If you were in Nepo's shoes right now, what would you do?

Go to bathroom, use soap against Nepo stocking odours

Play the first 5 moves tomorrow then hop on a plane back to Russia.

play sharp, remain focused, and try to win.

Go all out. Put it all on the line. Give the world a good show. If you lose, at least it’s over and behind you. If you win, you gift the world something to remember in this world championship match!!!

If Magnus plays 1.d4 i will play Dutch.

If 1.e4 i will Alekhine’s.

@CasualPlays would be feared and think of giving up. Would be extra careful for next matches.

@Ifancy_potato yeah. At the professional level, participating matters more than winning.

Toughen up, stop being an a** and a wuss and go for the kill.

Polish it, of course

He should hire a medium, make contact with Korchnoi, find out what the Russians did to him in his matches against Karpov, and use that against Carlsen.
