Ding is in trouble against MVL. Could lose 2 games in a row!

Slight advantage against Caruana for Ding today. He needs the win

Caruana has just gone for a complicated line that hands Ding a clear advantage if he plays it well. Exciting!
― strangely hookworm but they manage ream shoegaze poetry (imago), Thursday, 19 March 2020 11:18 (four years ago) link
Not ideal for Caruana to have to move the king to F2 in the first 10 moves!
― cajunsunday, Thursday, 19 March 2020 11:41 (four years ago) link
Oh wait. Ding is playing white. I'm confused.
― cajunsunday, Thursday, 19 March 2020 12:03 (four years ago) link
Ding now clearly winning!! Defended Caruana's preparation like a beast
― strangely hookworm but they manage ream shoegaze poetry (imago), Thursday, 19 March 2020 13:26 (four years ago) link
Pretty much over now. Caruana's a Bishop down with no counter-play.

bit disrespectful spinning it out that long tbh

Nepo leading the tournament. Would be a good challenger for Carlsen; he wouldn't win of course but there might be some fun games
― strangely hookworm but they manage ream shoegaze poetry (imago), Sunday, 22 March 2020 18:32 (four years ago) link
I think Nepo has a pretty good record against Carlsen so it could be interesting. I still think Caruana will come through in the end - he's got experience winning the big tournaments.

6th round, Nepo in a winning position against Ding

Magnus tasted what it was like to have the world's eyes on chess, and liked what he saw

As a non-expert, I'm curious how they're going to prevent cheating in an online tournament like this. Wouldn't it be extremely easy for someone to use a computer to suggest moves? Or would that be easy to detect?
― o. nate, Friday, 3 April 2020 16:13 (four years ago) link
they will probably have to reveal everything in their room and share screens etc. odd behaviour can be easily detected by ppl who play a *lot* i think?
also there's the matter of pride and reputation, these people don't want even a cloud of suspicion over them.
also, if someone went through a tournament playing computer first and second choice moves with the occasional suboptimal that maintains advantage then idk there'd be questions

Candidates is on again and Fabi has already sacked 3 pawns and a piece

Ok they have the same number of pieces now at least. Must have been an inbetween move!

anyone watching the World Championship match at the moment? Looks like Carlsen is edging it
