“But Nodirbek Abdusattorov has advantages in terms of pressure on his opponent. Sometimes it does not work, like today, I think that playing a little too fast and maybe not so carefully, but sometimes it’s very dangerous, “said Caruana.
“So it’s a bit of a draw, you know?” I think that for me, Gukesh was a little more unknown than Nodirbek Abdusattorov in some respects, as if we had a lot of experience against each other, we played a match here last year, and I just decided Before if it was between … I was of course, that Nodirbek would still be there because I thought that Sindarov would probably not choose his compatriot.
“So I thought, okay, if it is between Nodirbek and Hikaru, I will probably choose Nodirbek, between Gukesh and Nodirbek, or Gukesh and Hikaru, I will probably choose Gukesh in this case,” said the man of 32 years old.
