A Modern Immortal King March! || Ding vs Carlsen || Charity Cup (2022)

[@khann2159]

The most interesting thing about this game IMO is that the Knight was better than the Bishop in an extremely open position. You usually dont get too see that

[@jitu8476]

Sure 👍👌 RIP BISHOP 😢

[@michasasua8977]

Yes :) dark bishop had whole diagonal, with enemy King on dark square, and still was useless

[@DeathGeco1000]

I guess the Bishop had nothing to control

[@timmy1729]

Agree

[@rumaulia2709]

Mainly because the knight is closer to the black king and the bishop is staring on empty diagonals

[@Ascidzz]

I've always said that Ding is one of Magnus' best opponents to have in a World Championship Match. Ding plays like a fox, and Magnus does not always detect his ways. Very beautiful, very interesting game.

[@nikolastojanov8749]

This is incredible. Magnus is usually the one who delivers death by a thousand cuts. I'm impressed how long this game lasted considering it was ding winning for the most of the game

[@williamrobert9898]

yeah these supergrandmasters are tenacious in their defences you have to knock them down multiple times to beat them

Kinda sad to see Ding’s chess career hindered due to the pandemic. He has to play these online tournaments at night, he can’t get a visa to compete overseas, and the onset of the pandemic kind of affected his initial performance in the candidates. I just hope he, and all other chess players, can get the opportunities to exercise their full potential for the world to see.

[@tugboat2030]

It was also interesting watching this live that the evaluation bar saw Ding only one point ahead until about the third or fourth to last move. Either Ding was playing a deep level or Magnus missed a draw!

[@williamrobert9898]

he did the position which Antonio called terrible after c2 check and a5 gives black a comfortable position to play although white would be slightly better, he would have to find only moves to even develop his advantage to a winning one which I am sure he would not have done it giving his form

Please please please correct me if I’m wrong but one of the things I love about magnus is that he always feels like he’s got a chance. I’ve watched a lot of videos as a pure noob and some of these grandmasters resign at a point that I’m confused about because there’s so much material left. Magnus always resigns when there is nothing left. I appreciate that about him. It’s like a chess version of “300” lol

"The most instructive game of chess ever played " by :Erving chernev The king is a strong piece M. Tal v.s. G Lissitzin Leningrad 1956, Sicilian defense To those of us who worry about the safety of the king, Tal,s play in this game is a joy and a revelation. Tal realizes that the power of the king increases as the game progresses and as the pieces come flying off the board. By the time the ending has been reached, the king is truly a formidable fighting piece. Watch Tal,s king stroll nonchalantly into the heart of the enemy camp, gather up a couple of pawns, and then prepare to escort one of his own pawns to the queening square. It is a treat to watch, an absorbing lesson in endgame procedure. 1.P-K4 P-QB4 2.Kt-KB3 P-Q3 3.P-Q4 PxP 4.NxP. Kt-KB3 5.Kt-QB3. P-KKt3 6.P-B4. Kt-B3 7.KtxKt PxKt 8.P-K5. Kt-Q2 9.PxP. PxP 10.B-K3.
