World Championship 2023 Prediction forum

Give your predicted winner, along with Margin.

Eg- Nepo beats Ding, 8-6, or Ding beats Nepo in rapid playoffs, etc.

My prediction- Nepo wins 7.5-6.5 (within the classical segment itself)

Ding wins in rapid playoffs after all draws classical segment.

Ding beats Nepo 8-6

I predict a draw in game 1 and Nepo winning game 2. My crystal ball is starting to get too cloudy to see much more of the future. Need another $50 to get it to clear up. That's how it works.

I am going out on a limb, but I think the Winner will Win.

I think it is hard for ding to comeback after that loss yesterday.....

I’ve been predicting Nepo wins by one or two as long as we knew who were playing. Round two suggests I may be right.

Usually the first player to win a game ends up being the overall winner. Ding needs a comeback win soon if he is to have any chance.

vey true.....and I do believe Ding will emotionally collapse due to this loss (he admits he was emotionally struggling for a few days), so I think Nepo will win by the time 10 matches are over...

Only 10 games would be a devastating loss. It'd end up being 7.5 to 2.5. That'd be incredibly lopsided.

Nepomniatchi was favourite before the match started and a very strong favourite now. I hope that Ding can win a game back because that will make the match so much more interesting. If Nepo wins the next one it will kill the contest completely.
