In the match for the World Championship match against Carlsen in 2021 Nepomniachtchi collapsed after losing the dramatic sixth game. But in the semi-finals of the Fischer Random World Championship Nepomniachtchi managed to come back after his loss in the first game of the match.
Nepomniachtchi, who once again impressed with the speed of his play, won games two and three of the match and thus needed only a draw in game four to advance to the final. In the end, Nepomniachtchi even won the game after Carlsen missed a couple of good chances.
