It's so cool that the Chessable Masters is leading directly into World Championship, which starts this Sunday! I'm hype! Let's have some fun:

If anyone can guess all the openings that will be played between Ding and Nepo, in the order they're played (or get closer than everyone else), I'll give them a prize! Maybe Chessable Pro, or maybe a 3 month Chess.com Diamond Membership, let's see wink The World Championship has fourteen games maximum. Comment your guess for the openings down below!


Edit: Just a reminder, guys! It's 14 games maximum and you need to try to guess the openings for all of them in order (or get really close to), not just the opening of the first game! So something like this:

My guess is we'll see a lot of Ruy Lopez against the Marshall with Nepo as white and Ding as black and Ding will probably play something like a Catalan against the QGD
