Athletistic / Chess. Russian chess player Alexandra Goryachkina has shared her expectations for the World Chess Crown match, in which her compatriot Ian Nepomniachtchi will face Chinese Ding Liren.

“It will be very interesting for me to watch this championship match. I have never seen such a universal chance as Dean. He entered the Candidates Tournament after Sergey Karyakin was disqualified, managed to play the number of matches required in China and it worked (smile) In the last round of the Candidates Tournament with Nakamura, he also had a bit of luck – he took second place.

Grischuk thinks Nepomniachtchi and Liren have almost equal chances of winning the championship game

And on top of all that, second place was enough to reach the championship game. Lucky him as a champ, of course. So it’s interesting: will luck help him or will chess factors prevail. Still, Jan has experience in the championship match, and in general over the past few years he has always maintained his high level, winning Candidates’ tournaments. I think he will be able to prepare well, work on himself from a psychological point of view and show everyone what he is capable of,” Championship Goryachkina quotes.
