The Saint Louis Rapid and Blitz is the 4th stage of the 2019 Grand Chess Tour. The 10-player tournament takes place in the St. Louis Chess Club from 10-14 August. The prize fund is $150,000, with $37,500 for 1st place. 7 tour regulars, including World Champion Magnus Carlsen, are joined by wildcards Leinier Dominguez, Yu Yangyi and Richard Rapport.
The rapid section on the first 3 days is a single round-robin with a time control of 25 minutes for all moves and a 10-second delay from move 1. The final 2 days are a blitz double round-robin, with 18 rounds of 5+3 blitz. Rapid games count double, with 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. A 2-player tie for first will be decided by a 2-game rapid mini-match (10+5) and, if necessary, an Armageddon game (5 vs. 4). Official website: grandchesstour.org

I was in St. Louis as part of a family vacation. We didn't realise that Rapid/Blitz was happening then. We went to the chess hall of fame, which is across from the St. Louis chess club wheee this was held. My parents payed for me to enter so I could watch one of the rounds. I watched this game happen along with Karjakin vs Caruana's draw 3 feet from the players. It was awesome. Excited to see your analysis!

[@janmeyer911]

Carlsen was sneaky a second time with his Qxh5. trying for perpetual ideas

[@arsenalfanrichi]

Exactly, I was thinking when looking at Qxg7+, after promotion, taking the Rook, it was only once I saw Ding's move that I realized Carlsen had a perpetual there lol

[@StevenStJohn-kj9eb]

What a fun game. So much threat -> response, threat -> response. Ding was using both sides of the board and finding ways to ratchet up the pressure every move. Inspiring.

[@robespierre3364]

Wow I simply love his Passion behind this youtube Channel.. Thank you very much Antonio for being such a wonderful person 💕♟

[@lucasmatsuoca]

in 3:14, 13. Qb3was played by Ding, a really strong and brilliant move to be mention was castle(13. O-O), sacrificing the bishop, well, it's not actually a sac, cause you will get the piece back due to tatics, but in the end of the variation, white remains a lot better, for anyone curious about this variation, analize it with an engine or by yourself

[@panda4247]

That Ricardo Milos turn at the start before saying hello everyone was epic

[@sheryinmoua8486]

11:05 for those who are wondering-- why not just promote the pawn? because black has Qh5 and Qd1. it would be a perpetual. you must check black's king. Agad did not mention this.

[@samus1421]

what a beautiful discovered check at the end. 'last move' is referred to as a 'spear mate.' when i was = 25 i ran into an old Professor & chess master at a local coffee house. i asked him for a game. he said: 'yeah, i can spare 10 minutes.' i defeated him by playing this exact mate; the 'spearing mate.' similar to a 'smothered mate.' that was a good day.

Yes, I see the 'spear' pattern. Thanks. That will help me remember the mate.

The dedication you have for your channel is unrivalled on the platform. Good job sir 👍👍👍

[@leelayoutube9294]

Hello fellow humans, Leela would like to add the best missed win during this game: At 9:10, the best move for white was actually c4. Your rook is under attack and you cannot play Qb5 anymore, so what are the options? If you'd play -...a5 - Nice counter-attack, but I can just take your knight. (+3,67 - Qxb6 Rxe5, Rf1 Qd7, c5 Rg5, c6 Qd5, g3 Rh5, c8=Q...) -...Rd7 - I can just play h3 and play this out, the other c-pawn is coming (+3,83 - h3 f6, c5 Nc8, Bd6 e5, Bq7 Qd2, Rf1 Nxd6...) -...Rxe5 - ...and you are just down the exchange after Rxe5 Qd7, after which I eventually push my other c-pawn... (+4,49 - Re1 Qxc7, c5 Nd5, Qc4 Qc6, Ra1 g5, g3 h5...) Have a wonderful day, Leela (All searches are done to 4.0M nodes with the 42850 network, no TB)

[@jryer1]

Wow, nice win by Ding, pressure on black the entire last half of the game was very apparent

[@johnnytest3230]

11:21 can you just also push the past pawn because it threatens mate

[@mosesbaffourawuah3954]

Thought the same too

[@dusanpetrovic9381]

Me too

[@datphan6839]

black has a perpetual, Qd1

[@kosed6696]

Seems reasonable for me, cause you are not only threatening mate on g7, but you also promote to a stronger piece...

[@BruteZ7957]

Qd1 Qh5 perpetual. If you try to escape that by playing Kg3, f4 check will open up a discovered attack on undefended white queen. After Kxf4 Qxe5, Kxe5 there's no way for white king to infiltrate the position. It will be a draw.

#suggestion can you increase your video volume, somehow the last few videos since you move have pretty low volume on my devices

[@josephcallahan1664]

Well played Ding! Is this a preview of the next championship match?

[@67L48]

I can't see moves, so can someone explain why at 11:02, the winning move couldn't also be to queen the pawn? Rook can't immediately capture, because of the mate potential at G7. I know that MC's queen can harass DL's king a bit (H5 > D1 > H5, etc.), but I think it's all a waste of time and either the king walks up near his queen at E5 or there is a queen exchange at some point ... leaving DL with a Queen-Rook against MC's Rook. This would also offer an improvement to Agad's oft quoted phrase -- my favorite endgame is the one where I have a *queen* and my opponent does not.

[@67L48]

Maybe the pawn on F5 prevents the escape and it's a perpetual check. QD1, KH2, QH5, KG3, QG4, KH2, QH5, and so on.

[@AK-rx6hv]

5:17 why didn't Magnus take that undefended C3 pawn with his queen and simultaneously threatening the knight? I saw this live.. and wondered then as well. Was hoping you would have mentioned it here? What am I missing?
