You have GMs/superGMs struggling to find the mate that they know is there. Ding didn't have an eval bar or another player telling him 'there's a mate in 6 if you can find it' - he just found it in the middle of a WCC game. Crazy.

True, but they got mad time on that clock bro, and they're gms. Tbh imo I think it's unlikely that mating patterns such as these would go unnoticed by the best players.

@dimaaraslanov7793 Жыл бұрын

However, commentators are not focused on the game in the same way as the player playing at the board. And the information that there is a checkmate on the board in 6 moves does not give much. In such positions, GMs most often consider first of all the possibilities of the checkmate.

@@JSSTyger Yes, that's the genius of the D5 move. Ian only had one move to defend against the mating idea, but Ian played A2 and after that, there was already a forced mating net. Any move Ian made after that wouldn't have mattered. The thing is the D5 push is so innocuous, it's incredibly difficult for the opponent to recognize the immediate threat. The only way for Ian not to lose on the spot was to recognize the mating idea and defend that exact move as soon as D5 was played.

Good commentary can make a sporting event so much better, and this was a great example. Obviously I couldn't see it either. Probably almost no one watching could see it. It's one thing for an engine to know that there is a difficult checkmate. But the highest drama in chess is when one player in the world championship can see it and there is a real chance that his opponent cannot. If Anish and David could not see it even with the knowledge that a checkmate was there, then it is very possible that Nepo had not seen it either. Anish's commentary allowed the viewers to enjoy this amazing moment.

If Ian doesn't come back next game, will he end up being thought of as another Korchnoi -- multiple time runner-up in consecutive World Championship matches? Excellent, but not quite good enough?

These commentators should play poker-they made a great read on Ding-they knew he saw it even though they didn’t see it-and Anish is top ten in the world!

You make a good point. Reading the opponent's body language is a skill that's rarely talked about in chess books, but all the elite players do it. The very best players notice tiny details and are very intuitive. They get a "feel" of the game, not from just the position on the board, but also from the person they're playing. They are constantly taking information.

In a way, it's a blessing in disguise that Magnus quit. These two players have already giving us more attacking brilliancies that all the matches since Topalov-Kramnik combined. Beautiful chess.
