Daniel King’s latest instalment of his "Candidates Preview" on YouTube presents us with well-researched insights about the "adventurous spirit" of Ian Nepomniachtchi, currently number 5 in the chess world. King points out that Nepomniachtchi recently had a number of strong tournament results, although many of his games either end in a loss or a win, rather than a draw. This makes Nepomniachtchi an unpredictable player, who could stir up the Candidates Tournament, especially if it boiled down to a tie-break in which Nepomniachtchi, who is one of the best blitz and rapid players on the planet, might shine.
