The 2023 FIDE World Chess Championship is a 14-game match taking place in the St. Regis Astana Hotel in Astana, Kazakhstan on April 9-30 between Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren, who finished 1st and 2nd in the 2022 Candidates Tournament. Reigning World Champion Magnus Carlsen has chosen not to defend his title. The first player to reach 7.5 points wins, while a 7:7 tie will be decided by a playoff. The prize fund is €2 million, split 60:40, or 55:45 if it goes to a playoff. No draw offers are allowed until after move 40.

Each player has 120 minutes for 40 moves, then 60 minutes for the next 20, then 15 minutes to the end of the game, with a 30-second increment starting only from move 61. A playoff will consist of four 25-minute games, with a 10-second increment from move 1. If still tied, up to two pairs of 5+3 games will be played. If tied again, single 3+2 games are played, with colours reversed each game, until one player wins.

    Nepo was a little smug a few times. No wonder that happened.

    Never once have you made me feel inferior due to my lack of chess knowledge. I thought I liked that other guy I was wrong. Subbed

    Ding perform superlly from loosing position to nuetral then finding winning moves

    the matchfixing is real. how can there be so many blunders? Ian didn't play this poorly vs magnus.

    actually they played a couple of moves after re6

    With the risk of getting people booing at me, i must say that i'm really sad to say the match fixing is also present in chess. There are truly no limits to fixing events in any sport.

    Kinda sucks that Ding isn’t “winning” himself, rather Nepo is just blundering games away. I want Ding to win with a dominating performance.

    I enjoy seeing all the detailed lines, it is a great learning experience, i dont know why people don't. Keep it up 🙂

    Nice Video.
    Excellent Commentary

    I really like Nepo but I can't feel sorry when he blitzes out moves. It's not the first time. Someone on his team should tell him that.

    A special thank you to Magnus for not stinking up this match with his presence.

    Agad sounding like a disappointed Dad when Nepo played f5😭

    For those of you who don't know who Dimash is (guy who made the first move) do yourself a favor and search him on here.

    Imagine being probably the second best player in the world and a typical "your name"-move is considered a terrible blunder… ouch

    Had Nepo sacrificed Bishop would things have changed?

    (Edit)
    Also: "… and a multi-instrumentalist, whatever that is. I guess he can handle multiple instruments at once, or maybe not at once but okay…"

    Agadmator in mood today 😆

    This was a classic game I'm wondering if Queen d6 instead of Queen h4 can hold the game

    “He can handle multiple instruments at once” 🤔🤨

    Sheer luck.. But when Ding was down in the match I was sad. Now I am sad for Ian.😢😢😢

    Poor Ian. He can´t stop his bad habit of playing too fast in critical positions. He had a better position vs Magnus too, but went crazy on b4(!) in game 6, and then imploded. Here he blitzed out moves after being + 6, and lost his patience.

    Karma.
    In the Candidate Tournament Nepo and Hikaru agreed to an early draw. Giving Nepo first place and Hikaru a chance for second. Ding proved after that stunt, to be a true Chess Champion in heart and mind.

    From my perspective, this is typically Nepo’s blunder move. 😅 Not the first, neither the last one. Many players did similar to Nepo.

    Agad: Multi-instrumentalist = 1 man band.

    #suggestion Include the time left for each player after each move in a small graphic so you dont have to explain it (even though you do a great storytellers job of this)

    Chess is so brutal. Rooting for Ding but still in pain after Nepo's loss.

    I watched this game on and off at work and it really was crazy to see how the game developed from a slight advantage to Ding with a "play for draw as white opening" into a Leela level b5 line by Nepo for the win – into the Rg8 miss by both players and it's like they both misunderstood the position from there on out with so many inaccuracies back to back for the rest of the game until the blunder

    really fun to get such a wild game in a WCC match but Nepo looked completely broken.. when he blundered a pawn against Magnus in the previous WCC he just broke for the rest of the match and i can only imagine it being worse when you throw away your advantage like that, hopefully he recovers so we get some great chess these final days

    this game broke my heart 😢 nepo clearly outplayed ding from start till very end but we have seen him making one move blunders in world championship before against magnus too…. this is soo hard to watch

    If you listen closely you can hear Magnus laughing in the background

    I love that these guys are mixing it up. Is this the best WCC of all time?

    I believed in Ian that he eventually make a terrible blunder, as usual in the world championship.

    19:18"Probably preparing for press conference"
    Agad is just roasting Ian as always😂😂

    I don’t know if this is the worst blunder in WCC history, Ian also had the bishop blunder in the last WCC lol

    Safe to say Nepo won’t be answering any questions today 😂

    People criticizing Nepo have no clue about how it feels to play a strategic game at a high competitive level, furthermore under cameras.
    He's emotional, that's a fact, and gets weaker in stressful moments. It showed on 2021 when he chained blunders against Carlsen. But 14 high stakes extreme level matches in three weeks PLUS press conference is exhausting. Thinking demands energy, and it's fair that in complicated position you might have some moment of absence. This is an unique structure of tournament after all, people are understimating the pressure that comes when you know all the chess world is watching your moves.
    Okay, most people could see that this was a blunder, but most people couldn't have played the 12 games as well as he did, because you haven't even tried to put yourself in his shoes.
    If you think the level is dissapointing, please go become a world champion, qualify for candidates and win the whole thing. The only ones allowed to fairly criticize Nepo are the world champions. Magnus is better than Nepo, that's a fact, but he chose not to compete this time, move on and accept it.

    This blunder was just about acceptable as he was under time pressure trying to play for a draw. The blunders he made against Magnus were full tilt, he just completely collapsed.
    At least he’s still level with Ding!

    it woulda been dope if Jan wasn't allowed to play because Russia is still in Ukraine and why the fuck is that still a thing… Its gonna be palestine israel all over again just without the religious component.

    I have to admit that I am disappointed with the standard of chess in the echelons of contemporary. players. I am under the impression that players such as Fischer or Alekhine would have fried these fellows.

    “It will be life-changing” lol he had me on the floor with that shit 🤣🤣🤣

    And it was with this move that Magnus Carlsen would still totally destroy his WC opponent if he still had played😅

    Nic (J Bruce Feynman Niccolo P. Bentulan) says:

    This is insane. Both 2016 & 2023 WCC, a gentile who likes Garry Kasparov more than Jewish American Bobby Fischer ties 6-6 with a Jewish Russian who led the match with black. A white win & 2 black draws compensates for a white loss? Really? Gestalt psychology says the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If chess didn't have drawn rounds like basketball baseball csgo valorant etc then every white loss would have to be compensated by a black win.

    Btw, when was the last time someone led with black in the classical portion of any world chess (or chess960) championship match and then later the opponent not only caught up was even leading (but needn't have ultimately won) ?

    Eh then again I wouldn't want every game to be classical armageddon with auction. But with chess960 yes there are draws but there isn't really a white advantage (as long as you play both colours BUT different position so whomever gets black 1st doesn't have an advantage), so go ahead compensate a white loss with a white win for all I care.

    0.1 – 'If all the chess professionals played Fischer Random, our game could have been much more popular.' — Alexander Grischuk

    Bobby Fischer would agree with everything here.

    Classical chess960 would make every game exciting for the audience and be less stressful for the players. There will be no more draws by theory.

    Of course Fischer random chess is better than chess960 by 0.1%.

    0.2 – Classical armageddon (WITH AUCTION) would make every game exciting without eliminating theory or preparation and is better than rapid & blitz tiebreaks. Besides, it's interesting to see how low players will bid for black Vs white's 120min.

    1 – Armageddon is only fair if there's an auction. Who's to say no one would bid lower than 4min for black vs 5min white?

    2 – Using 5min vs 4min Armageddon as a tiebreaker for something initially classical is ridiculous especially if Armageddon has no increment.

    But eh if you're already playing rapid and blitz to break ties for classical then whatever. What a great example set in the 2016 & 2018 WCCs, using rapid instead of classical Armageddon with auction.

    Such an example continued to the 2022 WFRCC where Wesley So got lower time controls from the 2019 WFRCC for no good reason. Lower time controls are to break draws. Why lower time controls for Wesley So in the 2022 WFRCC when Wesley So WON the 2019 WFRCC? Very good reason to consider Hikaru as the rapid WFRCC while Wesley So is still the classical WFRCC.

    Still, to break any classical tie, why not classical chess960 or classical chess Armageddon instead?

    3 – Classical Armageddon for either chess or chess960 would be interesting because in sufficiently high time controls, black may give up more than half the time of white. The closest I've seen is the 2013 USCC between Gata Kamsky and (errrr) (….) (errrr), which was slow rapid though not classical. It's 24:45 Vs 50min after you add increment to 19:45 vs 45min. Oh yes actually Armageddon games have increment! At least they did 1 decade ago.

    4 – I've actually come to realise that chess is a completely unfair game if you don't play both colours.

    Often you play swiss & single round robin with uneven white & black games. And even if they are even, you could've done better or worse depending on your colour.

    I think Yasser asked Wesley So if double elimination in the 2023 American Cup should be used also for the USCC. Actually it's fairer to do even single elimination because in knockouts you always play both colours except Armageddon.

    Regardless of logistic practicality, seems to me the only fair thing if you're insisting on swiss & single round robin is:

    4.1 – Play both colours. If it's 1 win each, then it's simply a draw.

    4.2 – Play single game still but Armageddon.

    4.3 – Play chess960 instead. Who cares if you're black? I don't mind if I play black in chess960 for the rest of my life, but I hate every single time I play black in chess.
