@muhammedalthaf2145 damn. My first Championship game I'm following, dare i say I'm disappointed. Is it usually like this? Does this also have anything to do with magnus wanting a change to this format
I don't mind classical.. I understand how some people find it not enjoyable but 2 players finding best moves countering each other ideas is not that bad.There was a lot of times both could blunder and kudos for not going in actually boring draws in Spanish games. Still looking forward to rapid format where we will see more dynamic plays. But first players have to earn it.
I think ding is aiming for a draw in each game even as white.... he wants to draw all classical games..... then beat gukesh in tiebreaker as ding is better than gukesh in rapid time controls....
Classical is real chess. Real thinking chess as chess is supposed to be, a battle of two minds. Not mere thoughtless game for mere entertainment of empty-headed viewers. If classical is reduced, chess as a mindpower game is over because both players will be forced to play less thinking moves. I don't care what the chess celebrities in today's mindless, substance-less chess pop culture say.
There was a very interesting Erigaisi game that got played just yesterday vs Murtas Kazhgaleyev that you might want to look into. Pretty great attack. #suggestion
in the video, at the time of 16:19 where black queen captured white knight. If Gukesh instead of trading queens and give a check on Qc8. then, he is winning right?
I for one, Appreciate you putting up the score now Antonio! Thank you for that (we're just so used to you putting up the tournament standings after a match usually lol, but i understand this is 1 on 1 for the world title)
"Hello everyone". Is a perfect intro man... The well crafted expansion only took away from the truly personal nature of your videos. ... Regardless of the annoying game-play, manufacturing draws etc. Your content is always top notch. 👍✌️
I’ve been waking up at 4 in the morning to watch these games that start at 5 pm Singapore time . I know the game starts in Croatia at 10:00 am Singapore being 7 hours ahead of Croatia’s time and 13 hours ahead NY time . I guess the players should have plenty of time to get some sleep in before the games start . Of course I’m rooting for Gukesh a draw is better than a loss . I like the fact Gukesh is searching for a way to take advantage at some point in the game just hasn’t really happened . As long as he keeps at it I think it will optimistically . The Medo Bot is no pushover I lost like 3 in row before winning twice . It’s good that it doesn’t blunder as much as other Bots that make obvious mistakes . With 5 games to go I hope we have some decisive games so the player with more points wins without the tie breaks id rather see it determined in the classical games since its that kind of tournament . Thanks Agadmator have a great day as well
Never thought i would ever say this about an ad in youtube video, but i really like the new ad in your videos.. the music, the pics, the duration, the avatars and the bark!!
King stepped back in the end was a gesture of respect I think. Ding appreciates Gukesh by not trying to insult him with a worthless pawn end game. They are true warriors.
the position at 17.15 made me think of the Aronian vs Carlsen draw in the candidates 2013. The video is called a Heart in Perfect Symmetry, which is a very poetic title for that game.
I'm loving the score interface. maybe you can also add them in the future below player elo like their current score in the tournament 3/0/1 W/L/D or something #suggestion
It would be nice if you could, only for the world championship matches, in the end of the video to tell us what rating performance both participants play, as there is much discussions that the quality of the games at least for the first 6 games was low performance

I know people want fireworks and both players to push for the win all the time and play cavalier lines where they disregard their score, but that is never going to happen. This was absolutely high level chess. Both are too well prepared, and strong over the board to calculate what to do when they are out of prep. Both are playing so accurately, and when that happens it will be a draw. Who is going to have that one secret bit of prep they are holding in reserve? Or can find that magical move on the board (as Ding did last time) to force a decisive result? Sure, the games are not really thrilling, but the tension sure is cranking up!
Gukesh draw as white is kinda like a loss because he can’t really afford to go into Rapids against Ding. The gap is pretty significant. Playing for win against Ding as Black is pretty risky. So now what happens if Ding plays super drawish forced lines in his 3 white games? Gukesh has only 2 games as White to push. If those are drawn we will go to rapid tiebreaks where Ding has significant advantage.
Ding might call the draw early. But I think he wanted to let Gukesh feel how he tortured him! Nice approach by ding. I think champion is coming back on form. Waiting to see the tie breaker.
Ding is playing bunker chess. gukesh is better in long time controls where he can spend time to calculate in tie-breakers which are fast time controls that will favor Ding and that seems to be his plan, similar to what Magnus did to Fabi in their WWC match.
I played with our good friend Medo and I think within Christmas look, he's not strong enough as he was. Medo played Duras Gambit and the game was finished quickly.

Today, these players played without mistakes or inaccuracies, at a level similar to mine - that is, Stockfish. Not bad for mere mortals.

Completely new game!!!! In every videos. Love it.
The eye contact declined handshake.
It is absolutely amazing that you point out the lack of eye contact in each hand shake video.

You comment implies Ding wins.

Gukesh's strength is classical.
If it goes to Armageddon, Ding has a higher probability of success.
the even score says the opposite so far.
Fantastic review . Never tire of your fab commentary

Hi Agad it's 5 more rounds to go not 6 at the end of video. Thank you for wonderful recap of game 9😊
Dam my man your math is incredibly accurate 😅I’m joking brother good point
Thanks for adding the score ❤
As much as decisive wins are fun, this is such high level play you have to admire it. Ultimately though, somebody’s gonna have to win.
You're right. For World Classical chess champion it should be decided in classical.
omg, the line at 8:45 ... too good
10:05 this position for white is incredible 😮😮 i love those sidelines you offer
crazy that you put the score. i was literally thinking about commenting last video that you should put that up somewhere in the video.
Hi Antonio, who do you think has more chances to win the championship?
Thank you for showing a picture of the handshake and making a comment
lol "Long Awaited", you had me going!
Interesting how there was so much fight to avoid the ending they ended up getting anyways.
Great analysis as always. One suggestion - can you add an Engine evaluation bar on the board as well
These two guys are pretty evenly matched. I thought Gukesh would be up a full point. Hoping for a clear victory in round 14.
I'm loving the score interface. maybe you can also add them in the future below player elo like their current score in the tournament 3/0/1 W/L/D or something #suggestion
You're right about the Classical format being better.

Thanks for adding the score.
the handshake foto looked like back then second grade on the way to swimming lessons, holding hands with EACH OTHER
What a surprise for Gukesh, the match is not "a walk in the park". Ding is playing better than Hikaru expected.
I appreciate the score!!
Ty sir!
Look forward to seeing this interpretation every day
First guy who bring the chess to youtube..since 5k i am the sub

Dang! Well done guys!
It was at the odd handshake, that the players agre to a draw.
When b4 was played, I knew someone is very happy 😂
Ps. Wanted to comment this as soon as it was played.
I know people want fireworks and both players to push for the win all the time and play cavalier lines where they disregard their score, but that is never going to happen. This was absolutely high level chess. Both are too well prepared, and strong over the board to calculate what to do when they are out of prep.

Gukesh draw as white is kinda like a loss because he can’t really afford to go into Rapids against Ding. The gap is pretty significant. Playing for win against Ding as Black is pretty risky. So now what happens if Ding plays super drawish forced lines in his 3 white games? Gukesh has only 2 games as White to push. If those are drawn we will go to rapid tiebreaks where Ding has significant advantage.
While stepping back with the king was nice, I feel like a stalemate would have been funny, where that's the end result of this position.
Great video as always! I’m just curious, why did both clocks disappear around 16:19?
*Why didn't ding went for h5 in the end instead of f6 ??*
Just love❤ your chess videos
I find it very strange that we don't have any Sicilian game so far in this WCC. Does anyone know if it has ever happened before?
The Sicilian is very risky but usually played close to end game.
Ding might call the draw early. But I think he wanted to let Gukesh feel how he tortured him! Nice approach by ding. I think champion is coming back on form. Waiting to see the tie breaker.
I miss medo dude :')

Why wasn't it Qc8 checkmate for white just before the queen exchange? Move 26.
In Indian culture a slight bow is a sign of respect. A hand shake is a western overlay.
Antonio, can you run a poll to ask who will win the championship?
You will never understand my love for the spoiler blocker dudes
"The long-awaited Game Nine." Long awaited since Game Eight which was yesterday. 😂😂😂
Need Gukesh without engine game he played before his mind calculation
at 14:49, retake with Bc5, threatening the N on c6 and_ the pawn on f2.
This is why I don't care for classical. Given enough time these players usually find perfect moves. Rapid is the way to go.
I disconnected from this channel for a while due to work. I really miss medo rolling on the couch in the back during the whole game 😢

He tolerated when he played against Fabi.

Refreshing to have insufficient material draws instead of threefold ones, I guess
could you maybe add their accuracies at the end of games? not that it's too relevant but i believe im not the only one that likes to know the numbers
