This is one of the best games I have ever seen. I think it is under-rated, as few people seem to be aware of it. To me what makes it so special is: 1) how the queen sacrifice is followed by two beautiful rook moves - Rd4 and Rd2, 2) how unusual and original the position of the pieces is and the combinations that follow after the queen sacrifice, and 3) how near the end of the game nearly every white and black piece are hanging but also attacking the opponent's pieces. Even in the final position, it seems as if someone threw the pieces at random on the board and the white king unfortunately found himself in a mating net.

[@raghuveermukkamalla783]

This game should be called Ding Liren's Symphony No. 1 - he used all his instruments so harmoniously.

[@justinwr092]

That has to be one of the best attacking games I've seen in a good while. Great stuff, and great commentary as usual from King.

[@davidjames5517]

Seen 4 covers of this game; yours is clearly the best....thank you!

[@76HabeasCorpus]

I've watched a couple of analysis of this game now and it still amazes me. A special game indeed.

[@ahmed_mahrouky]

i have this game before but your commentary makes me feel the joy of first time seeing it. thanks alot

[@josephlevine3045]

Brilliant commentary as always! Thank you!

[@PowerPlayChess]

Don't forget, the next Hangout goes live at 7pm (UK) on Thursday 16th November. I'll post more info later.

[@Kobs.A]

PowerPlayChess ok sir would binge watch all that too

[@gavinjones861]

Thanks so much for this truly great game by a modern master; a reminder of how chess is such a beautiful and organically complex game.

[@IgnatzKolisch]

Great rundown of an extraordinary game

[@jb95467]

At what point does Bai realize he's on the wrong end of an immortal game?

[@RangeWilson]

I think it was after 18...Na4 which he must have overlooked somehow. Getting the king driven to f3 with no retreat possible is just ugly as can be. If not, then certainly after 20. Rd4 which Ding is not going to play unless he is sure it works.

[@Kobs.A]

When Ding sacs u know its over,just like Karpov

[@archaeopteryx7405]

What a fantastic game! Worth of Anderssen or Morphy. I would define this game "the immortal" of Ding Liren. Thank you Mr. King for your instructive explanations.

[@aseq2]

I liked that you showed it from white's side. The game is ridiculous, I could never play remotely like Ding.

[@matend8125]

maybe 60 people in the world could play like him so i believed yoy

[@joetheturtle]

A little late to the party on this one Daniel, but I'll still watch your analysis. Every perspective can bring something new!

[@michaelmaier8133]

Mr.King presents his viewers with quality over quantity, nothing wrong with that. Is much more risky beeing a hitchhiker on the hype-train.

[@horymir001]

I saw already analysings by Gustafsson and Jerry, but GM King's experience and perfection is simply the higher level :)

[@jodymccullough5891]

I've seen this game on all six of the chess channels I normally watch now, and as usual Daniel's analysis compares well with any of them. I didn't mind waiting for it 😉

[@Kobs.A]

Incredibly sonata with exquisite Beethoven by a mozart

[@Shockprowl]

Wow. The best game of 2017, surely?

[@jodymccullough5891]

Shockprowl I think so!

[@AlonsoRules]

from black too, which makes it even better

[@xman2010nadal]

Amazing game.

[@Krilehor22]

"game played by two not very strong players" Elo of the players: 2200 :D I wish i could be "not very strong" with 2.2k elo:P

[@mlgbblade5221]

Krilehor22 ding is a super gm rated who’s well over 2700

[@Kobs.A]

Silent Monologue u clearly didn't get him,he was talking of the 2200 and 2300 elo who are the only ones who played this game

[@kaliamanoj]

superb analysis

[@tennisblood]

Misha Tal inspiration got into Ding this time... Big time maestro.

[@nuovadestinazioneduso]

beautiful game

[@ChessJew]

It gladdens my heart that chess like this is still possible. This is the era of the computer, but this game wouldn't look out of place in a game collection of Adolf Anderssen.

[@justinwr092]

This has to be the most entertaining (biologically generated) game of 2017.

[@Wellingtonfun]

Could you please analyse games from upcoming Palma Grand Prix

[@warrendsmith6832]

At 13:06 or 13:14, how about Bf4? (Not Bh2.) Idea is to try to enable the white king to hide on h2 or g2. If it only costs a bishop for a pawn & white survives, then white should win due to being up material.

[@postnubilaphoebus96]

What about e4 after h3 h5? The bishop now has an escape square. Didn't calculate this, though.

[@juliomillan9263]

Amazing game

[@amigosXcorrespondenc]

Is that the sound of the Fritz 12? lol that engine is legendary

[@patament2944]

Say the word "compensation" again, you've only said it 50 times so far. Still, you are one of my top two favorite analysts, the other being Mateo.

[@AlonsoRules]

epic black game, very rare that you see those

[@midichlorian666]

17. Rd2 and if Rf8-D8 then knight takes F2 with drawing chances.

[@lemoncake7565]

Fantastic game
