| Jun-01-09 | | hellopolgar: nice win by Ding. |
|
| Jun-01-09 | | luzhin: Yes, the threat of 36.Bd3 is too strong. |
|
| Jun-02-09 | | s4life: what a game!.. and against a 2720 superGM. |
|
| Jun-07-09 | | Bons92: 27. Bf6+! is a great move.. How many players would have played Bf4 without thinking?? |

|
| Jun-07-09 | | Ecplecticos: A 2400's+ grinding out a 2700's+...
These ELO's numbers are just plain, well, plain numbers by the players's name reflecting who is rated higher and lower between the two, but not necessarily who has the superior play... |
|
| Jun-07-09 | | Ecplecticos: That White Bishop at f6 is a tower of power, leaving the two Black Rooks watching helplessly, immobilized and blaming each other for the sorry state of their predicament...lols. |

| Jun-07-09 | | notyetagm: 27 ♗g5-f6+!

|
| Jun-08-09 | | JohnBoy: 27.Bf6+ is a truly great move. The main thing though is that white must see how to win, i.e. the idea behind the next 10 moves, in order to play it with mastery. That is impressive. How old is this kid? Ding Dong! |

Can you imagine beating a 2724(!!)-rated player like this when you're only 16??? |

| Jun-10-09 | | jeeky1996: Beautiful, simply beautiful. This looks like a young Tal or Carlsen. |

| Jun-12-09 | | notyetagm: <jeeky1996: Beautiful, simply beautiful. This looks like a young Tal or Carlsen.> Absolutely. |
|
| Jun-12-09 | | totololo: It looks to me more like a computer style.....Look also to his other wins |
|
| Jun-12-09 | | Shams: if 29...Re4 what is white's best? |
|
| Jun-13-09 | | JohnBoy: <Shams: if 29...Re4 what is white's best?> The way I see it, white can keep it simple and play 30.Rxe4 Bxe4 31.Kf4 - no matter what black does, white takes the advanced e pawn and controls both queening squares d8 and h8 with the monster bishop. The black B cannot forever control both d7 and h7. |
|
| Jun-13-09 | | Shams: <JohnBoy> Thank you, in the day or so since my post I returned and came to the same conclusion. Bishops and passed pawns in the ending! |
|
| Jul-01-09 | | MostlyAverageJoe: Possible Thursday or difficult Wednesday puzzle (or so my evaluation algorithm claims, although personally I don't think it is that difficult): White to move (34.?).

| Jul-01-09 | | arsen387: this game is a beauty! |
|
| Jul-01-09 | | NewLine: I would save this pun for his eye-blink victory in the final round, the one that ensured him the championship, just by 3 clock Dings... Zhou Jianchao vs Ding Liren, 2009 |
|
| Jul-01-09 | | MostlyAverageJoe: When I looked at the game, in this position, black to move: 
click for larger viewit appeared to me that primary candidate moves for the black would be Kh7 or Bh7 to block the pawn and the file. Hiarcs confirms that indeed, these are the two best moves (although it rates Bh7 slightly better than Kh7 that would have been my guess). But both are way better than the disastrous Bg6? It is rather surprising that a super-GM blundered there, no? |
|
| Jul-01-09 | | Once: <MAJ> I think you are right. For all the eulogising, this seems more a game lost than a game won. Fritz has white's advantage as a little more than a pawn right up to 33...Bg6?. Then the eval jumps to over +5. So it seems that black had a reasonable defensive plan of Kh7 and Bg6, but unfortunately got the order wrong. Fritz also prefers Bh7 here, when all is safely protected. How often do we see mistakes after move 30? Time pressure perhaps? Was 27. Bf6+ such a great move? It leads to an interesting position, but is by no means a clear win. Fritz marginally prefers the prosaic 27. Bf4 (+1.5) to 27. Bf6+ (+1.04). But neither would have won quickly without black's assistance. A young Tal? Not really. It is a very impressive game for his age (and far far better than I will ever be able to play), but I prefer it when the combinations don't rely on mistakes by the opponent. |

| Jul-01-09 | | randomsac: Great job of applying pressure on the black king. Awesome finish. |
|
| Jul-01-09 | | Eisenheim: Who else would not have been able to resist - 15 e5 Qd8, 16 d6 and have a nice passed pawn, solid center and cramped black. is that a bad line from anyones experience? |
|
| Jul-01-09 | | WhiteRook48: 36 Bd3!! will follow.
Now, who's at the door? |
|
| Jul-01-09 | | Chess Addict: 15. e5 simply drops the pawn on d5, since it is also attacked by e6. Personally, I am surprised by the move 12. Qd2. It looks like an error on first sight, but prepares f4 for a pawn roller. |
