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.

    I am neither team Ian or team ding but after seeing how crushed Ian was yesterday, I mean talking to himself, resting on the table, getting back up, staring at the wall and making some gestures out of frustration… I hope he wins.because going to the WCC twice and loosing the way he did, we need to be worried

    "Didn't really… inspired anyone to play chess" 😆

    Antonio says no one could have predicted the end of game 12, but in all fairness Nepo has a long history of choking the WCC. I really think he is a better player than Ding, but he will have to fight to keep the spaghetti in his pockets to prove it.

    What the hell are you doing everytime you say " Sorry about that" and reach under your table? You do that on 60-70 % of all videos

    What if white sacrificed knight to grab pawn on e4 the rook would’ve grabbed other pawn and then fork 2 bishops

    what's after classical again ? Baroque ??

    Again, this match lacks a defending champion.

    It just a draw. The Bishop pair could not do anything. It's just fucked by Nepo's rook.

    It is amazing to see your progress agad. I have been following since around 25k subs and your quality of video has only gotten better while your passion has never waned. Keep it up!

    Why didn't nepo go for rook f1 and then checking in the end?

    Cool. A Tie is good stradagy. move on🎈

    This was a classic throwaway game. Seems like they’re preparing for tiebreaks now.

    Interesting match, but world championship duels are outdated and useless. Magnus and Fabi proved following engine lines results in boring draws. FIDE needs to adopt ATP and PGA formats of grand slam tournament play. Throw out ELO, too.

    What did the commentators say about the draw? Someone must have thought Ding could win.

    Where did he get the idea that we like to see the ceremonial move?

    I sense that game 14 will be a relatively quick/easy draw to go to tiebreaks

    Long Live The Ding…….All hail Ding Liren.

    I walked quickly past the library and headed for the bar. The answers to game 13 lie in the bottom of a whisky glass and not in the dusty pages of a tattered book. 😊

    15:18…what would that be? 😀 I believe I am meant to hear "a horror" at 15:20, but I most definitely am not hearing that ^^

    This is a glorified Candidate's Tournament. Kasparov was correct. This doesn't determine the best chess player in the world.

    A slight inaccuracy in the quote above the board… Feel free to pause for a couple of seconds and try to find the best option for Agadmator…

    I watched one of your videos you made 5 years ago. it was not 60fps. I watched it in 720 p. video was good, enjoyable, sharp, continuous. If I watch this video in 720p I can only do in 60fps. I see no difference in video quality what i experience is only more bandwidth consuming. So i have no idea why you make these videos in 60fps frame rate.

    Ok. So next game is the Super Bowl of chess. Wow!

    I am hoping for a decisive game 14 but I'm thinking it will probably be a quick draw

    "Anyone can be a choke artist. Ding has become something more… And he is about to complete his Magnum opus."

    Is there any updates on if is was Nepo and Ding playing together online under different names?

    Game 14 will play ti draw…
    Ding will win in rapid.

    An interesting game, calming things down after yesterday’s “wild game and Ding came out on top”

    Ding plays the Reti tomorrow and wins brilliantly.

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

    2nd comment: 2016 WCC – This is relevant to the 2023 WCC.

    Please agad cover the other decisive game of the Sergey Karjakin vs Magnus Carlsen 2016 WCC (Game 10, where that TALENTLESS patzer won). #suggestion

    What happened is that Magnus lost to Sergey AS WHITE in Game 8 but then compensated for a white loss with A WHITE WIN in Game 10. This is what happened to Ding Liren & Nepo for Games 2 & 4 of the 2023 WCC.

    Fun fact for Game 8 – 'After the game Carlsen was visibly uncomfortable and left the press conference before it began, potentially incurring a fine of 5% of his prize money to the organizers Agon, and a further 5% to FIDE.[59] FIDE released a statement the following day indicating that the penalty would be imposed.[61] The fine was reduced on appeal to 5% of the prize money (2.5% to Agon and 2.5% to FIDE).[62]'

    For Game 10: Wesley So has some interesting thoughts that DEFY STOCKFISH, as Wesley So did in 2021 St Louis Chess 9LX with the move that won the chessc*m 2021 move of the year award. (Wesley So thinks white 'still had an edge' even though the computer says black is slightly winning.)

    Some maths:

    Why doesn't a drawn match go to the player w/ more black wins (if any) s.t. Sergey Karjakin not Magnus Carlsen is 2016 WCC? Surely a black win is worth more than a white win. But you might argue 2 draws with black amounts to a win with black. Does it? No question about it in chess960, where there's no theory. In chess? Gestalt psychology says the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

    Other suggestions:

    Women's chess

    A – Was Kg6 in Dina's 1st GM slaying game in Reykjavik sexism? Like looking down on Dina?

    B – Anna Cramling's dad beats Mikhail Tal. #suggestion

    C – Philippine women's chess #suggestion – WGM Janelle Frayna, the female Wesley So, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bela Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz.

    There's a 13-move UNDERPROMOTION puzzle here.

    [Variant "From Position"]

    [FEN "6k1/6b1/1p1P3p/6pP/3pPpP1/p2NqP2/6K1/5Q2"]

    1. Qd1 a2 2. Qb3+ Kf8 3. d7 Qe2+ 4. Nf2 Ke7 5. Qd5 Kd8 6. Qe6 Bf6 7. Qe8+ Kc7 8. Qc8+ Kd6 9. e5+ Qxe5 10. d8=R+ Bxd8 11. Qxd8+ Kc6 12. Qa8+ Kb5 13. Qxa2

    For some reason none of the Philippine channels except Kelvinllovejr even cover this game. LOL. But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on.

    P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See

    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.

    Who is going pull out a game winner ? See you in game 14.

    I expect Ding to have one more very deep prep in his arsenal for the final game.

    I saw live that rook from Ding and he was very nervous

    Most enjoyable Championship – superbly presented by Agadmator

    I honestly don’t know why I want Ding to win next game lol… i true have no horse in this race yet I’m leaning towards Ding winning.

    Thank you for your excellent and expeditious covering of this world chess championship and chess in general. I enjoy your analysis and your choice of games you present on your channel.
