All this current chess drama kinda makes me glad that back in 1992, in my only classical win vs. the reigning world champion Garry Kasparov at the time, when I was 18, nobody accused me of cheating after the game. I did earn a nickname of a "biological computer" though 😆

Talking about rating jumps, some people dont know chess history well. I had an elo of 2345 July 1989. July 1990, my elo was ....2650. Just a little bit of a perspective when discussing of what's possible and not.

I have to say, this war is absolute madness and a colossal blunder on the part of the Russian leader. In a chess game, after such blunder, you normaly resign and admit defeat. Its the hardest thing to do because of pride, but it must be done, because human lives are not pawns.

Imho, this needs to be said again. 4 of the world 960 championship participants have been directly seeded into the final 8 event. This is an insult to fair play sportmanship, considering that likely thousands of players had to go through qualification hell. Say no to favoritism.

Got to admit, the world champion masterfully crafted the match game course to his advantages, making sure Nepo is restrained to passive play and unable to play his usual dynamic or aggressive chess. Petroff with black and with white versus Marshall attack. Smart.

Also, such situations should be avoided where players who are guaranteed spots in the Candidates can compete and eliminate players who dont have such luxury. Given that such rules were in effect in the past, this world cup has shown why these were necessary. Bad FIDE 😉

@ghost_of_sasha Selection of the openings at the very top level is more of an art than science, because so many factors go into preparation. Having said that, there are must know openings like Catalan, Grunfeld, Berlin, Italian and etc. that are required "learning" for the 2700+ Elo players.

@Unudurti Yep, an exciting game for sure ! It is included in my selected games book volume 1 if someone wants to read my annotations to it. Though, honestly, a single win compared to numerous losses versus one of the greatest chess players of all time is not a cause for celebration !

Looking at the last few world chess champ matches, it makes me sad that chess at present is 80% preparation and only 20% is about the game.
