Ding Liren vs Levon Aronian - 2013 Alekhine Memorial

The 2013 Alekhine Memorial chess tournament game between the young exceptional Chinese talent, Ding Liren, and Armenia's longtime #1, Levon Aronian, was an excellent example of positional chess. We can clearly observe in this game how a space disadvantage invariably influences the relative value of the pieces. I believe Ding's 28th move had been played with a significant amount of calculation behind it. Aronian's reply to it netted him the exchange, but a serious lack of space persisted. The finishing tactical sequence was both stunning and accurate right to the very end.
Opening: Semi-Slav Defense, Accelerated Meran variation

1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 a6 5. e3 e6 6. c5 Nbd7 7. b4 b6 8. Bb2 a5 9. a3 Be7 10. Bd3 O-O 11. O-O Ba6 12. Ne1 Bc4 13. Bxc4 dxc4 14. Qe2 Rb8 15. Ra2 b5 16. e4 Rb7 17. Nc2 Nb8 18.

I really liked this game, more than anything I think these positional games teach me the fundamentals of chess more clearly than the tactical ones. Perfect amount of analysis once again.

Jerry, if someone was to ask me about a good lesson on pawn structure and maneuvering, I think this video would be my answer. Such an amazing game and you did a terrific job in explaining every little thing that comes to mind. Something else that I found fascinating about this game is that even in the last 10 moves white has a winning position, it has only one correct move in nearly every one of those moves. All other options end up in a draw. So this would have to be played perfectly to convert into a win, for which white obviously saw the need to meet the time control to have enough time to think.

@ChessNetwork 9 жыл бұрын

My initial skim of the video had the game's end really catching my eye with that tactical shot. Looking more closely at the game as a whole and the pawn structure shifts, I do think there are certainly good lessons to be taken away from it. One miniature lesson contained in the game is the timing of the b6 move and how it will influence the resulting pawn structure as well as the timing of e4 as it relates to space and piece exchanges. I agree those last moves certainly required precise play to convert the full point.

Thing is: after the move 4.Nc3 and Black captures on c4 with the pawn and after white plays e3 WHAT IF black plays Be6 defending the pawn? What would be a good reply for that?

@cngzz1zyvov 9 жыл бұрын

Excellent video, very instructive. Actually for move 16, both Stockfish and Houdini recommended Nc2 instead of e4 (search time 45s), followed by Nd5, Nxd5, exd5, going into a draw. I chose e4 as well after pausing the video, but seems like the position is super complicated. After e4, Houdini and Stockfish recommended rook a1 which I don't really understand. Perhaps Nc2 is not so bad after all.

@7777Ralph 9 жыл бұрын

Can we discuss in detail the variation of the QG where black has a semi-slov, sets his bishop on b7 and takes the pawn on c4 please. This seems effective and easy to play for black, but I'm not sure if it's a legit opening or even has a name. For while, I thought it was the Catalan, but then when I looked up the Catalan, it didn't seem to have those moves.

Hi- about 35. Rxf1 maybe the following explanation :if 35. Kxf1, then 45. Qxh6 Qa1+ 46. Ke2 (instead of Kh2) Qb2+ 47. Kf3 Qc3+ 48. Kg4 Qxd4 49. Kg3 Qg7. What do you think ?

@7777Ralph 9 жыл бұрын

Move 16 was interesting because a price had to be paid for such an important move, but if one is not willing to pay that price, his pieces won't get any play. That cost being that of the backward pawn on d4, which looks a bit uncomfortable.
