What a game! If draws then only like this! Brilliancies on brilliancies, only correct moves, dynamic positions with incredible complications
Hikaru really looked like he DID care.

Such a great game, and loved the sportsmanship and mutual respect evident between Hikaru and Ian in their immediate post-game chat.

Kramnik: Hikaru trying to grab an invisible mouse…I think anyone would find that interesting
I like how Hikaru is going all out against everybody. He is the most exciting player so far...
Always love when these two play
Love Robert's enthusiasm for the draw!!
Too much for my 2 bit brain cell.
What a fantastic game. My two favourite players playing accurate yet swashbuckling moves all the way through. Superb fun, a draw is the right result with both operating at such a high level.
Hikaru is the most emotionally transparent player in all of chess.

NEPOOOO
obviously i know why but i love that in any other sport the "final moments" would be a 1 or 2 minute clip and in chess it's a 20 minute long watch haha
Very tough battle, here!
Hikaru missing a4 idea.And he drew.😢
hahaha these camera angles
Amazing game i love it game attack attack attack ...goodjob ian nepo and hikaru
just spectacular
Nepo is always gangsta until Magnus enters the room
This one hurt
Nepo shall win it yet again this year
At 13:54 someone commented that Nepo had the plot armor LMAO
Hikaru doesn't need an engine. Insulting in the commentating part.
Whe needs a. d il do when you have magic thermos 😅
if he thinks hikaru could stay world champ for a long time he needs to start investing more time into his hobbies
Hikaru was probably really relieved when he got the draw.

Once you can see the 2d board who cares. I don't think anyone really uses the camera picking up the 3d board to analyze do they? Sure if you have no 2d board it may suffice but 3d board can be tough to make out.

Not all draws are equal. Ian had to play a sequence of perfect moves including two sacrifices being already down on material, and those moves aren't obvious. He had to calculate quite far ahead to see it works.

This game was interesting as Nakamura was on a good advantage with up on time and with a one mistake Nepomniatchtchi found a tactical draw sequence by sacrificing many pieces. You know if this wouldn't be a perpetual Nakamura would've won the game but that's what nepo calculated that it would end in a perpetual check. This was probably the best game yet in the whole candidates.
