Nice recovery by Ding. This game emphasized Fischer’s observation that at this level you have to accurately press home your advantage. One inaccurate move and it slips away.

[@JS-ec3xc]

Love the calm voice, much appreciated. Way easier to follow when compared to other recaps

[@alexandershorse9021]

I hope Ding grows in confidence after that save and/or his team challenges his negative self talk because he showed his skill and fighting spirit.

[@jozefserf2024]

Gukesh got the surprise in first - Re1. If Ding had played b5 he'd have been asking for it.

[@lazyatthedisco]

Yes I don't think Ding would've seriously considered bxc4 without preparation. But his C5?! is definitely bad when you just played c6 precisely to block that g2 bishop

[@jabbarmohammadi6857]

even a draw could be beautiful if a good commentator reports. Thanks Daniel

[@-dizzoj-]

What a battle! Fantastic game.

[@DG-ss2zd]

Great coverage, thank you!

[@eljanrimsa5843]

Gukesh got everything he wanted: A pawn up, a protected passed h pawn, bishop against knight with pawns on both sides. I guess Vishy will explain him something about playing against a knight when low on time.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1406">23:26</a> there is also Re3 Nxf2, Rxe5 Nd3+

[@musician1770]

Thanks for these great recaps. Incredible resilience by Ding here to save this.

[@danjeory3659]

I prefer these than watching the game!

[@aarongifs]

WOW! I knew it was going to be a good one when I saw 27 minutes. Really surprised this didn't end decisively

[@lalocura9052]

What a game!!

[@ДенисЮденков-ь5ж]

Please , review some KK games with this open

[@AroundWayOther]

what a save!

[@tennisblood]

Huge miss by Gukesh to go ahead in the match; Daniel your 2 suggestions were much better continuations to seek a win than what Gukesh actually played. Bg5 instead of Q:f5 and Bd1, sacrificing the b pawn is what he needed to play instead...I'm surprised Gukesh realization of a small but steady advantage was sub par in this game...Maybe he ain't ready for the title...

[@postyoda1623]

Was a very exciting game, best one so far imo.

[@geonerd]

Very tense, with victory/defeat hanging by a densely tangled thread!

[@fakeplaystore7991]

Gukesh repeated moves because he knew one of Ben Finegold's lessons: "always repeat".

[@aarongifs]

Way to get a sponsor for your "you have a think, i'll have a drink" segment. I would consider keeping the board on screen during the ad though, replacing your video so we don't lose track of the position.

[@Whykonen]

Brilliant. That is real high end gear. Do they also have something in range of dgt pegasus, low end chessnut etc?

[@staygoldpwnyboy923]

can't wait to watch!

[@tejas4039]

Hurts so much as an Indian! But then one feels like he didn’t really miss much- it was winning but not so easy either! Don’t know how to react. Mixed feelings.

[@sheldonkupa9120]

Thats a good way to describe👍 Respect to Ding, i think almost anyone would have lost to Gukesh.

[@ДенисЮденков-ь5ж]

Last Grunfeld was played in Wch matches by Garry K!!!

[@sircosm]

Hey the Anand vs Gelfand WC matches featured the Grunfeld too.

[@jonacasals5]

Thank you king (pun intended)

[@michaelblankenau6598]

What’s the pun ?
