Transcripts
oh my gosh yeah oh my gosh goodness
me I actually thought there was a
transmission error when I saw the moves
of this game coming through never have
we seen anything like this in our
lifetimes Magnus Carlson was playing
with white he's the world number one but
ding Len with black is the world
champion because Magnus relinquished his
ital voluntarily this is Norway chess
round six Magnus opens up with Knight F3
the reti it's a classical time control
over the board and ding goes D5 in
response and the opening we get here
says a lot because Magnus fing ketto his
Bishop he gives ding the entire Center
still doesn't fight for it until now
with Pawn to C4 guessing that Ding will
go d before playing a line he's done
before because this is what Magnus has
got in mind he goes for this bonon porn
structure meaning son of my sorrow in
Hebrew and that is prophetic for this
game but will ding be the sorrowful one
or Magnus Carlson it's all to come I
love a joke normally but today there's a
somber mood this is a different kind of
gravy ding goes Bishop to D6 here Magnus
goes Knight B D2 looking to dominate E4
and the light squared complex in general
ding castles and now Knight G5
dominating that square now ding tucks
the bishop back why didn't he just put
it there on the very first move you
might ask well presumably if Magnus
played in a different manner then he
wouldn't Retreat the bishop but with
Magnus headed for E4 with a pony he gets
the bishop out of Dodge and Magnus now
gets super aggressive with with Pawn to
F4 it weakens E3 but this Knight can't
yet hop in take advantage it's covered
so Rook B8 played by ding very nice
Square coming off the long diagonal
looking for B5 here Magnus carries on
some steady development and now Queen C7
take care of the Knight before you push
the pawn Magnus how does he continue G4
for the score really setting out his int
mens early in this game B5 from ding
he's fighting on the other side very
natural Magnus goes B3 holding the for
there and ding plays in the most direct
manner taking the pawn opening the B
file for his Rook how would you
recapture here well don't go with the D
Pawn give your opponent a monster past D
Pawn strike thyself with a wooden stick
if you would do that you can go with the
Knight but then of course this Knight
gains access to D5 so Magnus takes he
wants to keep positional control and now
Rook B6 from ding lifting into the game
with aggressive intentions but also
defensive as we're going to see Magnus
fores forth with the Knight we get
captures Knight recaptures deing never
played H6 he could have done but he was
scared to give Magnus a hook and now the
computer does not like the next move it
wants f six which is a bit ugly but
basically keep the bishop on this
diagonal doing some defensive stuff but
Bishop B7 played looks really natural to
challenge the long diagonal but you do
challenge now or block rather a doubling
of the two towers on the B file as well
as leaving some defensive stuff what
does Magnus do he cranks up the heat
with Pawn to F5 ding captures Pawn takes
back and Knight to E5 making you of
magnus's last Pawn push and opening The
Rook to do some defensive duties Bishop
F4 from Magnus pin and win as they say
so Pawn F6 played securing the Knight on
E5 ding really going for this dark
Square defensive blockade and that is
very highlighted by the next couple
moves because Magnus brings the second
Cannon to the center the Silicon
Overlord likes Bishop B4 here doing a
little tickle on The Rook but ding plays
a move very committal setting out his
stall Bishop takes on e4 voluntarily
giving up his Bishop pet normally these
top guys love to hold on to them right
why is he doing this well this is his
followup point now the bishop finds a
nice home no Knight here to chop it off
ding wants the blockade so King H1 from
Magnus he didn't touch the pawn or else
Bishop C5 came and you're getting kabed
now Queen C5 covers that Central Pawn
and Bishop D G3 very nice chest from
Magnus always got to look at your
weakened pawns how can my opponent
attack them that's why ding goes Rook d8
now if Magnus carries on with Bishop to
F2 intensifying the pressure well this
one can move somewhere and then you save
the pawn so Queen E2 from Magnus he
opens up the line for the bishop Knight
D7 from ding why is he back pedaling
well it's a classic tactic if your
opponent's got the bishop pair then look
to trade one of them off they work very
powerfully together these old clergymen
but Magnus having none of it he drops
back there not so fast Mr Ding and now
Queen E5 looks really scary threatened
mate and if Magnus takes the Queens off
very nice you're getting a real good
blockade but it's not good because
Magnus can go Queen H5 he can also flick
in the check first but he gets the queen
out of the way defends the mate opens
The Rook so that's why ding goes Bishop
to E5 here setting up the blockade he
was looking for Magnus checks the king
side side steps and now Rook G1 the
preferred move of stockfish here but
Magnus goes Queen H5 bringing that Queen
Into the Danger Zone so ding slides all
the way back to cover his King somewhat
Magnus goes Rook E4 aggressive idea on
the horizon and now this is the moment
we honestly get the most shocking move
by a reigning world champion of this
entire Century maybe ever I don't know
this really is absolutely incredible to
me ding Len with 35 minutes on the clock
spends three minutes and plays the move
Rook to
B2 stockfish has this absolute Hur
it's now Checkmate in two moves this is
the most basic puzzle Rush even to lower
rated players right not a reigning world
champion Magnus
incredulous just takes the porn and ding
profit his hand after about two seconds
realizing what's going on if King
captures this is a Checkmate because the
pawn and the bishop cut in that King you
can see it on magnus's face he cannot
believe
it um and and it's like you feel
bad oh my gosh yeah oh my gosh oh
goodness
me what should he have played here well
instead of Rook B2 simply Pawn H6 okay
bit ugly on the light squares but it's
massively a game yes the pawn can drop
but then the Knight hits E5 it's still f
on dark squared against light squared
strategy game goes on from there it just
goes from bad to worse for Ding luren
and the opening was prophetic son of my
sorrow ding is in our thoughts right now
the sorrow of him at the chess board
right now and away from the chess board
it looks like please do let me know your
