What an exciting and dramatic event it was! This video showcases what I believe to be three key games from the Fide Candidates Tournament 2024. We delve into the gripping encounter between Caruana and Nepomniachtchi, discussing Caruana's crucial decision amid time trouble. Next, we analyze the Round 8 matchup between Nepomniachtchi and Abasov, where Abasov exhibited heroic defense through deep and elegant calculations. Had Nepo won that game, catching up with him would have been exceedingly challenging. Then, we examine the game between Gukesh and Firouzja, where the Indian youngster established a blockading structure and gradually ground down the endgame. Additionally, we explore several beautiful moments that lay beneath the surface— moves not executed in the actual game but crucial for evaluation.

Chess is an inherently difficult yet beautiful game, and the excitement peaks when top Grandmasters vie for the coveted first spot. With stakes this high and everyone fiercely competing, we witness exhilarating chess. I invite you to share your observations about this tournament and provide your assessments for the upcoming Ding - Gukesh match!
