most natural for me and many another players was, the mistake, ke4 (center) .. ding can hold this because pawn on a4 (cover b5) without this, keymer win this .... ok, in this position is "natural"Ke4 a mistake. later come chess noobs and say "the most natural... for me: keymer outplayed ding but make 2 mistakes: 1.ke4 and to fast..... he will be stronger.

[@druxkro4442]

King g4 seems like the most natural move to make. I’m no pro and it was my first choice. Strange how these high level players can miss these moves

[@akiferensenel7120]

it is not that simple. For examplae if you play king g4 you ahve to calculate king getting in with king e5 after capturing the pawn nad maybe not even pushing your pawn and just going for the b7 pawn and if black is not winning in that position he is loosing and you have to calculate agadmator's line as well imagine white queening before black then you can actually check with qa8+ and king is forced to go to b6-b7-b5 and you pi,ck up the queen as white so it is not that easy in most of the lines if you are not winning you are loosing so its not easy to calculate

[@mikeh2385]

Can't believe after all that Vincent butchered it by not moving his King closer to those pawns. Anyone rated over 1300 moves the king to those pawns in an endgame to gobble them u.. Brutal

[@davidanderson2357]

I was thinking more in the Ke6 line. Black stops White's pawn advance and White has to figure out how to stop Black's f-pawn. When White finally commits his king to stopping said pawn, Black grabs White's c-pawn and goes for the a-file. I didn't work it out, but that was MY instinct. Of course, if that were actually the best square to move the king to, I'm pretty sure someone else would have pointed it out.

2nd: I believe Wesley is still the classical WFRCC while Hikaru is just the rapid WFRCC. Q1 Why weren't the 'slow rapid' games in the 2019 wfrcc considered classical when they are 60min games and the minimum for classical is 60min? Q2 Why are the 2022 WFRCC games considered 'slow rapid', as in the same category for the 2019 wfrcc 60min games, when they are actually 32.5min games? What I understand is (0,10) = Blitz [10,60) = rapid [60,120) = classical but unrated if so and so conditions [120,infinity) = classical P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S.

What about if kg4 white takes on c5, then after pawn f5 white plays kd4 and the white king has time to get to f1 before the black pawn . And if black would try to prevent the white king from defending against the pawn he would be required to put his king on the f file blocking his pawn in which case white just pushes his pawn and would promote sooner than black.

What's the king on e4 supposed to be doing? Shield away the white king? I don't see the point from a logical standpoint even without any further calculations.
