Dear Chess Friends!

Candidate Tournament 2022 is over. I’m sure many of you followed it and enjoyed the beauty of chess and the games of leaders with almost no mistakes. Now let's sum it up. Well, Ian Nepomniactchi won the tournament scoring 9.5 of 14 with no losses and 5 wins. Ding Liren took the second place with 8 points and Tejmour Radjabov was 3rd with 7.5

Nepo demonstrated an outstanding performance and I’m proud of him. He gave no chances to his opponents to outplay him and started leading from the first round after a win against Ding Liren.

Now Ian Nepomniactchi is the second-time challenger, so let’s have a look at how he uses his second chance to become a world champion.

For those who missed Candidate Tournament 2022 and didn’t follow the games, I prepared this small video, where I’m going through Nepo’s wins and focus on critical moments of his games.

In this video you learned how Ian Nepomniactchi became a winner of Candidate Tournament 2022. I demonstrated the games he won. Nepo has his own distinctive style of playing chess. He mainly won his games because of a strong attack combined with perfect tactical vision and calculation ability.

Thank you for watching and make sure to like this video, subscribe to my channel and share it with your friends - chess players. Please, let me know which of his games you consider to be the best. You can point it out in the comment section below this video!

Best Regards,

Hi!
My name is Victor Neustroev. I'm a FIDE Master with Elo rating 2305.


Experienced chess coach specializing in tactics and openings. An author of educational chess courses on different learning platforms.

I'm 34. I live in Russia, Novosibirsk. I learned to play chess when I was 5. I regularly won prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship and Siberia Chess Championship among juniors. I'm a champion of Novosibirsk City Chess Club at 2002 and a champion of Novosibirsk at 2019.


I got Master's Degree in Economics at Novosibirsk State University and also played for its chess team.


Today I am focusing on teaching chess online and offline. The reason why I do this is because I feel happy when see how my students achieve success.

 

I teach juniors since 2002. Almost all of my students were ranked. Some of them got prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship.
I also work with adults.

 

I will teach you how to find tactical strikes in certain position types and how to classify them. I can help you to improve you calculational ability. I also teach you chess openings and I believe you know how important they are. According to the statistics right-playing of the opening makes from 30 to 60% of your success (the exact number depends on your level).
Please, check my youtube videos to know how I teach and what you will achieve working with me.
