I think the 'time trouble' Ding got into was actually completely appropriate. He knew it was an important move, and that he'd get a full 30 minutes after making that one move. Didn't matter how much time was on the clock, as long as it wasn't 0.
Chess won. Gukesh showed why he is the challenger despite being 18. Ding showed why he is the reigning champion despite coming in as the underdog. You can't ask for a lot more from a game.
To be fair to Gukesh - it wasn't THAT much of a winning edge, and Ding made it super hard for Gukesh to find one winning move after another, where not finding even 1 move brings it back to even. This game showcases just how good both of these players are. *OBVIOUSLY* these players easily saw the checkmate threat that Ding had if Gukesh moved his King up in that one sequence. Truly magnificent play by both players, and thank you for successfully showing just how good these two champions are.
@@0_0faizan That's bad on me then and I withdraw my comments. My recollection is that it only got to 1.3 or maybe a bit higher. I apparently was not very observant, and missed some important details. If Gukesh had a +3 and did not get the win, then yeah this was just a poor performance on his part and he missed a clear win. My apologies for my oversight. Thanks for correcting my mistake.
Nelson you have excellent instinct for a palatable mix of the actual with the possible giving your analysis a winning blend of momentum and instruction. Best view on TH-cam! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Nelson, for this and also all the other chess videos you create. I really like the way how you explain the reasonings for the moves - most of the time I can easily follow your explanations.
@chessvibes Rook and bishop vs rook there is Cochrane defense to hold unless the offensive side can get into a Philidor position in which case it’s a win but it’s tricky to pull off
All things considered this was an excellent game by ding. Yes he made some mistakes giving gukesh a better position. He himself said he thought this position was hopeless. But he kept on fighting. Made it challenging for Gukesh to actually break through. Gukesh was unable to break through.
When it comes to time scrambles, Ding is extremely better than Gukesh. And I think this is what happened in the game. Gukesh did have the advantage before move 40, but Ding's defense was solid. If you notice, after the added time, Ding took around 20 minutes to make one move, while Gukesh seemed relaxed at that moment. However, the tables were turned after that, and it was Gukesh who was seen struggling with his time, often going down to his last 20 seconds before making a move. Nonetheless, it was an amazing game.
To answer your question, even with an extra bishop, but no pawns for both sides, with R's present, it should be a draw. But the bishopless side must execute perfect maneuvering. One weak move is fatal.
You found it complicated !! It completely spun this woodpusher's head trying to watch it live ! Thanks again Nelson , your analysis as ever is far more understandable
It is possible to win with a bishop and rook vs a rook. It has been done in the grandmaster level. Theoretically it is a draw, but the defensive moves are pretty difficult, especially when you're low on time
Zero K activation by Gukesh. Surely he had to have started looking at his activation options right after Qs came off the board. Almost comes across as getting caught flat-footed. But sometimes positional dynamics results in such a thing.
Good densive abilities by Ding wouldn't say as good as Tigran Petrosian ( He was obviously among the best of all time at prophylaxis style of chess) but put up good resources to successfully hold on for draw it's a win for ding.
Nope, kg3 or kh3 is fine, You can bf4 discovered check to take pawn doesn't really do anything but even make the position worst for white causes now I can attack two of white peice with the right move, if their was a good move, nelson would have explained stockfish's line
Man i watched game like the last 10 mins and man I am s9 disappointed like Gukesh handled the endgame a little poorly and Ding expertly capatalized on that.
I am sick of these draws. It's the world 🏆 championship. I would like to see more aggressive games personally. No risk no reward. All this playing safe is not entertaining. Magnus would have been so much better to watch. To bad no one is a challenge for him anymore. I wonder how it feels being world champion and knowing you're still not the best in the world... Must be demoralizing.
As someone rooting for Ding... well it's almost irrelevant that Ding got the half point. The chess in this game was completely awesome, and that matters more than who finally wins imho.

Best comment 👌🏿
30:13 king rook vs king rook bishop is usually a draw but at certain positions (defending king is trapped at the edge) it’s a win for king rook bishop
In practice, it is often a win for the side with the rook and the bishop, as the defense is very difficult, even for a GM.

Isn't +3 just a winning advantage?? What do you want then? +10??

Nelson your videos are really educative and awesome
Man, I enjoy watching your commentary on such an important series of games! And so humble too!!
Ding was just chilling this game.
I don't think so...
Ding chilling haha
Bing chillin’
Ding may not be a tactic god like Tal, but he's definitely an amazing defender

thank you for this series. it's my highlight the last couple of days
That game was crazy. Definately worth looking more into if you want to learn, especially the endgame positions
13:25 deez knights
Really enjoy watching and learning from your chess analyses. Thank you for taking time to explain moves and consequences.
This was by far the best game of the match. Thanks, Nelson, for the analysis.
That’s some great commentary! Thanks!
Good fight. Happy to see an exciting full game
*This was Draw that was more like a Win*
Great Time Mgmt from Ding as well 👌🏽
Awesome review. Nelson you're amazing.
Best place to watch the championship games.. thanks Nelson

Ding was just trolling Kramnik.

Crazy endgame
Sad to see Gukesh squander his advantage. Ding was the psychological winner of this game.
Nice spoiler, lol it’s okay I shouldn’t be in comments 😂
man , i saw that B5 pawn move .. ugh .. Ding didnt do it dang
A lot of work (72 moves) for a draw! I wonder if Ding gets ELO out of the deal?
Ding !! move .. -- dang !! how many times i had to scream at the computer !! 😅

Such a good chess channel 🔥❤
Wow this definitely was a great one they played
Thanks, I think David Howell said R and B against R is a draw with PERFECT defense, and he would have liked to see Gugesh try it
isolated isolated isolated !!
Dont thing Ding watches your videos Nelson 😎
Great recap. Good explanations. they both played like champions.keep them content coming . Lot of love from India 🇮🇳🎉❤👏✨

GGs that was another draw endgame! hopefully Game 8 would be different this time or it's another draw!
Ding was very lucky to escape with a draw
Why black didn't take a pawn by going Nxb5, instead going Ke5? at 31:06
Thanks 🎉

What a good defense by Ding
10:02
Nelson: Looks like D6 is actually a good move for white.
Stockfish: Let me just bring the eval bar down.
Was eagerly waiting for this video from the past hour 0:03
Good analysis.
Ding Dong Bosh!
love your videos man. greetings from turkiye ❤
30:09 rook and bishop vs rook is draw. Even rook and knight vs rook is draw
26:43
Prag lost a game 2 years ago exact same way
Beautiful

During the game the engine kind of showed victory for black at the 23rd move. Can you speculate what could be the reason?
Ding Ding!

At 29:22 what if white checked the king with the bishop? Would that not work?
Nope, kg3 or kh3 is fine, You can bf4 discovered check to take pawn doesn't really do anything but even make the position worst for white causes now I can attack two of white peice with the right move, if their was a good move, nelson would have explained stockfish's line
When are we getting Chess Adventures again?
Ding ding ding
One of the greatest draws in WCC history.
1:30 Ding spent 28 minutes to think about the c4 pawn capture? I'm a lowbie; is that normal for GMs?
Oh, it gets talked about here: 10:30
Man i watched game like the last 10 mins and man I am s9 disappointed like Gukesh handled the endgame a little poorly and Ding expertly capatalized on that.
Can't believe i went ti bed after move 40, I love ding so much
Ding is defenDING king. There is no doubt on that😊
My kids are asking who this Stockfish guy is that you keep mentioning and knows everything 😂
It's defenDING
It’s the Catalan not King Indian defense
ding ching
ho hum another draw
Magnus ftw
Why ding wants to trade the queen most than gukesh??
I am sick of these draws. It's the world 🏆 championship. I would like to see more aggressive games personally. No risk no reward. All this playing safe is not entertaining. Magnus would have been so much better to watch. To bad no one is a challenge for him anymore.

It's amazing that these two characters are incapable of calculating basic 3 move tactics. I feel like Nelson is giving us a pogchamps summary 😂😂😂
Obligatory TH-cam algorithm comment.
What, that's probably 5 or 6th comment I've seen
yoo that's on the top
sorry whats the meaning of obligatory
@@NihadVeliyev-jr2of there's something called dictionary, sir
@NihadVeliyev-jr2of In this context, I'm using it synonymously with compulsory.
Very weak endgame for superGM from gukesh.
And how it compares to 98 accuracy endgames in tilted tuesdays with 3 minutes 😂.
I don't know why I like ding to win😂
Day 5 of commenting until I get pinned:

Gotham is overrated. Can't change my mind

Honestly if Magnus was playing Ding , the score would have been 5-2 for Magnus ( Game 1 , Game 3 and Game 7 ) and 4 draws.
I'm so early😅
