But in absence of watching commentary, It would really help out younger players or those new to the game to actually see the checkmate occur.

      Yeah, that mating pattern is pretty routine for a super-GM, especially given he had an hour to find it, but the impressive thing is that Ding had to see it four or five moves earlier in order to be able to play d5 and ensure that he's in time to mate before black can queen his a-pawn.

    You have GMs/superGMs struggling to find the mate that they know is there. Ding didn't have an eval bar or another player telling him 'there's a mate in 6 if you can find it' - he just found it in the middle of a WCC game.

      However, commentators are not focused on the game in the same way as the player playing at the board. And the information that there is a checkmate on the board in 6 moves does not give much. In such positions, GMs most often consider first of all the possibilities of the checkmate.

    It’s not a flashy sac or something but, considering the circumstance and everything, D5 is about as sick a move as I’ve seen. It’s like “noise cancelling headphones in the middle of nowhere” level quiet combined with “make sure you wave the metal detector wand over his ass a few extra times” level brilliant.

Any move Ian made after that wouldn't have mattered. The thing is the D5 push is so innocuous, it's incredibly difficult for the opponent to recognize the immediate threat. The only way for Ian not to lose on the spot was to recognize the mating idea and defend that exact move as soon as D5 was played.
