Nepo apologizing to Fabi is truly heartbreaking, you can hear the pain in his voice that Fabi wasn’t able to convert it but he still played his best defense what a legend

[walkertexask]

you can feel the empathy in ian's "i'm very sorry"...fabi's "my fault" is so stoic and gracious and heartbreaking 😭

[nickus]

This is brutal. One can't but feel sorry for both of them.

[loneranterism]

Only Nepo could truly understand...he's been there

[forgottenonelegend]

as a guy who has lost two wcc finals, i felt that “I’m very very sorry” in my heart.

[jasonhe]

Even nepo feels bad that he saved his game

[essafaal]

Such a sophisticated exchange of respect, I love it

[BitcoinMotorist]

Nepo didn't win the Candidates this time but he was a tough out for everyone. Not losing a single game. The only player to not lose any games

[christinemurray]

Some very memorable mistakes in this game. Two fighters.

[rajathraju]

So for those who don't know, this was the last match of Fide candidates 2024, and both Ian and Fabi needed just one win to compete for the tiebreaker with Gukesh. The match was very intense, but in the end they realised that they had no chance of getting anything except a draw. GothamChess did a pretty good job covering this round, you can check that out if you want.

It was probably the best game of the Candidates. But for them, it was the most heartbreaking. You can see they are eating themselves from the inside. Painful, but they gave their best - they have to remember that!

Nepo gave him so many chances to win the game. But fabi did not find it. Respect to Ian

[omkarg]

Nepo seems to be the unluckiest person ever alive 😢😢
He every time comes so close but at the end he is unlucky 💔

[shivamchouhan]

Congrats to Gukesh!! But feeling sad for Nepo

[sassanrahbari]

Nepo gains huge respect after this. So honest. Best defense 💪

[MicahBell]

The most brutal part of chess is that if you lose it is ALWAYS your fault, unless you're playing against a cheater.
