Nepo proved better and wiser in the 2nd Candidates event he participated and managed to win it with a dominating lead (1,5 point ahead of the field) .Could he improve his chances in his second WCH match if there will be one ?<\/p>\n

In case the World Champion Magnus Carlsen refuses to defend his title ( unlike to happen in my opinion) Ding will get a golden ticket to fight for the title ! Thus his 2nd place in the event has a great value .<\/p>\n

Good perf for Nakamura ,who lost the 2nd place on the very last round vs Ding\u00a0 and good perf as well for Radjabov .<\/p>\n

It seems experience proved more valuable than youth ,since Rapport Firouzja and Duda performed under their stregth in the long and demanding event !<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
