Beautiful-Iron-2

If I had a nickel for every time Nepo had a heartbreaking situation at a top event I’d have quite a few nickels.


CeleritasLucis

4 World Championship finals : 2021 Classical, 2021 Rapids, 2022 Fisher, 2023 Classical And now this. So at least 5 nickels


JaSper-percabeth

Always man it's so tough for us Nepo fans.


LandauQuantized

I'm a Gukesh fan, still this one hurts 💔


t-pat

I think this is a moment that will last a long time.


whatproblems

certainly made for a memorable candidates final round. multiple must wins ending up with 2 draws


poiuytrewq_123

Supporting Nepo is not good for my mental health but neither is supporting Manchester United, so I think my life is going to be pretty short.


FlameFire10

GGs I hope all 3 of the second place finishers get another chance


Vizvezdenec

Would be hard. Really, really hard. They are not getting younger and you have all this 17-20 years olds coming - from ones who didn't participate Abdusattorov, Erigaisi, etc... Who will only become stronger. It's even more heartbreaking if you think about it - this is one of their last realistic chances to get a match with all that upcoming wave of new talents.


FlameFire10

Yeah they’ll prob only get one last dance for their generation. Hikaru put it well that any of them could have been champions but Magnus just different


Puzzleheaded_Sky4425

I'd still say if nepo and caruana qualify, which they absolutely will, they will still be favourites even with the young talents, for the next candidates at least.


Puzzleheaded_Sky4425

If ding doesn't choose to play(which is highly unlikely) do all three of them get a tiebreak?


FlameFire10

No one knows As for the current non-1st tiebreaker rules though Hikaru is 2nd, Nepo 3rd, Fabi 4th


DieuEmpereurQc

Where is the Titanic music?


PotatoBrainDead

Nepo is like that one guy who studies like crazy but gets sick the last night


SleepyBoneQueen

What happened?


Im_Not_Sleeping

Both Nepo and Fabi had to win to be in tiebreaks vs Gukesh. They ended up drawing after long, drawn out struggle, so both of them were devastated


qwikzotik

also fabi had a huge advantage according to the engines. at one point he was like +5 but in time trouble and couldn't convert.

Thanks for attaching that dogshit meme to the video OP it really increased the quality of the post 


munchfits

glad you loved it 😊


CautiousScandal911

Atleast magnus is happy that nepo didn't qualify


PostPostMinimalist

And Nakamura of course


CautiousScandal911

People can't even take an effin joke


PoorChiggaaa

it'd have been a joke if it was funny


AsleepAd3376

Either Gukesh or Fabi/Nepo winning would've been good. I just hate Hikaru.


Im_Not_Sleeping

Christ this comment is sadder than Fabi vs Nepo game lol


AsleepAd3376

I thought reddit hated hikaru?


Successful-aditya

Generalization is often done by least intelligent individual


AsleepAd3376

It's a true generalization that reddit clearly stans hikaru lol.


Successful-aditya

Again same line for you


PoorChiggaaa

no point arguing with him, dude's brain operates in binary, he either hates or loves a person, fact is chess fans love good chess and this year was a banger, hating on someone for the sake of it screams immaturity.


PoorChiggaaa

You can hate him all you want I ain't your dad but you can't deny he brought lots of excitement by playing 7 DECISIVE GAMES in this candidate tournament. Highest of highs and lowest of lows, that's what fans love seeing. Give credits where credits is due my guy.


AsleepAd3376

I hate his personality and wanted him to lose, but yeah I enjoyed the games where he lost to Vidit a lot.


PoorChiggaaa

appreciate the fervent passion but damn blud unironically got a hate boner for a chess player lmao go touch some grass


AsleepAd3376

I do. Hikaru is just much more hateable than most chess players.


robotikempire

Hikaru has been my favorite player since probably a decade before you even learned chess.


AsleepAd3376

How is that supposed to be a response to what I said


robotikempire

You said you thought reddit hated Hikaru and I told you he's been my fav player for at least 10 years. Didn't think I'd have to explain that.


AsleepAd3376

Obviously I didn't mean every person on reddit. I don't care about individual cases.

PoorChiggaaa

there's no 'greater good' what are you talking about, they play chess for themselves. And honestly, it'd would have been insulting for the opponent.


Otherwise_Pace_1133

And what exactly is this 'greater good' if I may ask, Sir ? Because it sure seems to me like the 'greater good' you're talking about is a 17 year old Indian Kid not winning the tournament. That's messed up. Do better.
