Yeah, people at first just think d5 is winning because you just push it and make a queen, but actually Ding played 7D chess and knew a checkmate would come
This video is beautiful beyond belief - Ding’s hand shaking when he notices it - David’s reaction when he finds it - Anish’s surprise when he sees it - Nepo’s smile when he realizes it and resigns. The beauty of chess summarized in two minutes
Underrated comment. Nepo smiling is just so satisfying to watch. Knows he is getting checkmate does not throw any temper, appreciates opponent. Nepo really seems like a great guy.
I love that line by Anish: “He sees it, but I don’t see it!” He could tell just by looking at Ding that there was a supreme confidence there and was humble enough not to pretend he could also see it.
Why would you think Anish pretended? Some other top players also could not understand d5 initially, it happens. As Anish says some players have these skills of finding the mate patterns, other players slowly improve their positions.
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. Crazy.
True, but they got mad time on that clock bro, and they're gms. Tbh imo I think it's unlikely that mating patterns such as these would go unnoticed by the best players.
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.
its truly incredible, he spent a good 15 minutes on the pawn d5 planning this all out in his head, the commentators while anayzing came up with two other possible checkmates, but this one was completely missed because of how far in advance you need to look
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. Really makes you understand there are levels to this chess thing
Nepo smile when hand shaking is a really class sportmanship touch. He, in some way, recognizes the beauty of the Ding final combination. Amazing chess these players are showing to the world!
I like how Anish who originally didn’t see the mating pattern but with the eval bar at 100% for white acknowledged “but HE sees it” basically saying I don’t see it yet but I can tell Ding sees it! FINALLY David figured it out but I watched this Live when Ding originally played d5 they both were wondering what was the point of that move? Turned out it was the genius move of the game!
@@JSSTyger Yes, that's the genius of the D5 move. Ian only had one move to defend against the mating idea, but Ian played A2 and after that, there was already a forced mating net. 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.
Bro I was watching this live n when it happened, I jumped outta bed screaming. I was soo happy for Ding. Was rooting for King Ding the whole time. This past WCC was an insane match.
Just look how ding is leaving rest room - he saw the idea - after that only pure satisfaction seeing him rethinking that again and confirming that there is a checkmate
agreed, the next scene of the movie after the handshake involves Magnus sitting alone in his room watching these same highlights grappling with the thought that perhaps there could be legitimate doubt now if he really is the best
The last mating net is really beautiful. Ding did such perfect calculations. I feel ding may win this tournament if he continues with this form. He has amazing ability to calculate accurately. All his moves in the last part of the game are so perfect. Most of the people who supported ding were panicking when they saw the a-pawn of nepo moving closer to the other end. Ding did such perfect calculations and won this game.
exactly, he set a trap, threw the mating net without a noise, with a gentle, almost harmless, pawn move. And Nepo didn't see it. "He must be trying to promote this pawn" did he think. Only when Qf7 was played did he realize. And I bet the smile comes exactly at the moment he understands how he got tricked. "That cunning little pawn move".
At the first glance it looked as if he wanted to promote the pawn ,, no one expected that move ,, it was not the top engine move but it was human genius
I love this. Anish Giri, one of the best chess players on the planet, says that checkmates are not his strength. Really nice and candid commentary on this one. And oh, beautifully played Ding Liren! Respect!
Good commentary can make a sporting event so much better, and this was a great example. Obviously I couldn't see it either. Probably almost no one watching could see it. It's one thing for an engine to know that there is a difficult checkmate. But the highest drama in chess is when one player in the world championship can see it and there is a real chance that his opponent cannot. If Anish and David could not see it even with the knowledge that a checkmate was there, then it is very possible that Nepo had not seen it either. Anish's commentary allowed the viewers to enjoy this amazing moment.
an underrated skill among supergrandmasters I think is their ability to read each other -- in games that regularly turn on advantages measured in centipawns, you can gain far more information from that human element than from calculating a few more variations 5-10 moves out
Good on these commentators for not consulting the engine and letting us see how difficult Dings tactics here truly were to recognize. Too many chess commentators are constantly passing the engines solutions off as their own and make these moves seem way more obvious then they are.
I have no evidence of that but the thought did come to mind 😂 (P.S. David is a top notch chess player, the fact that it took him a few extra moments to find the line doesn’t mean he didn’t find it though)
You should also post Radjabov's reaction to d5 from his stream. When he saw Ding's d5, he said it was "unbelievable how badly Ding is calculating"... then a few minutes later he took back his words and apologized to Ding's fans.
the self aware comment from Anish: "im bad at checkmates" is priceless :) he often gets flack for drawing too much, while still being one of the best players of our era
It could have effect on you psychologically as Anish said "I don't wanna see it if i am Ian" Could effect his next game performances so it's understandable Not saying Ian is mentally weak but why take the risk
But he wouldnt play his best moves then, which chess player always is trying to do With both players playing their best moves it is not immediate checkmate, but quite ugly useless black "sacrifice " / delaying moves first and checkmate much later 2:16 1...Qf4+ 2. Nxf4 a1=Q 3.Rxa1 Bf5 and so on. Forced mate in 8 moves Noone wants to play that in World Championships
You would show it if it is Grand Swiss because your subsequent opponents would be other players. But in a match between two players, it would be psychologically damaging.
Nepo is such a gentleman. He resigned while smiling. When you lose at anything you need to realize that’s it’s your opponent’s time to enjoy and you need to help with that. The same way you would like it to be the other way around. Sometimes we react badly and that’s understandable because of the emotions involved but when you look back years or decades after it’s all memories and you need them all to add beauty, in the good and in the not so good times.
I love Howell's voice. It's so refined. Not at all what I would expect from a man who threw marshmallows at Magnus Carlsen while the world champion was trying to solve chess puzzles 😂
That's the beauty of chess right there. A super GM ranked 6th in the world rated over 2750+ couldn't find it and a guy just ranked 3 places above him found it in absolutely no time. A very pretty finish. Hope they just give us some amazing games like this.
This video, this move is beautiful, this checkmate ingenious but I would like to equally appreciate the soft yet exquisite music in the background, that really livened up the mood for me, the music was like a pheonix rising from ashes, showcasing ding's prowess and a genius move.
Yes and no. Someone in chat come up with an half-idea or tipp of a potetnial Queen Sacriface on g7 or g8, and David made the correct conclusion out of it.
So rare. And for this to happen in such a tournament, just amazing stuff. When I saw it live I was speechless and even now on recap it does not feel real.
I hope the writer from the Indian Express who said that game 2 was the worst in world championship history saw this. This was pure genius. Just because someone is vulnerable doesn't mean they can't play at the very best level. It's refreshing to see the twists and turns of this match and the humanity on display from both sides.
In a way, it's a blessing in disguise that Magnus quit. These two players have already giving us more attacking brilliancies that all the matches since Topalov-Kramnik combined. Beautiful chess.
These commentators should play poker-they made a great read on Ding-they knew he saw it even though they didn’t see it-and Anish is top ten in the world!
You make a good point. Reading the opponent's body language is a skill that's rarely talked about in chess books, but all the elite players do it. The very best players notice tiny details and are very intuitive. They get a "feel" of the game, not from just the position on the board, but also from the person they're playing. They are constantly taking information.
Its really nice that they dont get support from machine (that much), that way we understood the way how GM thinks and what is really strong and what is not. What is easy to see what is not that easy for a GM.
I wonder seeing anish giri what a smart man apart from his chess genius , he is a genius at pointing out things like in this video just by seeing dings facial expressions he could identify that he spotted the winning move .

This is a tremendous d5 the likes of which the world has never seen before.
In a way, it's a blessing in disguise that Magnus quit.
These two players have already giving us more attacking brilliancies that all the matches since Topalov-Kramnik combined.
Beautiful chess.
These commentators should play poker-they made a great read on Ding-they knew he saw it even though they didn’t see it-and Anish is top ten in the world!
You make a good point. Reading the opponent's body language is a skill that's rarely talked about in chess books, but all the elite players do it. The very best players notice tiny details and are very intuitive. They get a "feel" of the game, not from just the position on the board, but also from the person they're playing. They are constantly taking information.
Ding is playing just phenomenal throughout this championship 🏆✨✨❤️
Ding must have realized all of this before he played d5..
Its really nice that they dont get support from machine (that much), that way we understood the way how GM thinks and what is really strong and what is not. What is easy to see what is not that easy for a GM.
i am indian , i should be rooting for gukesh but i really want this ding in the match this november pls 😩
Ding: "I never said thank you"
D5 pawn: "And you'll never have to"
I wonder seeing anish giri what a smart man apart from his chess genius , he is a genius at pointing out things like in this video just by seeing dings facial expressions he could identify that he spotted the winning move .
such a genuine coment, Anish is just brilliant, people with average IQ miss his brilliancy genererally
Anish saw the eval bar.
It's always that sneaky pawn or bishop lol
Ian looking so proud of Ding when he resigns hit me right in the feels🥹
