| Jan-27-11 | | Eyal: <24 Bf3 concedes the counterpart of Black's powerful Queen's Bishop for a N and creates a weak pawn on f3. Black has a threat of 24...Ng3+ but the centralization 24 Qd4! may answer it.> The centralization 24 Qd4?? actually loses immediately: 24...Ng3+! 25.hxg3 (25.Kg1 Nfg5) Nxg2 winning Be3 or Re1. Other attempts to preserve the bishop pair would fail as well, e.g. 24.Nd4 Ng5! or 24.Bd3? Nxg2! 25.Kxg2 Ra4!! 26.Qxa4 Nc3+ (lines pointed out by Shipov). Both 23...Nh4! and 25...Qd7!! (removing the pin on the e-file, preparing Ra4 and then Qg4) were really star moves by Nepomniachtchi, and he had to see them quite in advance, because they're necessary to justify his previous aggressive play. For example, 25...Nf6? just loses to 26.Bg5 Qd7 27.Bxf6 gxf6 28.Qf4. Of course, the knight can't be taken on move 26, because after 26.fxe4 Ra4 White loses the queen or gets mated: 27.Qc3 Bxe4+ and next the queen comes to g4. |

| Jan-27-11 | | rapidcitychess: <Domdaniel> You can't be Chinese and use a fork! In China, a royal fork is called a royal chopstick. |
|
| Jan-27-11 | | Jim Bartle: So if they're driving and there are two roads, it's called a chopstick in the road? |
|
| Jan-27-11 | | rapidcitychess: <JB> No. They say it in chinese. :) |

| Jan-28-11 | | Ulhumbrus: <The centralization 24 Qd4?? actually loses immediately: 24...Ng3+! 25.hxg3 (25.Kg1 Nfg5) Nxg2 winning Be3 or Re1.> This suggests that the attack 23..Nh4 is a sound attack based upon a positional advantage, in which case it will probably win against any defence. Looking at the either side's state of development, most of Black's pieces are placed better than their White counterparts, and this may add up to a winning advantage. |

| Jan-29-11 | | freeman8201: har har.... This is the same way Ian won back in 2003: in a BK vs RK endgame with pawns and colors reversed. |
|
| Aug-22-11 | | MartijnvanWingerden: I think that if white hadn't play 48.c4 he had a good chance too win. 48.Qe2 looks much better for me. Lets see what Tarrasch has to say. It looks that Qe2 and Qf3 both loose too Qg4. |
|
| Sep-15-15 | | ajile: <outplayer: 25...Qd7 is a cool move. the knight can't be taken although i didn't see the entire variation.> If 26.fxe4 Ra4!! is crushing. To avoid mate White has to lose his queen.

|
| Jun-20-19 | | SChesshevsky: Was great technique. Pretty consistent throughout the game. I thought 33...Qc8 was maybe not first to consider but was really clever. |

Black played 66...Rd7 and White resigned.
Nevertheless, according to the powerful engine Stockfish 14, Black had a forced mate in 20 moves after 66...Kg4! Just out of curiosity, it would be interesting to see how the engine achieves mate in exactly twenty one moves from this position playing against itself:
So let us see. If it is true what SF14 announces, then mate must be delivered on move 87. Off we go: 66...Kg4 67.h6 (the pawn was lost anyway) Rd2+ 68.Kg1 Kg3 69.Kf1 (only move except for Bh4+ after which mate would be achieved sooner) gxh6 70.Bb4 Rd5 71. Ke2 Kg2 72.Bc3 Rd6 73.Ke3 h5 74.Kf4 h4 75.Be5 Rg6 76.Kf5

76...Rg3! (mate in 12) 77.Bd6 h3 78.Ke4 h2 79.Bxg3 Kxg3 80.Kd4 Kf4 81.Kd5 h1=Q+ 82.Kd4 Qc6! (instructive for beginners) 83.Kd3 Qc5! (notice that the quickest way to checkmate a lone king with queen and king is by placing the queen in such a square that if it were a knight it would be check) 84.Kd2 Ke4 85.Ke2 Qc2+ 86.Kf1 Kf3 and mate next move. |

| Apr-18-24 | | VictorVonDoom: 10 years later, these 2 rise in ratings until they face each other in the world championship and they put up a great fight until Nepo collapses after the legendary game 6 |
|
| Apr-18-24 | | fabelhaft: <10 years later, these 2 rise in ratings> Actually, Carlsen was already #1 at the time, while Nepo rose from #15 to #5 in these ten years. |

 | | Teyss: Good palindrome fitting the game, would have been even better if it had been played when Carlsen was World Champion after 2013. Yes, Nepo did beat him a few times then. |
|

| | offramp: I didn't realise it was a palindrome. I thought it was just a good joke. |

 | | beatgiant: <offramp> Where's the joke? Does "Nepo Saw K" reference the Sack of Naples or something? |

| | offramp: <beatgiant: <offramp> Where's the joke? Does "Nepo Saw K" reference the Sack of Naples or something?> Yeah something about Nepo. I really liked it. Obviously Nepo saw something. It REALLY tickled my ribs in a big way. It could be that Nepo saw a sack of used nappies... that would be off-the-scale! |
|
Jul-15-24
| | offramp: Something about Ian Nepomniachtchi went for a walk (while Carlsen was thinking) and he went and had a look out the back yard and he found an open sack of nappies and he had a look into it 😂 💩. |
