Finally, the only possible review of the game. I've been following all of GM Daniel King's recaps since 2014, during the Carlsen vs. Anand match. Without a doubt, he is the best analyst of World Championships and Candidates Tournaments. Now I'll watch a brilliant analysis! Cheers.
Very well said, I definitely would like to see Daniel King writing a book on these very interesting chess games. His video commentary would fit well in a lovely book or two.
After watching the first game of this world championship I began watching your video course on the French defence produced by Foxy Openings in the 1990s. It was fun watching that and I learned a lot from it. I am thinking to use French as my main weapon against e4 now.
After Black's move b6, Hikaru Nakamura, in his coverage of the game, advocates Ba6 and says he can't even understand why it wasn't played. What's your take on that?
Thank you, Sir Daniel King! Your recaps and analysis is always the best! High level explanations, but still undertandable for non-GMs like me. I am wondering: why is Ding playing so unambitiously with the White pieces? It doesn't seem he wants to even do an effort to press for an advantage. And he did this before, I believe also in his previous match against Nepo. Seems like just throwing away chances with White? I remember Kasparov and perhaps most GM players take the potential of the White pieces very seriously. Ding doesn't seem to? I am confused.
Chess has changed since the days of Kasparov. He often tried to find ways to get a thumping advantage in the opening and worked so hard in his preparation away from the board, researching diligently using a team of people (and his own prodigious strength) that he sometimes achieved that. Nowadays, with the prevalence of powerful computers to assist with prep, one cannot expect to blow an opponent off the board in the same way. What you can try to do is achieve a position that your opponent finds difficult or unusual from a human point of view; or perhaps achieve a position with a slight initiative that you might be able to convert into something more. Think of how Carlsen handled the opening in his World Championship match against Nepo. Ding almost got a small pleasant advantage today, but Gukesh was alert to the danger and succeeded in neutralising his opponent's play. That's good chess from both players - even if it might not thrill the masses. Remember, there are still ten games to go.
A lot of other people who are analyzing games are talking about ding settling for a draw too early, it is really hard to understand but if i have to guess, I'd say he is really not confident of his play going towards the 5th or 6th hour He is imo avoiding long games
At the drink-and-think I didn't like b6 because Ba6 would have been annoying. But maybe after the rook moves there isn't much more that White can do with that.
Nice commentary but I really doubt there was any serious intent behind White's Q-side oawn asvance when Ding didn't commit heavy pieces behind their advance i see that advance as an unsuccessful attempt to discourage Black c5 dislodging an intended bastion on d4. IMO Ding shiuld have played d4 setting up a Carlsbad oawn structure which likely would have led to playing either with or against an IQP whuch Ding was striving for
The FIDE should agree upon moves of extreme meekness and put sanctions in place, for example one electro shock per move while the game is being played. Come on ...
GM Hikaru also criticized Ding for not pushing harder today in his review. Meanwhile Anish Giri in his review said it was fine, as Ding will be ok to go into the tiebreaks, the onus is on Gukesh, and if he tries too hard tomorrow, Ding will have chances just like in the first game.
I wonder why not Ne4 instead of Be4? If White exchanges Bxe4 then Gukesh gets a bishop vs knight. Combine that with the passed c pawn and Black has some decent possibilities. I can't imagine Fischer wouldn't have gone for that...

I finally did it! Thank you again for the amazing coverage - I am so appreciative for breaking down these games so quickly after they are completed.

I just wanted to comment nearly the same thing. 🙂

It’s absolutely excellent but I also like Levy’s analysis.
your voice has such a calming effect, You teach so well in your courses sir. Wish I could have you a guiding light in my chess journey. :)
Thank you for taking the time to review all these magnificent games.
Great. I have been sitting next to my laptop waiting for this! You rule Daniel. Thanks for the lesson.
thank you for recap!
Thabks for the coverage
thanks for the review!🙂
Thanks Daniel for the excellent analysis!
thnk sir, always waiting for your excellent & informative analysis...

A classic!
Thank you Mr King! Looking forward to being able to follow a game live tomorrow.
Great analysis 👍
excellently played game. No idea who is the better player at this point.
Ding was threatening to put pressure, but Gukesh defended accurately and calmly.
Love your reviews Daniel. Would like to give you a game sometime
I've got to admit it, this is the best coverage. Not the fastest, but certainly worth waiting for.
After Black's move b6, Hikaru Nakamura, in his coverage of the game, advocates Ba6 and says he can't even understand why it wasn't played. What's your take on that?
Now I can have lunch! ❤
Me too.
The fact that neither of them favored f4 over the board while commentators did is interesting.
Because it is very easy to suggest committal moves, but at the board prudence takes over.
Attended today's game, got to meet GM Kosteniuk!
Was hoping for a game after a rest day to have more meat about it, but alas
Move 28.... you still need to be switched on... very true!

Keymer Opening
Would enjoy game bar on side of board

it's not the move which deserves hell, it's its poor vindication.
Im 2000 Rated in lichess. What should I do to improve to 2300 level ?
Less blitz, more longer games
At the drink-and-think I didn't like b6 because Ba6 would have been annoying. But maybe after the rook moves there isn't much more that White can do with that.
I thought about c5 immediately instead of b6 first (which I didn’t consider). Why doesn’t this work - because d5 gets too weak?
Nice commentary but I really doubt there was any serious intent behind White's Q-side oawn asvance when Ding didn't commit heavy pieces behind their advance i see that advance as an unsuccessful attempt to discourage Black c5 dislodging an intended bastion on d4.

Why is Ding forcing himself to win with black!
He had a choice for solidity in the last black game but didn't take it
Really strange strategy
If I had won with the french Id play for a win with black too
GM Hikaru also criticized Ding for not pushing harder today in his review. Meanwhile Anish Giri in his review said it was fine, as Ding will be ok to go into the tiebreaks, the onus is on Gukesh, and if he tries too hard tomorrow, Ding will have chances just like in the first game.

White doesn’t have to take on Ne4 though, that’s the point
@AJmoveinsilence then Nd2 is coming and Black takes on f3 eventually
The ghost of Fischer. After 50 years, still haunting us!
@@PowerPlayChess Well it certainly doesn't haunt Gukesh 😁
@@cymeonn i thought some Bg4 as an answer to Nd2 and we’ve probably got a decent game still
I got b6, am I world champion material??
Practice, practice.
Clearly.
@@PowerPlayChess😂😂😂 British sarcasm of the highest order
ding played for a draw,and he will lose next game.
Little pawn moves. Played by every top player in the world . LOL
