We are back for one more 2024 FIDE Candidates reflection as we start to take stock of a historic tournament. Joining me (again) to discuss it is renowned trainer, opening theoretician, Chessable author, and 2022 Dutch National Champion, GM Erwin Lami. Erwin has frequently collaborated with GM Anish Giri, and he was on the World Championship preparation team for GM Veselin Toplov. Erwin shares his thoughts on GM Gukesh\u2019s impressive ascendance, Fabiano and Nepo\u2019s disappointment, and what this result does and does not mean for the trajectory of professional chess. We also discuss the performance of the other players, the Women\u2019s Candidates, and Erwin\u2019s plans for 2024. I always love to hear Erwin\u2019s perspective, and discussing this tournament was not an exception. Timestamps of topics discussed are below.\xa0\n\n\n\nThanks to our sponsors Chessable.com!
