Gukesh is crazy with it, he was losing in so many games but bro still would win
Nakamura made only 1 inaccuracy,1mistake, and only 1 blunder.
He cooked really hard!
It's interesting to see stats of inaccuracies, mistakes and blunders. Gukesh is the worst player compared to other Norway chess players even though he is world champion. On the other hand he somehow made positions difficult for his opponents when he he had worse positions. How far will this last? Or is it possible that on other tournaments he will actually lose more of those bad positions? I hope he will learn to play more solidly avoiding mistakes and blunders. He is a young player so he should try to increase his rating by avoiding mistakes. I think otherwise other top GMs will soon learn how to play against him.

Im no FM, but this feels a bit like a 1-dim take. Gukesh was also better a lot of games, and had a very solid conversion rate of his better games. Its hard to read, but it also looks like the percentage of moves where he was better is higher than any other player as well (however, that could all come from one or two long games, I havent checked). Obviously he has to find a way to play into better positions as black, but there are some bright spots for him in this tournament.
Based on this, it seems Naka had a really decent classical tourney, despite playing basically to preserve rating. But bro really flopped hard in arma.
Very interesting article and well written. Thank you for the effort.
