Abdusattarov, Nodirbek - Martinez Alcantara, Jose Eduardo
Round 3 Game 1, FIDE World Cup 2025, 08 November 2025
I found this game interesting for the tactical ideas present in it for both sides. Abdusattarov was better at some point but misplayed towards the end. Studying the game, this comeback seemed pretty unlikely at some point.
I was also in Goa and attended the Round 3 tiebreaks where Martinez won against Velimir Ivic.
Martinez himself spoke about his thoughts from the game in the post-game interview.
