Yeah, this was really easy to follow as someone who doesn't know anything about anything. Also about the game itself, love that there were no real mistakes, just outplaying from start to finish.
The last 5 minutes of this was easily some of the best content from Ben. I'm in tears. "This is a World Championship match, this isn't a simul between a beginner. These variations can't happened."
@@AndrejAbabovic this reminds me when back in St. Louis he showed some prodigy's game against Abrahamyan and was like "oof, this is double, triple, quadruple checkmate… if you're under 18, close your eyes, this is, uhh, this is not for children!"
I hope Ding will win, when he is focusing and plays his best chess he's worthy of his title And even if Gukesh loses, India will have a lot of young super strong GMs that are going to have a pretty high ranking for a while
@15:56 in the press conference Ding said he didn’t see knight a7. Maybe because he wasn’t concerned about the confined rook, but regardless he said he didn’t even consider it.
Daaamn, Ding really made Gukesh look like an amateur here. I find it super weird that Gukesh obviously prepared that opening but didn't realize that his position may be theoretically and numerically equal, but White really has the much easier game. And I just love how Ding just made these tiny improvements and waited until Gukesh lost patience. Great game, and great recap too :D
Whatever happens in the end, Ding Liren is officially a legend, this game brought repressed memory of him grilling Nepo 4 times from a 'behind in the match' position. In equally spectacular positional squeeze masterclass with tactical finish.
Does does remind anyone who has watched the game of Capablanca?...Ding played just like Capa would have...a brilliant positional masterpiece where until the end was devoid of tactics just piece maneuvering and building the position and getting your pieces into their best squares and denying the opponent any good piece squares/mobility and then striking with the decisive blow.
Ding was saving this for if his back was against the wall... wonder if he has another one lined up... And I also wonder if Gukesh has another ultra weird opening that gives a fighting position.
Go Ding! As in, get out of the WC hall of fame. Kasparov has said this isn't even a real world championship before it began since Magnus is not competing. Kramnik has cried on his Twitter that the game 11 blunder was unlike ANY WC blunder he has ever seen (to which Giri replied about a blunder in a Steinitz WC match). OK, I feel bad now, because Ding seems like a good guy. At least Gukesh seems rather humble as well. Hopefully, Ding gets his old rank back if he cares to do so. He had some very nice opening prep for this match and, in some cases, calculated very well. I think the old Ding would have won with 2 or 3 decisive games.
What an amazing game. One thought I have (pretty good for me to have one) was that Nc6 in the opening turned out to be kind of bad. I always prefer to strike out with the c pawn, especially as black, and in this game the c pawn and knight on c6 were kind of a problem the entire game. After Kh2 it was so hard to find a move, really a curious game here.
I was hoping for a kings side attack like how Morphy did back in the days, we don't find many players taking advantage of completely winning positions like he did. Though people act like his moves were elementary, if so then why are they hard to find in such positions?
Pressure getting to the teenager. The WC is in his grasp and he only needs three draws! Play for a draw and you'll lose though. I don't want to say that Gukesh is too young to have learned this lesson, but this was a game where Ding's experience in a scrap told. Gukesh seems to have regressed to technique from younger days. The problem with black's play right from the start is that it lacks a clear plan. Black's pieces may be on good squares, but without a plan those good squares become redundant squares, then bad squares. I've never liked the kind of classical development plan that black used because of this. Positional masterpiece by Ding. Always thought that was his best strength.
5 minutes? Doesn't take a chess GM to figure out the oddity in this video title. Alright, I'll watch the first 5 minutes, apparently that's all that matters.
This was an excellent Game 11(Cut)..I mean Game 12. Finally an exciting and aggressive game. You can be accurate and aggressive, or you can tank like Gukesh when he doesnt know 75 lines of theory! India is going downhill quick baby! Chinese Communist Party making an amazing comeback!!
Nice recap. But aren't you annoyed that all your fields, white resp. black, are exact copies? It feels like a plastic board?! I had this in my CB programs. I did complain at Chessbase. 'What's the problem?' (Well, when I buy a white car I don't weant a red one, even when it is technically the same. Looks matter.) It took a while, before in the newest update they finally provided 'random' looking bitmaps (but not yet for all programs..).
Why tho, just why. Gukesh is playing agresively for a draw, so he plays a variation where he can't trade anything, can't move, is forced to wait for a full force attack and just gets smoked, are you serious. Plus now we're going to have boring games the last two games. Oh well, looking forward to the rapid games.
The d4 line in the Neo-Catalan IS an aggressive line. The problem was that the follow-up play wasn't equally aggressive. I think whoever put together Gukesh's prep had this in the bag to play for a draw, but Gukesh took it too literally, expecting one of the two outcomes Ben explained. If a choice like that is really a choice, then there has to be a penalty for not choosing. If white is gonna wait on d4 to improve his position, black has to work to make d4 impossible. Pile up on the d-file, play Nd4, c5, that sort of thing. Instead Gukesh played passively.

Gukesh won beautyfool game yesterday with Benoni now he could Still play this but he enter in Catalan opening against 2 best catalan player in the World he was just overconfident you are not Fisher so you can beat Taimanov in Taimanov sicilian😂😂😂😂

Fun fact.... He is ben.
@@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd Just one question... what?
Great recap, you made it into a really captivating narrative with the D4 push as a theme. Thanks Ben!
Yeah, this was really easy to follow as someone who doesn't know anything about anything.
Also about the game itself, love that there were no real mistakes, just outplaying from start to finish.
I thought his first name is Grandmaster, and Ben is his middle name 😄
The last 5 minutes of this was easily some of the best content from Ben. I'm in tears.
"This is a World Championship match, this isn't a simul between a beginner. These variations can't happened."

They are not allowed!
Yup!
ahhh, that's why it's called 5 minutes with Ben XD
my guy is back to give an absolute beatdown. Ding just needed a bit of motivation so he had to lose yesterday to get himself psyched up.
Thanks!
"CUT" Love Ben's dry sense of humor!!
"If I was black, it wouldn't be good" - Ben
23 minutes and 34 seconds with GM Ben Finegold is my fav show on the youtube
This is a World Championship match, this isn't a simul between a beginner. These variations can't happen.
Amazing
I was so Reti for this one!
Nobody makes as easily digestable recaps of the highest level chess then Grandmaster Ben Finegold. Go Ben!
How did Ben know I'd have it on 2x speed and be done in 12 min and 40 sec?!
It's really amazing how you fit such a complex game with a detailed GM-level analysis into a 5 minute video
Watch GM Finegold analysis always worth it. Already saw other 5 videos about round 12 and none of them show the Re5 line
Love the way you explain things, thank you!!
This was a great game and great recap!
Ben I love you this are not 5 minutes you are lying to me.The truth hurts.
The set of, "5 minutes with Ben", is contained within the set of, "23 minutes with Ben".
The truth soothes! More Ben!
@@philipsaoud244 I love your set theory comprehension are you math passionate?
I'm so happy, thank you for this!
That's a lot of content for just 5 minutes ... and well worth the watch ...
Heating up! Great recap as usual Ben
never play f6!
Well we know who lost the game now
I like the way you really explain the ideas and don't just spew out endless computer variations.
Ben's recaps are the best. Got team Ben
Thanks Ben. I’d to hear your pick for the playoff. Have a great trip to Michigan
Great job Ben. Enjoyed it very much.
I hope Ding will win, when he is focusing and plays his best chess he's worthy of his title
And even if Gukesh loses, India will have a lot of young super strong GMs that are going to have a pretty high ranking for a while
Amazing recap, Ben is the best. I literally laughed at loud when he said, "Then we throw in Bd6+ because we're masochists."
@15:56 in the press conference Ding said he didn’t see knight a7. Maybe because he wasn’t concerned about the confined rook, but regardless he said he didn’t even consider it.
He didn't need to look at that line, I think that's what he meant.
Yeah, that rook is almost completely irrelevant to the position.
Great game and great recap!
Daaamn, Ding really made Gukesh look like an amateur here. I find it super weird that Gukesh obviously prepared that opening but didn't realize that his position may be theoretically and numerically equal, but White really has the much easier game.

best recap ive seen of this game :D
Whatever happens in the end, Ding Liren is officially a legend, this game brought repressed memory of him grilling Nepo 4 times from a 'behind in the match' position. In equally spectacular positional squeeze masterclass with tactical finish.
another great recap!
NEVER PLAY F6
Brutal game! Gukesh getting blown off the board like a beginner. Outclassed!!
Finally Ding woke up! A slow yet unstoppable gain of momentum with a loud crash in black's camp. Thanks for the recap, Ben!
Does does remind anyone who has watched the game of Capablanca?...Ding played just like Capa would have...a brilliant positional masterpiece where until the end was devoid of tactics just piece maneuvering and building the position and getting your pieces into their best squares and denying the opponent any good piece squares/mobility and then striking with the decisive blow.
5 minutes of Ben explaining why Black played Rb8 without me anderstanding any of it... go Ben!
Rawr!
What an incredible game
Oh my god. This already becomes a meme))) Good job Ben. Thank you for the recap.
Ben, please don't die!!
Stay there
This was good
Ding was saving this for if his back was against the wall... wonder if he has another one lined up... And I also wonder if Gukesh has another ultra weird opening that gives a fighting position.

Ding returned from the dead in this series.
@21:08 “Probably resigns is better”
My wife was annoyed at how loudly I laughed at that
I love how you say "cut!" and the editor just ignores you.
Wow Ding really just gave Gukesh the smackdown
Ding: "Game 12 speaks for itself"
I wonder if Ding being written off by everyone before the match took some pressure off and let him relax a bit. He’s really risen to the occasion.
I had watch some analysis, but i still don't get which moves that started to make the black whole position to be so bad at the end.
This game was accually good and interesting.
Hi Ben!!
At the end of that game Gukesh knew what it’s like when God has a gun.
That last line is what I would have done. Treat it like a simo match.
23:34 it must be chanukah
Nice cut! Also, fries.
I was hoping for a kings side attack like how Morphy did back in the days, we don't find many players taking advantage of completely winning positions like he did. Though people act like his moves were elementary, if so then why are they hard to find in such positions?

Positional masterpiece by Ding. Always thought that was his best strength.
Bens disgust in blacks position cracked me up
Dear Ben, I believe this Ding-Gukesh matchup knocked you out, which is why you stopped at round 12.
I watch only the last 5 minutes of 5 minutes with Ben that is 23 minutes long.
What a massacre!
Where 5 minutes!?
The commutators fought that black was better 😅 then Ding The Ring showed them the way of the Dragon 🐉 😅
Ding chose the English because it's EXPLOSIVE.
Ding Liren will win the whole thing, I want to believe
You can't play for a draw, you end up being too cautious
Well Gukesh played f6 so theres that
To be fair, he also sacrificed the exchange with Nb8
5 minutes? Doesn't take a chess GM to figure out the oddity in this video title. Alright, I'll watch the first 5 minutes, apparently that's all that matters.
Ben now lasts longer than five minutes.
Black's queen does not have any good squares to choose from throughout the game 😮
❤
5 minutes !!!!!
PLAYOFFS!!?!?!?!?!? PLAYOFFS?!?!?!?!
potentially
No one makes obvious mistake and they calmly improve their positions. Looks like a GM game.
Day 3 of telling ben he does not know how long 5min last
All these extra minutes are getting out of hand
This was an excellent Game 11(Cut)..I mean Game 12. Finally an exciting and aggressive game. You can be accurate and aggressive, or you can tank like Gukesh when he doesnt know 75 lines of theory! India is going downhill quick baby! Chinese Communist Party making an amazing comeback!!
Never play

ugly chess for a WC
Tricks are for kids - so Indian guy doesn't like slow strategic chess? Colle system next?
23 minutes with Ben!
Rawr!
