Ding Liren's beautiful Carlsbad victory vs Inarkiev

Featured is the beautiful chess game between Ding Liren and Ernesto Inarkiev from the 2015 World Cup. In response to Inarkiev declining the Queen's Gambit, Ding exchanges on d5 and continues with the Positional variation, Bg5. After 6 moves the popular Carlsbad structure surfaces. Ding chooses the central expansion plan with f3/e4 and soon obtains an ideal pawn center that Inarkiev pressures. Inarkiev's position begins to slip after a queen retreat, allowing Ding to assume a strong queen post on c3 where she facilitates a bishop reposition. Ding's winning tactical sequence with his minor pieces, as his majors form a battery on the h-file, is really a thing of beauty.

“When a knight has a nightmare…” a great way to teach that lesson! Thank you for the great video.

[@FreeStuff4TheWorld]

Ding has always been one of my favorite d4 players. Great choice!

[@jcvp2493]

When I started learning chess, as usual, everyone recommended e4 openings. I wanted to be contrarian, so I started playing d4 openings. From there, I found Liren, who is now my favorite player!

[@ChessNetwork]

👍 I think this is one of his best games.

[@legatemichael]

This is a beauty. Hopefully this version of ding will return to the world championship

[@mysteriousmeteor6783]

Games like these restore my faith and confidence in Ding for the upcoming world championship.

[@parmenioboronat37]

Hi Jerry, I've been following your content for some time now and it's astounding, overwhelming, all the effort and emotion you share in every video. With today's video I can't even express the whole gratitude I'm feeling for your zealous chess analyses. Keep rockin' :)

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you for the compliment. 👍😎

[@AaronRausch91998]

This is now one of my favorite games that I've seen you share. Thank you!

[@ChessNetwork]

Great to hear. I think it’s one of Ding’s best games. 👍

[@NathanHall-lo3xu]

I do watch quite a few others but always end up here. You and your work is going from strength to strength, in my humble opinion 😊

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you Nathan. 👍

[@dannytran1587]

Hope Ding returns to this level

[@jonwill]

Great presentation; thank you for sharing.

[@Javidfarali1980]

Hey Jerry. Love the daily videos. Can't wait for more 2 or 3 hour tournament videos 🙏🏼😊

[@ChessNetwork]

Every other day. 😎 Thank you for watching. 👍

[@PushyPawn]

Ding's 30th: Bc2 is just and amazing move.

[@stephenwright2211]

love your commentary and approach to teaching the game.

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you for the compliment Stephen. 👍

[@liammcconville5390]

This was a deep one there was way more than a thing or two to take away from it, got me hyped for the world championship this year!!

[@aurifaber81]

Great video Jerry! I often end up playing the Carlsbad as white. Can't wait to try that f3 pawn push (after properly preparing the defence of e3...)

[@schess75]

Me too💪

[@UAPch]

I wish all the best to Ding, he’s a great person!

[@tahir2443]

Really great analysis as always, so instructive and enjoyable. Thanks Jerry

[@tardiffred]

A beautiful game indeed. Thanks Jerry for an amazing analysis as always!

[@bluecocacola]

a very beautiful and romantic chess game! thanks Jerry

[@jimbalbier8526]

I guess you can't say Inarkiev didn't fight brave until the bitter end. I wish we could know what his plans were to win or hold a draw, but to keep on playing in this struggle shows a good sportsman. At least in my eyes.

[@masonthebesttoeverdoitsmith]

Another incredible video!

[@pifflesticks]

You've been my favourite commentator for years and I'm very grateful that you're still making these wonderfully insightful videos. Thanks Jerry!

[@ChessNetwork]

Great to read that. Thank you for the compliment and for your years of support. 👍

[@mooseminddayan4650]

I forgot how beautiful chess can be.

[@fatihorhan9355]

Hey Jerry! Thanks for high quality content. Will you ever continue doing chess variant videos such as 3-check?

[@ChessNetwork]

Will see. It has been awhile. 😎

[@sachinkumarbind4890]

I love these explanations so good

[@ChessNetwork]

Great to read that. Thanks! 👍

[@ashoksafaya5397]

Nice game with nice analysis ❤, thanks.

[@ashoksafaya5397]

Thanks 🙏 A high quality game.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Good Game thanks Jerry 😊♟️👍💯

[@llwlltt]

can you do a video on bobby fischer's game against william addison? the scandinavian defense game

[@flippert0]

For a good while (around 2017 or so); Ding had the best middle game, even before Magnus, IMHO

[@MrYassiness]

Thanks for the high quality analysis!

[@ChessNetwork]

👍

[@KethanTellis]

Hey Jerry. Appreciating all the regular content! Have you found that all this "instructive" chess play and moves has improved your own play?

[@MrSupernova111]

His lichess rapid rating is 2700+ and his blitz rating is almost 2800. What do you think?

[@keithm257]

[@stevenchung1728]

Ding Liren is a beautiful man

[@Gru39]

Yesterday I watched one video on Nakamura's channel. It was terrible experience. He is awful poor chess educator and rather clown personality 🤡. His audience is clownish and trollish as well. Jerry's channel is the best on youtube and the chess here is pure delight

[@irfanyamashita7184]

The number of true chess lover in youtube is no more than agadmator subscriber

[@aaronhteikk4487]

If a game is worth presenting it should NOT be an instrument for teaching chess. A good game CANNOT be enjoyed. Its progress is FOREVER being interrupted. I am going somewhere else.

[@alexandergoldthorpe4585]

Huh?

[@spiffo5349]

This comment reads like a speech-to-text transcription of a late stage Alzheimer's patient.

[@anderslarsen4412]

You make zero sense...

[@MRneushaar]

We will probably never know what that meant, even if he explains it.
