      I found it fascinating how Giri (the world's #6) couldn't figure out the idea behind it. and yet it's obvious once you see it. to me that's the type of beauty in chess that's reminiscent of Bobby Fischer and his approach. aggressive, positional, far-sighted, clean, and looking easy in retrospection (unless you try to replicate it yourself)

      @@spirituallyjazzy I think Nepo personality is ill suited to long grinds which is what classical World Chess Championship is a lot. I mean when he has a chance to get that perpetual or equalize he had like an hour on the clock and he moves his bishop after only 3 minutes. That … just won’t do. No way Magnus or really any other top 10 player would do that. You sit and you calculate. Especially if you have time. That’s why during chess commentary the time on the clock provides such critical context and really that info should somehow be conveyed. He inexplicably rushed the move and the line that would have saved him, while not obvious, was WELL within his abilities to find given some thought. Nepo tends to do this when things are very tense. Remember what Magnus said? “He plays bad moves quickly.” Harsh but not inaccurate and in this game led to his undoing. That’s what he was so upset. I just pray this doesn’t put him on tilt like last year.

      Why so many decisive games? Two reasons: (1) they have both allowed themselves to fall into positions where they don't feel comfortable; (2) when it gets to critical moments they haven't defended well. Of course (2) is related to (1).

    What i like most about Daniel is how his understanding shines when going through threats and options that lead to dead ends, before going on to discuss what actually happened - it gives an idea about just how much work those guys are doing on the chessboard.
    Meanwhile, everyone else goes by "he did this; computer says no - missed this move". It's nice to see that this is a new Golden Age of Chess, and people are showing more and more interest, but they are missing out on the best one around here on the TH-cams.

      When playing against Magnus there is weight of history because you know of you make smallest mistake you likely will lose. It’s part of Magnus effect. At the super GM level if you really want to you can steer game into very equal and drawish lines. This is inevitably what occurs against Magnus because of how deadly he is. Here Nepo and Ding respect each other but there isn’t this feeling that one mistake is certain defeat. Thus both sides are willing to take some more chances. If they played like this against Magnus they may be down 2 points in four games and match is already over.

    I am glad Carlsen is not playing. I still remember that 12 game draw against Fabi, it was miracle that there was a decisive game against Karjakin and Anand(rematch). Basically we have to be lucky to get a decisive game with Carlsen, not sure why. Maybe everyone is cautious? This a brilliant match. And those who think that world #1 should be world champion - Kasparov retired as #1 and wasn't a champion. Later Anand was champion when he was not #1, nobody questioned his crown.

      Carlsen is extremely good at winning in simplified, drawish positions, so he has little reason to strive for more in the earlier phases of the game. The result is often a series of draws, but Carlsen doesn't care, because he's confident that his opponent will eventually crack.

    24:50 after Nd5 B played Kh8 to defend against Nf6. A nice variation (which I think Giri didn't mention in the commentary) was: Nd5 - a3; Nf6 - Kh8; Qg7! Rg7; Rc8 and mate to follow.

    When you don't play the best move in the position but what you find (d5) is so beatiful, everyone prefers it.

    At 20.44 it appears like white is in hopeless situation. When i saw this position i thought it is over for white. Black queen and bishop close to white king and white king is exposed. Only some chess experts can see intricate things. Even more surprising thing for me was the computer evaluation bar showing white is better by huge margin.

    Hey, I just found this channel and really enjoy the analysis, thank you :).
    One question; 5:56 - does white win a piece here? Doesn't black have Qb6 or Qc5?
    Edit: just seen a few similar comments nevermind :)

    The funny thing is that the mate with Rf8 assisted by white pawns on d5 and h5 is EXACTLY the same mate that Hikaru blundered into against Fabiano about a week ago! Amazingly rare tactic seen twice in swift succession at the highest level.

    After the opening, and Re1, this just looked like a "Ding" position. Nagging slight positional pull. Nothing much. But Ding knew clamping with a4,A5 would give him the advantage.....
    The finish was beautiful. Ding is modest, but can play tactics as well as Nepo.
    Who wins from here.... Either way, wonderful entertainment....

    I actually recognized d5 for what it was really doing only after Qc7 was played. I have seen it in the Woodpecker course on Chessable or another tactics book or course before, and I've had it in my own games before where I probably did it on accident. I might've shut off the escape square on purpose when it was easier to calculate once or twice, but never with the foresight Ding had this game.

    I came out and supported Ding before the match started. He had a very wobbly start but has recovered. As is often the case it will not necessarily be decided on chess ability alone but by which player handles the pressure better. PowerPlay to 100k.

    6:01 Perhaps black can avoid material loss with Qc5 or Qb6. Still, after exf6 Qxb5 fxg7 Kxg7, black would be saddled with structural and king safety weaknesses.

      Maybe, but Giri and Howell didn't see the mating net in commentary either, until chat said it was there.

  • @tonysu8860

    A very captivating match.
    But it should be noted and been noted in these videos that both players in this match have largely chosen not to engage in theoretical disputes which is not typical of highest level competition. There is a reason why theory becomes more critically important at ever higher levels of competition, it's because errors are that more consistently punished without given a second chance. Theory typically means a certain degree of control and predictability in the position achieved. I can see why both players can feel that their personal strengths in over the board analysis can be a superior strength... Ding has played relatively few games in his professional career that doesn't start with d4 and Nepo is especially creative but I wonder if lack of preparation due to Magnus' delayed announcement he'd be abdicating and wouldn't be playing in this Championship Match means that supporting teams didn't have enough time to gather, gel and formulate the usual strategy and repertoire challengers bring to this kind of competition.
    It's that lack of preparation that's probably the reason for the high number of decisive results. One side isn't necessarily disfavored, but both players probably had less time than usual to prepare for a known opponent (Carlsen) and both players are essentially Challengers in more than just their competitive name.

    I watched several comments on the match. For now, as for the content, number one is Daniel Dubov, no. 2 is Daniel King. But as for the form and content together no. 1 is Daniel King.

    A Battle Royale!
    1st: It's Nepo!
    Then Ding!
    Nepo again!
    Ding!
    One knocks down the other and then gets up and knocks him back down!
    Quite a brawl.
