5/5 White Wins!!! UzChess Cup R2 Analysis

CRAZIEST GAME OF 2026

Both Nepo and Vidit loses the first round and in the second one they give us an amazing show.

Niemann who was the other guy who loses the first round won the longest game yesterday in a queens endgame so Vidit is the only with 0/2

THE H6 PAWN

Place a pawn on h6 is so usefull in chess specially in the long term cause at the start could look that we cannot use the h6 pawn giving a checkmate on g7 or a 8º rank mate but one day the position is going to be open and th h6 pawn is going to help us a lot, specially if we managed to take the h7 pawn with the kinght or with a rook our pawn is going to be so close from the promotion.

In the battle between leaders Madaminov outplays Theodorou with a superdeep prep and a good endgame technique and Erigaisi beats Yakubboev to be alone in the second place with 1.5/2
For the third round the game that i more expect is the one between Mamedyarov & Erigaisi, the most aggressive elite player from the last 15 years and the most aggressive of the new elite so surely is going to be an amazing game, follow me here & in Youtube, bye bye.
