasted for almost 6 hours. Hikaru on the other hand made a quick draw and go to his room to prepare. Hikaru has the upper hand here. Also, it is worth noting that when Hikaru pushes too hard for a win, he wins 90% of the time.

Hope gukesh wins it all! If only had he won the first time also against alireza, he would have won the tournament now already!

Gukesh will be crushed by Hikaru but that shouldn't discourage him. That is my way of motivating him to make history😂

Gukesh will not force for win, Hikaru, who have nothing to lose, will go all out against Gukesh with forcing lines and lead to a decisive result. India is eagerly waiting for the result to go in favour of Gukesh, irrespective of Nepo Fab clash, to unherald the new Candidates champion 🤞🙌

Hikaru, Fabi and Nepo will need to go all in for a win in the next round. Gukesh will pretty much go all in for a win too but also has the option to settle for a draw as a last resort. The only way there isn’t a tiebreak is if Gukesh beats Hikaru.
