Ding Liren's DEADLY London System Leaves Gukesh D In TOTAL PANIC! || World Chess Championship 2024!

[@drmikechess]

What did you think of today's incredible game between Ding and Gukesh? I thought it started out a little slow, but the game got heated after Ding was sort of forced to castle long!

Your voice is the most TERRIBLE THING.

magnus would have beaten gukesh n the end game.ding is too passive.

[@JackieTangHu]

Your commentary is worthy of a top European Football commentator. You both take an incredibly dull game, on the surface, and reveal the complex nuance of the respective competitor positions. Nice job with the commentary. It really teachers me how to look at the whole board.

Before their championship game, majority of chess afficionados prediction that it's a massacre win by Gukesh, but now it seems Ding gonna goes home with the Champions Trophy.

Rh5 by Ding Liren in final position?

Black King walks through to f4/f3, and then it's hard to defend against promoting on e1 (and h1) and push the Queen side pawns the same time ...

[@chulavista5239]

I missed the deadly part. The excitement was supposed to come from the Q-side pawn majority, but it turns out those pawns never moved an inch. And the eval never got close to +1, either. Towards the end Ding was relieved to be nearly able force a 3-fold. Meanwhile Gukesh was in such a total panic that he declined the draw, playing on in the hope that Ding would screw it up.

Ding still seems inhibited in his playing; but it's a good sign that he's been able to resist the pressure until now. Maybe he can relax and unfold his full potential. Thank you for commenting the championship match, greetings from Austria!
