It looks like someone's ego took a hit...

Hans Niemann blunders mate-in-1 and Ian Nepomniachtchi is in the Semifinals!

Here are the match-ups for tomorrow's knockout to decide the 10th and final player in the #FreestyleChess Grand Slam first leg in Weissenhaus on February 7-14!

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

@DoroTeoMP He's been by far the best player in NYC. Not even a question about it.

But this Blitz format was absolutely trash. Many quick prearranged draws, more math than chess in the last rounds.

This also helps to not lose, if you're good enough to earn that privileged position 😉

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

On top of the cake, in a week Ian got back to #3 in Rapid and #5 in Blitz.

- The ONLY top player who gained rating in Rapid
- 40 Blitz rating points gained in 2 days

- 50 points swing vs Ali
- 60 points swing vs Mr. streamer
- 70 points swing vs MVL

- 1 World Champion title

[Raymond Murphy @DoroTeoMP]

Happy New Year, @NepoTracker!

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

Let me get this straight.

I don't like the ending we had. I agree with everyone saying that MC is out of control and should not be in the position to change the rules.

That being said, Ian's title is immaculate for many reasons. If someone's to blame or have asterisks, it's MC

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

@chess_insights It's Magnus who asked for the sharing, many times.

Ian was also first in regulations.

If there has to be one guy with a charity title here it's surely Carlsen.

@MarkMazurik It's surely also because of friendship but not only because of that. He would never do this with an opponent he doesn't respect at the maximum level.

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

Can I say something? You'd NEVER see Magnus do something like this unless he truly believes his opponent is a fair and threatening matchup. This means A LOT about the so called inadequate guy..

[International Chess Federation @FIDE_chess]

Magnus Carlsen suggested to Ian Nepomniachtchi to share the first place! #RapidBlitz

[International Chess Federation @FIDE_chess]

Ian Nepomniachtchi about his comeback from 0-2 in the final match of the 2024 FIDE World Blitz Championship: "Of course, it was uneasy. [...] I wasn't too pessimistic. Of course it wasn't the best start, but whenever I get a chance I can try to play it on and to use it. In Blitz, everything can happen."

@LindoPato117713 Just did it 🥂

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

Never a doubt.

[Ian Nepomniachtchi @lachesisq]

Tied for first place on a very late Titled Tuesday. Happy New Year!

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

There is no asterisk here...

Shared 2nd in rapid
1st in regulations in Blitz.
Made it to the finals
Came back from 0-2 against Magnus with many brilliances.
Held 3 more draws with basically perfect play.

There is no asterisk. This is 110% deserved.

[Niets @NepoWorldChamp]

@NepoTracker Fuck man. Why did his first title have to have an asterisk💔💔💔 I’m both happy and sad

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

This
Means
The World

Speechless
Proud

Never stop believing

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

@T3Sds @lachesisq Prime Ian is just fire. 🤍

[Ian Nepomniachtchi Tracker @NepoTracker]

But guess who doesn't care? Let's go @lachesisq 🥂

[chess24 @chess24com]
