I found the move instantly, and I'm high.
-
Fabi's Re2 novelty turned out to be significant. His c4 near the end was clinical. I guess it's why he is 2800.
-
Nxg7 was one of the easier pause-the-video moments. Even I spotted it immediately.
-
Anytime knight f5 is played, I automatically think of knight taking at g7 & h6 out of fear.
-
Something happened to Ding after becoming the world champion. He's been struggling mentally and trying to come back to his level but it's hard. He is a chess genius as he proved many times and I hope he will find a way to feel better.
-
"we got world champion at home" vibes
-
We are all used to ‘world champion’ being a title that implies an impossible opponent because magnus occupied the title for so long. But it was magnus that as special not the ‘world champion’.
-
Ding is realizing the crown is heavy
-
He's having a slump for sure. However, missing one move after playing a good game against a 2800 is not unusual.
-
Allowing Nxg7 is no big deal. He probably calculated that it will leave him with two pieces against a rook and a pawn which is not so much of a bad trade. So he didn't miss that imbalance in the exchange. He only miscalculated some continuations
-
That was a beatdown and a half. Ding is in some serious hole - and needs to really start getting his confidence back before the WC.
-
For me, blunders are more of the norm than exception, so I guess I am the wrong person to answer the question of how ding could make such a blunder.
-
Are you still working on the Steinitz saga?
-
I don't know how agadmator makes these jokes with a straight face. Then again, he did make that April Fools video with a straight face the entire time.
-
Thanks for covering this game it was one I wanted to check out
-
This may have been the easiest "find the move" ever. I saw the threat before we were asked to find the move.
-
Looking at it from White’s point of view, I identified Nxg7 as White’s best move without much difficulty. I don’t know whether I’d have anticipated it as Black; even if I anticipated it, I probably wouldn’t have been able to counter it effectively. But I’m an unrated player, and if I had a rating I think it would be somewhere below 1600.
-
Love the Game of Thrones comparison! Most people say only the 8th season is bad but in reality it declined in quality in season 4 and then just jumped of a cliff and became pure garbage from season 5 onward.
-
No you are not wrong. Even I found Ng7.
-
I have seen Tal vs Botvinnik match in 1960 on this channel and it looks for me as if they were higher rated and having better tactics and beautiful chess compared with Nepo vs Ding match. Is it really true or modern chess in the engine era made chess different?
