Nepomniachtchi’s Bishop is a Beast - 2024 FIDE Candidates

Featured is the dynamic chess game between Ian Nepomniachtchi and Alireza Firouzja from Round 2 of the 2024 FIDE Candidates. After 16 moves in a Ruy Lopez, Berlin Defense we observe multiple imbalances. Nepomniachtchi allows Firouzja to destroy his kingside structure and win a pawn in exchange for obtaining an extremely powerful light-squared bishop.

    Hey Jerry, big fan of your channel--you helped me improve my ELO quite a bit. However, when you're covering a variation such as a hanging pawn or piece that is poison, *please please please* explain why it is poison *first, before* you go over the deeper ideas behind the gambit of that piece or pawn. The deeper ideas don't have any bearing whatsoever if either side just blunders a piece, so I think you should save those for *after* you discuss why the piece or pawn was poison. You used to do it in that order in your older videos, but in your newer videos you started going into massive detail on the deeper ideas before showing the reason why the pawn/piece is poison. The result is some players would be scratching their head wondering "wait why can't you just take it" until you eventually get to the reason why it's poison. Love your videos, you're one of my favorite educational chess channels out there alongside The Chess Giant, HangingPawns, and Daniel Naroditsky.

    Allways a pleasure to hear your "cool" voice and commentary. A really sharp game, when Neppo could show his best chess in an open position, sacrificing a pawn and accepting a smashed position infront of his king to dominate blacks knights on the queen-side and remaining with the bishop pair. Regards from Slovakia.

    There is such a thing as "positional compensation". Having the white bishop pair in a semi-open position that can easily open up, open lines towards the black kingside for rooks and bishops, and having the black knights out of position and in control can compensate for the the positional deficits. I mean, give this position to Tal and he would have a field day.

    Are you playing in the candidates this year? What's your rating? What chess title have you got? If you answer to those questions is "no", "less than 2400", and anything other than GM, then you really are in no position to be judging someone who's a top 5 player in the world. You just sound like a hypercritical keyboard warriortyping from the top of Mount Stupid of the Dunning-Kruger curve.
