World Chess Champion Ding Liren returns for the 86th edition of the Tata Steel Masters, a 14-player single round-robin taking place from 13-28 January in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands.
The time control is 100 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 50 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment per move from move 1. A tie for first place will be decided by two blitz (3+2) games. If still tied, the players keep playing single "sudden death" games where White gets 2.5 minutes and Black 3 minutes until one side wins. The monetary prizes will be shared evenly.

0:53 "going for some sort of an Indian defense" lol. I know what he means but it's still funny in the context of the two players.

Funny when Gukesh made the blunder of all blunders, the live engine only gave it one question mark.

Gukesh got to be one of the most exciting young player, always willing to take the risk playing dubious lines to go for the win

[@khushbhandari2569]

THE HEARTBREAK!!!!

[@GeraldM_inNC]

I never knew of that repetition by position rule. I always thought repetition was an exact sequence of moves. What a disaster, many other players would have already resigned in Prag's position.

[@anilbista7445]

I have drawn a lot of winning blitz game like this For few times I was confused So I did little research and found out about this rule 🤧

[@silverpassion3588]

Actually in order to reach the same position 3 times, it must be made possible by repeating the same moves right? So I still don't understand the position can be reached without repeating the moves. If that is the case, there will be a break in 3 consecutive repeats. Can someone explain

[@dmitripogosian5084]

​@@silverpassion3588no, position does not have to be repeated consecutively. It could be sometimes back in the game, there could be gaps between three instances

[@oliverangermuller9827]

The rule is a bit more complicated: Positions are considered the same if(1) the same player has the move,(2) pieces of the same kind and color occupy the same squares, and(3) the possible moves of all the pieces are the same.

[@oliverangermuller9827]

This means it is not a draw if two times it was White to move and the third time it is Black. Or if the first two times casteling was possible and the third time not because the king has moved. These exact rules are often overlooked.

[@hamiddehghan6248]

You didn't show how Gukesh could win the end game 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@herearewe]

Pragg’s undefeated streak not the winning streak. These are completely different. Great job by the way! Started playing chess after years only because of your channel.

[@cmc2110]

He is losing it tomorrow though

[@thegoatmariop837]

Praggnanandhah always wins even if he doesn't. I think gukesh had no forced mate and with little time he focused too much on the finish which wasnt so clear which allowed for a draw like this to happen especially with time running low. Its war on the board every time with these guys.

[@varaprasad2340]

😮 😮

[@cmc2110]

There was no draw, Gukesh just made a mistaken under-time pressure. We all know Gukesh is a better player currently but Pragg is hard to beat always and he is very resourceful especially in an endgame so you don’t want to rush things against him

[@SlicKBeanie]

​@@varaprasad2340🤞👌

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@cmc2110That was not good spacing that Rep out Gukesh had such a great set up for attack he probably would’ve gone on to win even Agadmator explained the advantage Gukesh had at that point

[@Navin4061]

No, Prag was lucky cuz the game was done, all Gukesh had to do was make any move other than the repetition and he would've entered time control with that being the 40th move. Then he'd have an additional 50 mins and the position is easy to calculate with that much time.

[@brukujinbrokujin7802]

For anyone wondering. Threefold repetition is "Screenshot" repetition. If you see the exact screenshot 3 times then the game is draw. It doesnt matter what moves inbetween. It doesnt matter if its repeated at move 40-41-42 or 40-47-57. This is very common in end game

[@monolithhcr2980]

What about the same position with/without castling rights or en passant?

[@tr4nnel752]

It seems a bit weird, but when I look at it, it looks quite obvious? The bishop was only on two squares and the queen also. Additionally, there was no position in between this..

[@ks_movies]

​@@monolithhcr2980Positions are considered the same if (1) the same player has the move, (2) pieces of the same kind and color occupy the same squares, and (3) the possible moves of all the pieces are the same. Under (3) above, positions are not considered to be the same if: (a) in the first position, a pawn could have been captured en passant (by the en passant rule, in the subsequent positions, the pawn cannot be captured en passant anymore), or (b) either player has lost a right to castle, i.e. either king or one of the rooks has been moved, in between repetitions of the position. This is from Wikipedia. So, no if the pieces have different move set available to them, it's not considered a draw.

[@rafaelbarone4217]

So technically if the knights or rooks are swapped it is still the same position. Quite interesting.

[@seamusomuineachain]

It does matter what moves are in between because castling rights need to be the same in all positions.

[@vaibhavrajput2284]

Somehow gukesh is a very tough opponent for pragg. Gukesh always gets an advantage in each of their classical games. Even the one game where pragg won was actually winning for gukesh.

[@simonsays6026]

Does Magnus have such opponents among the top?

[@sniffableandirresistble]

I honestly never thought of a repetition of an overall position. Thats gnarly 😂

[@user-yp5zd2sf8e]

But still kudos to Gukesh though man lost 2 games early on and is still on 🔥

[@cmc2110]

Would like to see a match between Gukesh and Alireza in the future maybe 5 years from now

[@leonardsmith9870]

This was one of the most heartbreaking things I ever witnessed live! Really feel for Gukesh

#suggestion World Rapid 2023, Nihal Sarin against Vladimir Fedoseev. Amazing Queen blunder after 156 moves!

[@akmd114379]

Probably one of the most exciting tourneys you have covered.

[@stagna1959]

it happens quite often actually in pawnless endgames like Q vs R ( happened in Karjakin vs Carlsen game, but Carlsen did not stop the clock, he probably was not sure about it and lost ), R+B vs R endgames etc. It does not have to be 3 times in a row, but when same position repeats after 46th move, after 53rd move and after 59th move, you can claim the draw. In classical you can check from scoresheet, but in rapid / blitz you just have to rely on your memory to stop the clock and call arbiter ( assuming you have DGT boards and arbiter computer recorded moves )

Jeepers, I didn't see that coming at all.

I knew the rule was threefold repetition of a position, not of moves, but they _also_ repeated moves and there were no other positions in between, so what I don't understand is how this was confusing for people or how it differs form anyone's idea of any other threefold repetition.

[@santhoshs9933]

Repetition of moves is just a special case of repetition of position.

Непомнящий is the only correct way. Not sure why they write it Nepomniachtchi in latin alphabet, since it is pronounced more like Niepoh-mniashi in real. I mean technically Щ is sh-ch (like in Polish ("szcz") so not sure how they came up with "Nepomniachtchi".

[@drzlecuti]

Trivia question: have there been any fivefold repetitions in master-level play? (Threefold requires the player making the claim to call the arbiter. Fivefold can be imposed by the arbiter with no player claim.)

[@BillHimmel]

This is among the top ten blunders I have ever seen in professional chess!

[@alpha007org]

I often wonder what chess would have been like without Magnus. If he didn't exist. Why. Because when I listened to interviews, when his opponents played again him, they aimed for a draw. When Magnus is not participating in a tournament, others go all in. Crazy lines, no draws,... So on one hand, we can admire Magnus, but on the other hand, his opponents are playing crazy, interesting chess if he's not playing in the same tournament.

He calculated well and almost in a losing position. If he expects to escape this way then there is bleak hope for me to match Gukesh. Gukesh is one year younger than Pragg and he started 4 years later than Pragg with playing chess. Overall, Gukesh is a genius here.

Bro Chess can be so Damn exciting it’s really Crazy

[@ksharafuddin1152]

I think one of the parts confusing is the word "repeat". When I say I repeat it means 2 times, so repeat 3 times it means 4 times. The proper wording is "the position occurred 3 times" the use of the word "occurred" instead of "repeated" will make much more sense.

took me 2-3 minutes after having my sani (sandwich) and enjoying a choc chip croissant. Sani recipe will remain undisclosed yet I feel too many secrets never helped anyone and so I will admit one ingredient Branson's Pickles. Lets see how the game ended up now.... Sad, I feel sad, for the queens of old: the rooks, i don't think i have seen the rooks happier in a game, for a long time. Still he did once, he can and will do it again. Thomas Crown award for Gukesh. Pragg the Slippery title for Pragg although he really gets the Kipling award too as in "If you can keep your head..." Can't watch anymore, still sad. ... Ok, so many hours later, still sad but able to watch the rest. Well done Alireza, then again Nepo is everyone's favorite to beat as Nepo finds most of today's high end players boring. I would even wager on Alirezas move that drew Nepos contempt, but I think that's enough for one day. PS: whatever you doing Lana, keep on doing it
