♟️ Nepomniachtchi: “Nakamura Has Zero Chances” at Candidates 2026 In an interview with the Levitov Chess channel, former World Championship challenger 🇷🇺 Ian Nepomniachtchi gave a blunt assessment of 🇺🇸 Hikaru Nakamura’s chances at the 2026 Candidates. 🗣️ “Nakamura, I think, has zero chances. Zero.” Nepomniachtchi explained that success in the Candidates requires constant practice in classical chess, following the traditions of the Soviet chess school — where players regularly compete in serious classical tournaments rather than focusing heavily on blitz, rapid, or online play. He named 🇺🇸 Fabiano Caruana, 🇨🇳 Wei Yi, and 🇮🇳 R Praggnanandhaa among his main favorites for the tournament, highlighting Wei Yi in particular for his versatile style and strong results whenever he competes. Do you agree with Nepo’s assessment? 🤔
