Sorry, I really don't care if these two players are playing the world championship, it is so unprofessional not to being able to handle the clock properly. Terrible time management. I understand why for Magnus has become boring playing finals.
Best game, so far, in my opinion. Very complex, very sharp Game. Unreal. Guk is only 18. Pretty sick. This is a big one. Not just for gukesh- but for the country of India
@irfanyamashita7184 I don't know you... You're looking at that blunder the wrong way. Sometimes the threat, is worse than the execution. At any fucking level. Ding is human, not a computer
This shows how accurate these two are playing, recognizing the blunder & ending as soon as the play is made... They have earned their chairs !!! They are as close to being equals as I have seen playing in a very long time. I cannot choose a side and wish them both the best and the rest of the tournament well done !!!! Thanks again Jerry !!!
Thanks for the excelente coverage if the games, Jerry! I'm proud that I found the only move and the follow up to fend off the pressure on that pawn. But I'm sure it was because of all your videos and instructive commentary all these years.
Of course, being an indian, I'm biased towards gukesh, but honestly after 7 straight draws this was exactly the game the championship needed. Less than 30 moves, sharp positions with "only moves", a beautiful knight manoeuvre and a dramatic and shocking blunder to finish.
I'm American, but I'm pulling for Gukesh because he has a personality. The chess world is a sad place when the champion is a boring, timid guy like Ding.
@@cptnoremac I agree. And at least Gukesh is trying to put Ding on the back foot in almost every game. Ding is just playing survival chess. Gukesh has attitude 😎
For those of us who are impartial, it's still a good thing for drama purposes that Gukesh won this game. Ding has two chances with the White pieces and he can no longer settle for peaceful resolutions.
18:34 what if he does not capture bishop? Anyone explore that? He's down a piece so maybe people say GMs can't come back and win if they are down an entire minor piece? He could let the pawn drop and just use that tempo to try and do something else? Maybe it's lost already?
True. Everyone thought Ding was done against Nepo at one point too, and in the candidates tournament before that. He always seems to find a way. They should make a movie about him
So glad someone finally broke the tie streak. Now Ding will be forced to play less safely. Anyone watch the conference after the game? Ding left after a minute to "compose himself" and never came back. I guess he was about to cry.
Hi jerry, I'm wondering if you could spend a few more minutes on the opening part of the game maybe explaining a little bit of the match strategy for us! Love from italy!
Am I the only one who feels Ding has had horrible time management all tournament? He keeps spending large chunks of time of his first 10 moves, and this is the second game now he’s lost due to time. The first game he lost, he just flat-out got flagged. Kinda shocking to see at this high level play. Also, it feels like they keep shortening the time controls for matches every few years. Maybe in an effort to make it more exciting? Except those of us who follow the game know that longer time controls are actually better, they produce cleaner play and allow games to be decided more by raw skill.
Until move 40 the time control has increased actually. I am forgetting the previous wc time controls so Maybe i am wrong. If previously it was 90+30 for 40 moves, then we got more time in this format at until move 40 we got 120 min. Meanwhile with 90+30 until move 40 we only get 110 min max. If it was 120+30 in previous championship then you are right.
The long time controls force players to play suboptimal options with long memorization if they want to play for a win. I don't agree with your assertion about raw skill.
Incredible analysis. I mean seriously, other channels are not even close. Bro explains the idea behind every move in the position, played or not. Big Kudos.
Great analysis Jerry as always and finally you got the clock time in the analysis 😀, I was thinking why it is hard ? May be because you were using a specific software as you mentioned earlier ?
Tomorrow will be fire on the board. At least there should be some risky plays from Ding. Can't imagine the prep work for both sides now. Thanks for your high quality coverage!
Really interesting how the funky knight move went to a strategic square in the position, and from there, a fireworks of tactics shot off. So much talk about the time element in chess, yet all those moves for that premium equestrian paid off with a prize winning finish. As one guy I knew once loved to say, "Eemasing! Isn't that eemasing!?"
Thank you so much for explaining slowly and clearly. I couldn’t understand why what Ding did was such a huge mistake until now. Tried listening to others but they just speak too fast, for me anyway, only a beginner in chess.
At this level it is impossible to draw the game after -3 right? Thanks for the answer. I am just a beginner and everyone tells: don't give up even if your behind material...
oh wow! i was watching live, but had to go to bed partway through. after Gukesh's hour-long think it felt like the tide was turning in Ding's favor, but apparently i left just before it switched back. congrats Gukesh!
Shocking that Ding grabbed the b-pawn opening up the flood gates for White’s rooks. Gukesh’s play was exemplary & shows that his team has analyzed Ding’s games very deeply & in this one their hard work paid off.
Great match so far. I don't really have a favorite although for some reason I've been kind of rooting for gukesh. The few games that have been decisive have been awesome and some of the draws just as intense. If I'm remembering correctly, games 3 7 and 11 stand out to me but I could be mistaken. Anyways, excellent analysis and commentary as usual. Thank you
Sorry, I really don't care if these two players are playing the world championship, it is so unprofessional not to being able to handle the clock properly. Terrible time management. I understand why for Magnus has become boring playing finals.
I have a question for Jerry, or anyone who might be knowledgable to answer: I consistently see Ding taking a long time to make his moves, which is fine, but he even takes a lot of time to make his opening moves. I think he took about a minute to make his first move in this game and he is similarly taking a minute or two to play essentially book moves that he knows like the back of his hands. Why is this happening? I have played chess competitively myself up until me early 20s, and I can understand in some way why. Even in the first move, despite knowing most, if not all, variations, you take some time to get a feel of what you are up to playing that particular moment. For example, even something as simple as 1. e4 or d4, you could go into the game knowing beforehand what you are gonna play and even what your second move is going to be depending on black's reply. I understand taking some time ON THE BOARD to feel out yourself and your opponent at that moment to see which style of play might be best for you at that time (more dynamic, more controlled, do I wanna go for a draw instead of a win?), but the way Ding is playing, it feels like he is wasting precious time in the beginning that he doesn't really recover from. Yes, those 5-6 minutes he could have saved early on are super precious. He essentially lost this game today and potentially the whole match for a very easy to spot blunder while still having 7 minutes on the clock. He left the time pressure at that moment, when he could have had 15 minutes, let's say, and keep the ball rolling. TL;DR: Why is Ding taking such a long time to even play his first moves?
From the position at 12:32 as you said the computer says, easy 0, for a human it's also easy to assess as 'equal'. It's equal in that we know someone is winning and someone is losing but both look just as equally likely to win or lose 😅
What about pawn f5 for Ding's last move? White queen would have to then retreat,e2 seeming the best option, then the knight could be played to b4 and the d4 pawn would survive. Gukesh would have the bishop targeting b7 but the exchange would be equal.
Good video. I think this game is the one to decide the championship towards Gukesh; GM Ding Liren is a world chess champion tho, he can do it if he brings up his full 2800+ power: It looks that is it all over, however the champion has a very unique style. If the champion manages to win this one, that would be very impressive, because it would mean he still can get even stronger as a chess player; (polishing his way to approach the game.) Is a point of inflexion for growth, no coaching or candidate match could give him this opportunity to surpass himself.
Was rooting for Ding at the start of this, but am now very happy to see him lose after he basically decided he was going to punt on the last 8 games of this match.
Maybe it’s just me but I feel like ding keeps on spending too much time on some of the moves. He also feels like to aim for draws. Gukesh has a more aggressive playstyle which I prefer…
Something is wrong somewhere. This win was too elementary. A GM should have seen the queen sac. Ding had a better position with one pawn up. This is the easiest win ever in the chess world championship. My intuition tells me something which for now I keep to myself.
It’s a mystery. Ding’s Up and Down performances over the past year. I’m expecting Ding to show the world why he’s World Chess Champion in the last three games. Jerry you are unlike so many who are wishing Ding to lose. Excellent analysis. I always take something positive away from your study of the game. Thanks.
@arnoudh6203 Oh yeah? Ding is dozens of spots higher in ranking than Gukesh in rapid chess rankings. Yet he is crumbling under pressure while he should be demolishing Gukesh. Tsk tsk
I am not sure whether Ding was the worst champion but he is certainly the luckiest. Karjakin's disqualification gave Ding a spot in the 2022 candidates tournament. Ding then came second in that tournament and got a spot in the championship match due to Magnus not playing.....

I said it after the first game that Ding lost, but I'll say it again:
It looks like Ding took himself into a deep, dark forest.
Best game, so far, in my opinion. Very complex, very sharp Game. Unreal. Guk is only 18. Pretty sick. This is a big one. Not just for gukesh- but for the country of India
more ppl in india will play chess. more sponsorship from Indian companies
Best game? A game with amateur blunder is a best game?

Wonderful .. thank you Jery .. please keep the the moves on the excel sheet to appear on the right of the board as usually do .. Thanks again
Thanks. That setup isn’t easy to implement in a timely fashion unfortunately.
18:34 what if he does not capture bishop? Anyone explore that? He's down a piece so maybe people say GMs can't come back and win if they are down an entire minor piece? He could let the pawn drop and just use that tempo to try and do something else? Maybe it's lost already?
As usual. I love your explanation. Understood the game so much more after coming here.
Thank you Jerry for another great review of this chess championship!
Finally, a tactically interesting game!
It's not over yet!
I’m afraid it is
I think Ding will be under more pressure and might even lose with White pieces today
True. Everyone thought Ding was done against Nepo at one point too, and in the candidates tournament before that. He always seems to find a way. They should make a movie about him
@Hakapuku oh it's over is it? Aren't you a genius calling the result of a WCC match with 3 games to go
@@TheLetterH111 I like his confidence as well. Like I have no idea who is going to win... but his comment is hilarious to read after today's match.
Thank you, Jerry. Really instructive lesson about how critical clock management can be. Amazing that it happens even at the super GM level.
Thanks for the great analysis and for the added time controls, it was exciting to see on what moves they spent more time! 🙂
16:16 wonder what ding didnt like about Rd6, seems to me like a much more promising approach playing g6 compared to what happened in the game
So glad someone finally broke the tie streak. Now Ding will be forced to play less safely.
Anyone watch the conference after the game? Ding left after a minute to "compose himself" and never came back. I guess he was about to cry.
Not to kid about that… he was also in therapy, I’ve read.
Depression is no joke 😢
@Hakapuku Hope he feels better.
China is pretty harsh on there players compared to India
Great video!
A fantastic game played by Gukesh! Thank you, Jerry, for your commentary.

Thanks Jerry!
It is wonderful that you predicted good moves ❤

Holy shiza... both players made some very awesome moves. Super entertaining game.

Gukesh deserves the championship for his bold play.
It was such a sigh of relief not having another draw.
It just shows how he's only human, buckling under pressure and fatigue. Hopefully he can come back stronger.
Nice!
Yes This is Gukesh. in the way to win the chempionship congratulations
Well done Gukesh 🔥

If black king moves to g7 so game would be continued?
That game was so exciting, Gukesh rewarded for bold play, forcing Ding’s fatal error on the bell.
Gukesh just won the world championship
Ding had bad sleep or bad prep?
Well it might get a little more exciting now after the series of draws
"Always playing Na1!" -Julian Proleiko
Great ending. It only takes one move.
Allez allez
One Indian guy said it's a massacre win for Gukesh but it did not happen. It takes lots of stressful games before Gukesh got lucky.
Hi Jerry
Hope Ding can get some real sleep 💤 and rest tonight 😮 and forget about throwing away another rare winning chance from game 11.
The 'L' diagram of the knight move is gone!! Hooray!
dont worry gukesh will be champion, its a political chess, not competitive chess anymore . thats why magnus didnt play
I prefer The pressure from Gukesh in this game.
Why ding not continue this game
Because after all the trades he was going to be a full piece (knight) down in material.
After check why ding offered resign...both have same power ....I don't know why didn't try to escape and not try to draw ...
Once again Ding burned too much time in the opening.
Was rooting for Ding at the start of this, but am now very happy to see him lose after he basically decided he was going to punt on the last 8 games of this match.
Obsidian game!
This championship is really heating up! And both players seem very likeable, so I'm happy no matter who wins, because they played such a nice match!
That g6 looked like a really bad move. Impressed by a4 and especially b6.
Maybe it’s just me but I feel like ding keeps on spending too much time on some of the moves. He also feels like to aim for draws. Gukesh has a more aggressive playstyle which I prefer…
DING COLLAPSING!!
Hope Ding wins.

Poor Ding it's time to stop playing chess to recover serenity
It's comforting to see that I play at the level of the world champion.
It’s a mystery. Ding’s Up and Down performances over the past year. I’m expecting Ding to show the world why he’s World Chess Champion in the last three games. Jerry you are unlike so many who are wishing Ding to lose. Excellent analysis. I always take something positive away from your study of the game. Thanks.

First. Amazing video, thanks Gary ❤
Can anyone explain checkmate, the king can go diagnolly and save himself right
So he resigned as soon as he blundered the Knight no checkmate
at 12:15 , if knight takes rook there would be queen takes e7 mate supported by the bishop if you meant that
The resignation by Ding was because he was going to end up a piece (knight) down after the trades.
Ding fans: Ding is #1 in rapid chess
Also Ding fans: Ding is under time pressure😅😅😅
Idk what you think but in my eyes those two facts combine well
@arnoudh6203 Oh yeah? Ding is dozens of spots higher in ranking than Gukesh in rapid chess rankings. Yet he is crumbling under pressure while he should be demolishing Gukesh. Tsk tsk
@@MikeyDiff Him crumbling under time pressure is a different fact

No matter who of these two gemoks become world champion, it will be a disgrace for Chess.
Sucks..
If he were allowed Ding would have given up the title from the very first game.
So glad ding is going to lose this match. Easily the worst champion of all time.
