Toss up... Gukesh seems to be pushing too far and allowing Ding to counter but then Ding played the horrible Rh5 allowing his bishop to get trapped... so, mistakes by both players. I don't like how Ding gets so rattled when he makes mistakes and that could cause him to collapse like everyone is predicting. I'll make my prediction after game 4 which is starting soon. 4am eastern time is brutal. |

Well... |
||
|
Puzzling... From what I've seen, Ding Liren has not been looking 'comme il faut' in this whole match. He's spending lots of time, but one forms the impression that it's not all time well spent. At any rate, with less than a minute a move remaining, Ding tried to pick up the pace, and slipped up at once. Pity - but that's match play, I guess... |

When I saw... So I had a look. Once again, Ding Liren made an elementary blunder in a drawn position, but with time becoming a problem. One does wonder if something is not quite right with Ding Liren. He outplayed Gukesh brilliantly in Game 12 to square the match, after Game 11's blunder. But time has been his enemy - or he has been the enemy of time. That takes its toll. |

Of good and bad, that makes and unfolds error. |
||
|
... But due to Ding Liren's stapid mistuke. |

It reminds me of exam nerves and quick chess times, I’ve had bad experiences of both. The clock is running down and it looks like you’re thinking, but your mind has gone blank and so you play a move because you have to. A bad one. |

Yeah... The odd thing is, I try the Blitz attack 'misses' afterwards, and usually solve them quickly. My record is one second. Could have used that in the session itself! |

Good job guys.... I read what I read in Chess Life Magazine that I get every month,but then,I do not look at that magazine sometimes for months.No matter who is on top....that will change again no doubt in a year or two.With others chipping away at the mountain top....sooner or later the apex of the mountain will begin to fall down again and will be replaced by another mountain climber. Last,I kept up with Ian,Hikaru and Magnus(partly),but being from the Fischer era and before the massive databases and opening book theory they have in todays world which help the GM's out much more than decades ago,I simply have lost the serious interest in the new world champion GM's today.No doubt in my mind that players like Magnus would defeat Bobby Fischer IF Bobby was young,alive and kicking but suddenly arose from the dead and without looking at all the new chess theory and opening databases.Just my opinion,however.You know,when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the Manhattan Chess Club in NYC and I personally met Robert Fischer.I was just learning chess and was amazed at the crowd around him and some fast blitz he was playing with the members.Memories,indeed. Keep up the reports guys.I come back to the forums from time to time to make note of what you guys are chatting about. |
