@Weezing there was a lot of good faces throughout, but the series he whipped out after 42...Kg8 and 43...Nd4 pushed me over the edge.
@Sindre Yea, I was too hasty, because when I made the question it was about firouzja time pressure before move 40, but I didn't word it precisely. Either way it is very unlikely he flags now.
@Weezing I agree. Also no YES shares, so no one missed opportunities to sell their position or anything.
@Weezing also just so gutsy. Sacrificing and daring Gukesh to play perfect in the face of no time spent is bonkers.
@Weezing is it shorter than normal? I thought it was mainly that you get your 2 hours at the start in stead of partly through increments.
@Sindre yea that is the same, but you only get 30 minutes after move 40, but Candidates 2022 you got 75. I guess it's not huge difference but it plays some role.
@Weezing ah, you're right. Seems good to put a bit more pressure on the long end games, but keeping the opening and middle games flexible.
i assume this only applies where the player still has the right to castle by move 20 but doesn't take it? As opposed to they didn't castle because they lost the right to castle
@diadematus No, what matters is if they play castle before move 20 or not. So if they move the king and therefore cannot castle anymore that still counts as not castling.
