| Scarecrow: <Teyss> I like your option <(d)>, although I have to admit I can easily see it leading to the same practical result you named as a drawback for <(c)>, i.e. cautious/dull play by both from the start. |

Dec-12-24 Ding Liren vs D Gukesh, 2024
| |
| Scarecrow: The saddest thing is that Ding did this to himself. Fair play to Gukesh, he did have more chances throughout the match, but at the same time, I did not think he demonstrated superiority. Then came today. |

Dec-09-24 Leko vs Karpov, 2001
| |
| Scarecrow: In the live commentary of Game 12 of the Ding - Gukesh World Championship Match (2024) , Peter Leko recounted that during this game, Karpov got into terrible time trouble and had to make something like 7 moves in 7 seconds to save this draw. |

Dec-09-24 Ding Liren vs D Gukesh, 2024

|
Dec-03-24 D Gukesh vs Ding Liren, 2024
| |
| Scarecrow: I was prepared to witness a Ding meltdown like others in the previous match or his loss on time in Game 3 here, but he kept his composure and never gave up. Must be heartbreaking for Gukesh though, to miss out on such a chance. Once again we can probably mention the detrimental ... |

Nov-30-24 D Gukesh vs Ding Liren, 2024
| |
| Scarecrow: <FSR: Having no increment for the first 40 moves is weird.> I don't know what FIDE's justification is for using that kind of time control, but I suspect the aim is to create tension by increasing the risk of time trouble. Some kind of appeal to online appetites for drama. I ... |

Nov-27-24 D Gukesh vs Ding Liren, 2024
| |
| Scarecrow: It's been a long, long time since I actively followed chess games live here on <chessgames.com>. I am happy that the site maintained its spirit while other chess portals have, in my opinion, decidedly went down the path of ens***fication, to use a popular term. It's very ... |

Apr-13-23 Nepomniachtchi - Ding World Championship Match (2023)
| |
| Scarecrow: <jphamlore: Fischer was the last player who could afford to have an ideology about how to play chess and still win a world championship.> That's a fascinating observation. Could you elaborate a bit on what you believe Fischer's ideology was? |
