«Я не вижу проблемы, почему бы мне не сыграть за сборную». В эфире Ян Непомнящий!

Levitov Chess welcomes the 2026 Aeroflot Open winner, Ian Nepomniachtchi, the strongest Russian grandmaster in recent years! This year's Aeroflot Open was held with a shortened classical time control—one hour per game instead of the standard 90 minutes. Both Ian Nepomniachtchi and Alexander Shimanov performed well—Nepomniachtchi won the tournament by a large margin, while Shimanov finished tied for second place. Was it easy to adjust to such an unusual time control? Another important question: where will Ian play now after Aeroflot, given that invitations to major tournaments are becoming fewer and fewer? Will Nepomniachtchi compete for the right to play in the Esports World Cup? Is Ian ready to play for the Russian team at the Samarkand Olympics, which Russia has finally been allowed to participate in? Answers to these and many other questions can be found in the new episode of the traditional Levitov Chess podcast! 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:34 Greetings and congratulations 00:01:18 Where should Russian chess players play? 00:06:20 About Skvortsov time control 00:15:00 What's happening with opening theory? 00:21:25 Young talents 00:24:00 Where do decisive games come from? 00:27:23 About Gukesh Dommaraj 00:29:16 Plans for the year 00:32:22 About the Chess Olympiad 00:36:20 "Shadow ban" of Russian chess players 00:40:50 About the rating drop 00:42:14 Predictions for the Candidates Tournament 00:50:00 About motivation 00:52:30 About working with coaches 00:54:09 Conclusion ✅ Subscribe to the channel https://bit.ly/Levitov and don't forget to give it a 🛎️ 📱 Our Telegram channel: https://t.me/levitovchess 🌏 Official website - https://www.levitovchess.com/ 🎤 Our Twitch channel -   / levitovchess   🎥 Our channel with clips -    / @levitovchessclips   🏆 Be the first to watch new streams and videos from Levitov Chess 💻Our VKontakte group: https://vk.cc/ayH4HW Subscribed?
