Meanwhile these nigh omnipotent gods play in the slightest advantage in move variation almost based on pure obscurity to throw there opponent off. Love it

      It's funny, the purpose of a chess engine is to evaluate how good a position is, but for humans, sometimes a better position is worse. The reason is the computer has no idea how easy or hard the multi-move ideas are to find. They're all equal for a computer. If two players have the same mindset, they both ignore the same lines when evaluating, carving a weird 'desire path' in the analysis. Makes the whole thing a lot more fun.

    NGL, this is way more exciting than Magnus' last few defenses. Magnus is so solid and happy to squeeze rock that you end up with a ton of draws. Magnus would have taken game 2 and coasted his way through the rest of the match, and rightfully so. Ian doing Ian things and Ding introducing novelties and unique ideas means that every single match could be a banger.

    Ding Liren is an amazing player and he deserved to win. But he's so shy and nervous in interviews. If you looked on live he was sweating more in the interview than in the game.

    I think more impressive than Nepo’s “two-minute blunder”, was Ding’s 1:14min rook sacrifice find. He had 30mins to find the best move but he found that almost immediately and didn’t hesitate.
