Ding Liren defeats Gukesh D with the Queen's Indian

Featured is the sharp chess game between Gukesh D and Ding Liren from the 2023 Tata Steel Masters. The opening is a Queen's Indian Defense with 4...Ba6. Ding Liren's 16th move sparks a significant change of landscape, one where the bishop pair thrives. Gukesh resists for several moves in the middlegame, but Ding Liren and his dark-squared bishop in particular proves to be king of the board.

Wow, what a beautiful game by Ding.

[@malwalsabino519]

GM Ding Liren at his best could defeat many elite top Grandmasters. Unfortunately, he has been going through tough times in his life since winning the world championship. It's sad vast majority of chess fans don't recognise that. I wish him all the best in defending the title.

[@irfanyamashita7184]

Yes,ding is awesome, just have a bad day in early 2024

[@ex0duzz]

It's ok. Ding vs gukesh is 2-0=1 for Ding..both wins were at tata 2023 and tata 2024 for Ding. Gukesh got crushed both times. And the 2024 win was during Dings "bad form" after winning WC title. So ding even during bad form still beat Gukesh..

[@daywidd]

Listening to Jerry discuss positional chess is just so enjoyable haha

[@arnoudh6203]

I really wish you showed what happens when taking the bishop with the knight for a while

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

He put more of a narrative spin on his analysis this time. At least it felt that way to me. Been a fan of Jerry’s work here for many years. This one just didn’t seem as objective to me though.

[@ethan6627]

Pretty sure you are talking about move 29 if Nxd4, gxf3 and the knight on d4 is trapped plus you now have the e2 and g2 squares. On move 30 if Nxd4 you could just go cxd4 and get a passed pawn but it might just be Rxd4 and and whites bishop is struggling so much Re2 is so scary of an idea that holds true I'd think for the later posistions as well. I have no idea if my analysis is eight if some nerd can correct me that would be cool!

[@iamable915]

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

That was some classic ding. i hope we see more of that in the upcoming match. thanks Jerry.

[@kaviwardhman]

Beautiful game to showcase what a bishop pair is capable of. People form their opinion based on just this game . Let me tell you Gukesh is a hungry lion. He has many things as advantage like ke he has 6minths to prepare and we saw what his preparationns can do in the candidates. 2. He is a pure classical player so he will thrive in a 6 hour long game.

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

I honestly had Gukesh ranked somewhere around Alireza and Vidit, for example, prior to the Candidates. Thought he was one of many 2700-2800 GMs. But I now see that he is different. I agree with you that he will most likely be the next world champion.

[@user-sr6ys3ff8g]

I can see him getting thrashed by Ding

[@ghost79ish]

Pretty sweet game. I don't know what the clock situation looked like but I imagine that played a factor in gukesh not resigning earlier. I mean I would have resigned probably around move 33. I will say this, I'm usually pretty good at the Guess the move portions of these videos, not in this one. I don't know if I'm just off my game a little bit or if these moves were just really that hard to see. Probably a little of both

[@thedrumify]

This game is really hard to understand, even when you know the moves and their computer evaluation.

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

It was very close and could’ve gone any number of ways until the very last couple of moves when Ding capitalized on his superior position. Gukesh played with far too much hesitation and suffered for it.

[@AgnaktoreX]

Ding is an artist

[@Gilsworth]

Great analysis! What a fun game that shows the sharpness and accuracy of Ding Liren. Gukesh was 16 years old at the time? And even then he was showing his strength. I am very excited to see this clash of stoic gentlemanly titans. My heart is rooting for Gukesh, but I want to see the best that Liren has to offer. Novermber will be an exciting month!

[@akinium8197]

Wauv, what a smooth game. I'm impressed when the game ends decisive, and yet with no obvious blunder. It's still not clear to me what mistake gukesh made.

[@ChessNetwork]

It may have been that Nc5 was overlooked or underestimated. It lead to an environment where the bishop pair thrives.

[@WtItCbtLoR]

Nice game by Ding with lots of elegant moves like 5Bb4+ 6Bd2. Thinking about how to put the opponent pieces on bad squares.

[@cosaticpresident3455]

If Ding is at his best he can play like stockfish... but it depends on his own situations😢

Gukesh hasn't even managed a draw against Ding before, including this year. Pretending he's not the favorite is silly.

So it was pretty much even all game and Gukesh played a little too reactive. Big lesson learned in the Candidates maybe was to play more assertively because he’s capable.

a Ding at his best. Oh boy. This is going to be a long wait for the championship with a lot of Ding fans talking him up I bet. Not much substance to talk about, unfortunately, despite Jerry’s efforts in this video analysis to make Ding seem like a wizard. He’s just another ratings inflated “super GM” like we saw in the Candidates. Gukesh is a 17 year old with a brilliant mind for chess. I’m team Gukesh.

Carlsen got surprised by many players to see the unexpected but that's the game he is always prepared for and he tames others well.

This was an authentic game, bro. Fact is that Ding beat Gukesh twice in Tata Steel. One in 2023 and one in 2024. For WCC, my prediction is that Gukesh won't stand a chance. Ding and Fabi are the only two players on this planet with ability to give Magnus Carlsen trouble. Gukesh is yet another Indian monkey-alike kid player who dream of beating Ding who is three levels above. Ding will beat Gukesh with self-pin 2.0 or self-pin based on deep learning. : )
