Ian Nepomniachtchi is JUST so UNLUCKY

ChessTournamentAnalysisChess Personalities
Ian played World Chess Champioship 2 times and just finished 3rd on 2024 Candidates Tournament

introduction

You are maybe confused about title.What I wanted to say with title is that Nepomniachtchi when is in good shape play maybe even like best player of all time but when he is in bad shapes he play very badly.I can really relate to that too.So we are going to talk about why does this happen and we are going to look at some of his games.

why is this happening.

Of course, the most logical thing is to say that someone is not fit or not trained, but that is not always the case. Although I cannot say for sure, I think that he is affected a lot by psychological problems and nerves.

World Blitz 2023: The dance of the knights

What happened is that Nepo and Dubov agreed to make a quick draw, but they wanted to do it in an interesting way and started dancing with jumpers. After the referee's decision, half a point was deducted from both of them and Dubov would have been the first in that tournament if that had not happened.

Last Tournament

I wouldn't even say that it was the problem in his last tournament, I think it was the fact that he played too solidly. And I don't want to condemn him because he did it in the last two Candidates Tournaments and managed to win them.

Some great games

in this game we saw him get his great eternal rival and in the next we will see an excellent game in his style

END

I really hope Nepo sees this because he is my greatest chess and life role model and I hope to see him one day and maybe even meet him.
