Racist😐

[@jack-256]

​@@bhargavsai8014 the first few people who started this probably are a bit racist ... then as more and more people started following suit, it became a normal thing ... from what I saw on reddit, alot of them apparently think that's just what people say to cheer him on in the WCC tournament, completely oblivious to what it's originally referencing. Of course there are a lot of people who know or eventually found out what it's referencing, but choose to say it anyway, because they think it's funny and they have a good excuse to do so. "Well he's just chilling"... "He chills alot in the restroom".."stop being sensitive" There is no way to know who the racists are, stop people from saying this, or argue with people who tell you that you are being too sensitive.

[@feedingfrenzy4961]

I messed around with the position with an engine, and it's even more impressive. Bf8 is actually met with Rb1 which attacks the queen. After the queen dodges, white plays Nd4 with a discovered attack on the black rook which is trapped. The Nd4 move also prevents black from playing Bf5 to attack white's rook.

[@lovetodaylivetommorow2861]

[@randomnoob6524]

Can someone tell me what is the advantage of not taking the queen? My poor 1000 elo brain can't comprehend it at all 😭

[@LqksWevhoa]

Liren has sacrificed his queen for a rook, a knight and a bishop which is a good trade for him. Furthermore he is going to win the pawn on a7, and after that, his pawn on a2 is a passed pawn which should win the game

[@elpeeda42]

​@@LqksWevhoa why didn't black's queen take the knight first?

[@LqksWevhoa]

@@elpeeda42 That is actually the best move, but as I checked with the engine, after Qxb7, Bxc6 Qxb3 axb3 Rb8 Bg5 Rf8 Be7, black is going to lose an exchange. Maybe this is what grischuk wanted to avoid by trading the queens

i like how top G did not let the time run out and resigned so as to acknowledge gracefully that ding did infact play well.

G did not. Nice fella, shows grace. Good job ding!

[@kevintang4340]

coz he can take 3 pieces for queen -> rook , then knight and then bishop.. 3 pieces for queen is considered better coz these people ( high rated folks) can hold back the queen with 3 pieces

W Ding

[@justinherbert9146]

I am going to go out on a limb and pick Ding to win - the longer the games go, the more games they have to play to determine the winner - i see the advantage for Ding - why? - because Nepo is in such terrible physical shape that i do not believe he has the endurance. After 5 straight draws, Magnus beat Nepo in an 8 hour match which physically and mentally depleted Nepo, he then fell apart and was awful in the remaining games and Magnus destroyed him to win the championship. Also, of the two Ding is more compelling in his shy way, while Nepo is devoid of personality, thus Ding would be far more embraced by the public and social media as Champion.

Guys, can anyone tell them “engine like” is not a complement anymore😂

[@ValDominator]

i don't understand why this is good

[@WaffleKnight1]

Basically he ends up ahead in material. My noob analysis: Sacrificing the queen lets Ding take pieces with the knight, nearly equalizing the material. He then skewers the queen and bishop with Rb1. Grischuk tries to attack the knight with Qc3, but he realizes it's futile when Ding plays Rc1 to cover, so he resigns. If Grischuk let it play out, his queen would have to move out of the way and Ding would take his bishop, giving Ding a 2 point lead in material. Additionally Ding would have his bishop and rook pairs intact in a better position.

[@antaress8128]

What was on b7 that the knight took?

[@coolsquirtlesquad]

"Aparently its correct because the engine still likes the position" top tier commentating. Really needed a GM to make that sort of judgement
