Jun-10-19		Count Wedgemore: Now Ding has an important strategic decision to make. Shall he take back on g6 with the f-pawn or the h-pawn? If he plays 24...fxg6, he gets a passer on the h-file. The flipside is that White gets a passer on the e-file. But an outside passed pawn may be better than a central one. So 24...fxg6 looks better than 24...hxg6, at least to me.

Jun-10-19		Ulhumbrus: 25...Rc7-d7 makes way for the move ...Kc7

Jun-10-19		BOSTER: <CW> You are right, and now rooks are united.

Jun-10-19		Ulhumbrus: 26...Rc7-d7 prepares to chop wood on the d file

Jun-10-19		HeMateMe: black needs to: 1) get a Rook on the d file 2) post his knight on c4 3) improve his King position and Ding can win this game.

Jun-10-19		AdolfoAugusto: Im really dissapointed. I was expecting a fight, not a dry and slow concession.

Jun-10-19		Keyser Soze: Hmmm. Carlsen is getting himself in trouble. He might even lose this one.

Jun-10-19		Nazim12: I dont lnow but whatever gymnastic do . computer final score shows Draw

Jun-10-19		Ulhumbrus: On the official site they have reached move 31.

Jun-10-19		Count Wedgemore: Carlsen has a lousy position with no winning chances. This is a draw or a win for Black. White has nothing in the position, except for a bishop that is marginally better than the knight in this position, perhaps. But that doesn't count for much given that White's queenside pawns are quite vulnerable. Ding has definitely some good winning chances here. And, as <BOSTER> noted, he has now connected the rooks. Always a good thing to do!

Jun-10-19		Nazim12: Why play stopped

Jun-10-19		Count Wedgemore: Seems like we've lost the connection for the time being.

Jun-10-19		Ulhumbrus: On the official site they have reached a rook and pawns ending after 36 fxe4

Jun-10-19		Sally Simpson: * Commercial break. There is a live Armageddon tounrmanet going on. https://worldchess.com/news/1408 Those taking part are: Vladimir Kramnik (Russia) Sergey Karjakin (Russia) Daniil Dubov (Russia) Teimur Rajabov (Azerbaijan) Ian Nepomniastchy (Russia) Boris Gelfand (Israel) Ernesto Inarkeiv (Russia) Wei Yi (China) Back to the game. (which may well end up going to Armageddon.) *

Jun-10-19		MissScarlett: Too many <i>s in that list.

Jun-10-19		Ulhumbrus: On the official site they have reached the time control at move 40

Jun-10-19		beenthere240: Will Magnus find Rxb4??? ;-)

Jun-10-19		Count Wedgemore: Well, now it's a dead draw. This game will ony last for a few more moves, tops. Once again Carlsen gets nothing out of the game when playing Ding Liren. China's no.1 player is turning out to be quite a troublesome opponent for the World Champion.

Jun-10-19		PawnSac: < DRAW AGREED >

Jun-10-19		beenthere240: Let's see how the armageddon plays out. Grischuk made a bold sacrifice in his game -- tossing away a bishop for nothing.

Jun-10-19		chancho: Ding Dong, Liren gone!

Jun-10-19		beenthere240: That was a remarkable game. Carlsen was in trouble until the very end when he broke through. The game was a bit like a boxing match where one pugilist is piling up the points until Round 9 when a one two from outta the blue puts him on the canvas. Sorry for the trite metaphor. Maybe it was like a tarantula pummeling a wasp until at the last moment the wasp gets her stinger in and the spider flops over paralyzed. Or maybe it was a succession of blunders demonstrating why Armageddon is entertaining if not especially edifying.

Jun-10-19		Steve.Patzer: It must have been a glitch, but after 54. Rb6+ Stockfish had Ding winning.
