I'm surprised Nepo even wants to win this thing after what happened last time.

He's hoping Carlsen makes good on his threat to abdicate.

He leads by 1.5 points without a loss after 11 rounds. It will be very hard to deny him the tournament win.

Yes, but he was not prepared or even seemingly interested in winning the championship last time. I'm surprised he threw his hat in the ring again.

Nepo now should be a better opponent for Carlsen.
