Has anyone been keeping an eye on Ian vs Ding? This is one of the most entertaining WCC in recent memory. I have been watching intently most nights.

Yes, it's interesting cause Magnus isn't there to stomp his opponent haha

 

[Schulzenfest]

Hard to get interested when we all know they're playing for the title of second best player in the world.

Very true.

Despite that; so many decisive games has been interesting at least

They've been great games!

 

[mattis117]

Oof game 12 is spicy

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Crazy game. Ding is soo close yet so far lol.

 

[Chipmunk]

Brilliant!

 

[mattis117]

Think the whole world minus Russia and Belarus are backing Ding here.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

I sure am. Was disappointed for him after game 7 and wanted to see him turn the match around, it seems he can here. So fortunate though.

 

[mattis117]

Looked like Ian was about to win and he threw it

 

[thewizardmelon]

Classic Ding, just like the Candidates. Slow start, barnstorming home at the end. Ian unlucky but good win for Ding! I feel tiebreaks coming on

 

[RalfM]

I think the eval bar showing Nepo as an almost clear win was a bit misleading, with the engine's plan being pretty obscure for humans, even players like Nepo. But Nepo's, and Ding's, fast play there for a bit leading to those (x) moves was crazy to watch! (And made me feel better about my play )

As someone who regularly evals and realises I lost a position from +2, +3 etc, while it’s definitely a big gap at that level, this match has proved a computer win is never that easy to spot as a human.

yes, they showed that when Ian was +2.5 or something that it was only because of a single computer line that you had to see +10 moves in advance where a pawn got through to queening, in every other the way the position was even, but the eval bar shows +2.5 because of that one line.

Exactly. It’s why analysing games with computer eval is certainly sometimes flawed. I prefer to analyse with opponent/other humans like 90% of the time.

 

[thewizardmelon]

I called it - tiebreaks here we come! Ding to win 2.5-1.5

What a great start! Intense.
