I know just the basic chess moves. That's all. After watching the final game live, I searched for videos that explained the final moves. Yours is the best. I got clarity. You even explained how the game would have moved further after Ding gave it up. thanks
I am only 1350. Yes, I might have done the same mistake as Ding. But if I was Gukesh, after Ding blundered, I would have beaten Ding easily! Very unfortunate move by Ding to lose the game so decisively!
@@deepakdwivedi6046 I know! I know! Every time I watch these guys, it all seems very simple logical moves! But when I do the moves, the other side seems to always make a better move!
Ding was becoming nervous upon the two black pawns threatenning, ding nervously secured the diognal by occupying corner with bishop and offer his rook for exchanging threatenning black rook.
Very nicely and in simple words explained the entire game. It was nicest explainstion how the game would have progressed and at the end how black would have won thegameby converting pawn in to bishop....🎉🎉
Great Analysis ! But in the end when the pawn be became a queen on g1, the white king could have killed the pawn on f3 ? I am sure white would have been defeated but did you end the video earlier?
@lewisdaniels4228 NO, Gukesh cannot do what you claim!! The position is a DRAW (White has a "FORTRESS" , as long as he does NOT EXCHANGE into a LOST Pawn Endgame!!)
Rf2 was such a blunder because a pawn endgame is fatal, while exchanging bishops OR rooks would lead to drawn endgames. When Gukesh played Bd5, if White's bishop had been on g2 instead of a8, he could have played Bf1 with a completely drawn endgame.
Now those who are commenting this and that move should have really become world champion by now! Dont you think? Right? Easier said than done! No one is greater here than Gukesh! Accept it, move on and cherish the win for India🎉
Ding Liren lost the game because he was playing for a draw to take it to tiebreaks. He should have been playing to win with white. He also makes bloopers like this more frequently than he should.
13:50 maybe its all about mental strength. after a long while one who gets weak may not able to think clearly. so its not about who is expert here especially when both are good players.
AI: "Of course Gukesh never missed an opportunity like this, and immediately captured the Rook on f2." Um, no. Gukesh thought for several minutes before capturing, and said that his first thought had been to play Rb3. Letting AI make stuff up is no substitute for actual research.
a noob question - if the king takes the pawn at the end, the game is still on right? this game could have ended in a draw. Could someone explain how is this a win?
Yes, it would technically continue the game, but black has an easy path to victory with his queen. Since a king cannot move into check but each player must always move a piece, black can just trap the king by restricting valid moves until he's in a position that can be checkmated (such as a corner).
Ding had only 10 minutes left. So after 10 minutes he automatically loses basis count of remaining pieces. No need to fight for eternity and technical moves.
@@davidbornstein9197 Even Hikaru was critical of Ba8, but if it's still a draw, it doesn't matter. This isn't about principles, it's about concrete analysis. Does Ba8 do permanent damage, or not? It's that simple.
Ding was winning a couples of moves before with a full pawn ahead. How he went from that position to put an bishop on a8 and then 'blundering' his rook is a hell of a mystery.
@@GeorgeAlexopoulos-o7w Why was Gukesh allowed to play this? He is not ranked 2nd or 3rd. Are you aware of how or why he got to play the world championship rather than say Caruana or Nakumura?

It is easy to judge a mistake sitting at home... You have to consider real circumstances players feel during the match(pressure)
Ding looked exhausted coming into the game. When you don't have the energy, you make mistakes. 😢
There was even a blunder in the world championship played between S pasky & Fischer which was played in Iceland
The best explanation of the game I found on Internet!!
nah it was an ai narrative, better if people generate these in their own voices and style
@@ShaneTyas Sometimes, but not always. Some people do better to let AI do their talking for them. It sounds fake but at least it's coherent.
Exactly
Excellent commentary. The clearest and easiest to understand.
It's an AI voice lol
AI written commentary
Gukesh was ready to exchange queen fr the gain on one pawn, the game changer
Unbelievable blunder it will never be forgotten by chess players
Thank you. Great narration whilst being impeccable with the technical explanation.
Clear and straightforward job of narrating the game and explaining what was happening, without wandering off into the weeds. Subscribed....
Ding was probably tired and just wanted to exchange pieces and force a draw.
Very nice explanation. Simple with clarity till the end of the game.Thanks
The best commentary I have ever come across... Without creating a fuss and showing off like others!
This game was mostly pawn game. In End game King made vital moves. We are proud of Indian Gugesh for the Laurels he got to our country. Kesavan .
Both were laisy to launch an attack
King of Chess joins Ramanujan, King of mathematics.
My Penn State prof George Andrews recovered a lost book of Ramanujan !
Ding was also under pressure due to low time. He only had under 10 minutes, against Gukesh's 1 hour 7 minutes.
I am only 1350. Yes, I might have done the same mistake as Ding. But if I was Gukesh, after Ding blundered, I would have beaten Ding easily! Very unfortunate move by Ding to lose the game so decisively!

@@deepakdwivedi6046You are right.
15:30 d3 what would you answer?
Edit: I definetely believe you that you would've won, that is why is asked you cause I cant figure it out
@Traumatree Ding was NOT "winning a couples of moves before with a full pawn ahead" as you wrote!!
Ding was becoming nervous upon the two black pawns threatenning, ding nervously secured the diognal by occupying corner with bishop and offer his rook for exchanging threatenning black rook.
Ding makes the unexpected move Rf2, a surprising choice that shifts the dynamics of the game. Stay tuned and share your thoughts in the comments!
Excellent explanation. Loved it. So clear and lucid. Thanks.
Very nicely and in simple words explained the entire game. It was nicest explainstion how the game would have progressed and at the end how black would have won thegameby converting pawn in to bishop....🎉🎉
Not Bishop, converting to queen.
I was a little bit surprised to note that move, but kept thinking that there might be some deeper meaning

Thanks for such a complete explanation. Did not leave any more questions in my mind
Excellent explanation sir
Point by point is nice
U could have still explained y he made such mistake as per ur idea

Good explained. Thanks ❤

have basic knowledge on chess, now i have got idea that why that move was blunder, thanks for explaining
Very nice commentary. Thank you.
At the projection moves, I don't think Gukesh would have given up a pawn.
very lucid explanation. thanks for explainig what would have happened if Ding continued!
Thank you for explaining the entire game in detail.
Rf2 was such a blunder because a pawn endgame is fatal, while exchanging bishops OR rooks would lead to drawn endgames. When Gukesh played Bd5, if White's bishop had been on g2 instead of a8, he could have played Bf1 with a completely drawn endgame.

Well lively game explained 🙏

Thank you.
Kindly give all the 14
Ending of 14 - Superb 😊
This is the only video that tells you how it would have played out. Couldn’t see the win. Thanks for explaining.
5:43 Black captured the "pawn" on F4. Is this what AI is about?
Does not explain why he made the fatal blunder? Did he explain in follow up interviews?
Ding Liren lost the game because he was playing for a draw to take it to tiebreaks. He should have been playing to win with white. He also makes bloopers like this more frequently than he should.
DONT THINK TOO MUCH .. CHESS IS ALL ABOUT WHO IS CONCIOUS ALL THE TIME
Gukesh has one pawn more, so its game over already, blunder might its just a bonus.
Thanks for the explaining
Beautifully explained
Wonderful explanation
At the begining of game 14 Ding intend to Draw.But great blunder he loose the game.
I wouldn't have given up my white pawn on the queenside at all
All because of the Ba8 being trapped with no way out. If it was on c6 or g2, it would be a dead draw.
Simple! thank you for not showing us the 100 possible engine lines on every move.
14:59, *bishop
Why can't white king move to D2 at 15:36 and use the open area to keep escaping?
With two black pawns moving tandem , white king moving away is of no use . Pawns will reach to the other-end thus brining queen back into the battle .
In 8:01 why white moved pawn to b4 for exchanging queen?. That pawn is sacrificed to what reason ?
The more the major pieces leave the board, better the chances for a stalemate/draw, which was what Ding wanted, so was willing for a pawn sacrifice.
13:50 maybe its all about mental strength. after a long while one who gets weak may not able to think clearly. so its not about who is expert here especially when both are good players.
He forgot the bishop is on a1
4:57, why didnt black move from d4 diagonally to f2 to check the king, & cut off queen in next move?
Rook take bishop then
Rook take bishop, then queen can’t take queen
Its been around 20 yrs that I played chess😅 so pls excuse my blunders😅
well explained in human language a new fan
AI: "Of course Gukesh never missed an opportunity like this, and immediately captured the Rook on f2."
Um, no. Gukesh thought for several minutes before capturing, and said that his first thought had been to play Rb3. Letting AI make stuff up is no substitute for actual research.
Moving white bishop to a8 corner position was the blunder by Liren.
LEARN Chess, The Bishop was on a8 (NOT h1 as you wrote!!)
@@GeorgeAlexopoulos-o7w it was clear what he meant, to err is human
@@GeorgeAlexopoulos-o7w sorry for my mistake.what you said is correct.
thank you
What if ding moves his king to F3 and took the pond

Great video 🎉 sir
when queen retreated 2:11 why didn't black pawn take out the white?
Rf2 is big blunder of the era...
good ol' human narrator :)
Ding lost due to lack of fighting spirit. He should fight for a win instead in the last game.
Moving the Bishop to a8 square was the CRITICAL BLUNDER. THE BISHOP UNDERGONE COMPULSORY EXCHANGE.
If you don't exchange rooks you don't care if he trades bishops so its location was not a blunder by itself

@@Dhorpatanit's easy, gukesh was allowed to play this bcuz he won the Candidates, which ur fabi, Nakamura and others weren't able to win.
Instead of Rf2, Bg2 is much better or Rf1.

A world chess championship without Carlsen is like a Team B match.

Not true. You are insulting Ding as well as Gukesh
I'll be honest , I'll do the same move😢
Still doesn't explain why Ding made the blunder and lost the game. Wasn't that the whole point of this video? Smh....
That's how chess games are won or lost at this level - someone makes a blunder
When Ding is losing you play Xmas song. Shows you are another hater.
This is called being human.
Even if you are a Chinese champion.
I hope this is not match-fixing!
Ding went down inflame🔥
🤩🤩🥰🥰😍😍
Super.
Many confusing English mistakes
(about pieces and capture...)
in the otherwise good commentary.
Best wishes.
👌👍👍
💕💕😍😍💗💗
GUkesh is just too lucky in this game
Just ur mm is
Why? Because Ding played poorly, perhaps? That is the simplest explanation. Eh!
People do make mistakes you know.
dıng was never a chess champ he is a bad player played vs another bad player nepo as well magnus would easily tear them up
I really don't believe world champion would make such a low class mistake if he was not losing on purpose (放水)。
Ding has made many mistakes like this. He has also played some brilliant moves.
Many chess expert also don't believe he make mistakes.. He give the game away !! Instead of playing win in midgame or draw at end game ...
i know he s human but as a chess player u have b fierce not stup***
Gukesh become world champion by fatal mistake by ding...that what chess all about...brutal..unforgiven and savaged!
amazing
They are both nice people
But the true world Champ is Stockfisch and no human
These gms chicken out to play fish in the Championchip
Super.
