| Mar-31-12 | | capablancakarpov: Ding Liren destroying an opponent again playing like Tal... this guy is special indeed. |
 |
| Mar-31-12 | | Fish55: Shanglei played a sharp, topical opening that he knows nothing about, based on his moves 10-13. I want to see Liren accomplish something against stronger opposition, and outside China, before getting too excited about him. |
|
| Mar-31-12 | | Penguincw: 24...Rxg6 25.Qxg6+ Kh8 26.Rf7, and black to get mated within 2 moves.

 | | whiteshark: <Fish55> and that coming from you! |
|
| Apr-01-12 | | Ladolcevita: Liren is just brilliant!
Indeed,the twice Chinese national champion really should play more international games at any rate... |
|
Apr-01-12
 | | messachess: Yes, he's really worth being a fan of. Yes, like Tal. |
|
Apr-01-12
| | messachess: He should get prestigious invites. If it's a matter of personal finances, then special monies should available somehow. |

 | | haydn20: What a beatdown after 10...c5. The side behind in devt. shouldn't get aggressive. Maybe 10...Kh8 gives Black a chance to catch up.
China usually supports its athletes & players so maybe there's a political or personal reason the govt. doesn't let him play in big games abroad. |
|

| | messachess: That would be too bad if it's political. Tragic actually. |
|
| Apr-03-12 | | Ladolcevita: Or maybe he is busy with his study,he is indeed about the age to prepare for the university entrance examination here. |

 | | tpstar: After 18. fxg5:
click for larger viewBlack is two pieces up but they are stuck on the Queenside and can't help defend the King. Note 18 ... Rf8 19. Qh6+ Kg8 20. g6 Rxf1+ 21. Rxf1 Qe7 22. Rf8+! Qxf8 23. Qh7#, but 18 ... Re7 was also inadequate. Brilliant double sacrifice on g6, and an early candidate for Best Game of 2012. |
|
| Apr-09-12 | | GITorquemada: Nice game. But when Tal makes a move to sac something you sort of wonder in amazement why. Here, black practically invited white to make that double sac at g6. |
|
| Apr-10-12 | | Oceanlake: If Black can't play 10. ...Nd7, I'd guess Black is already lost. |

 | | waustad: I suspect another pop culture reference that goes over my head. Does "ding" mean "thing" in some movie or TV show? |
|
| Apr-10-12 | | think: <waustad> It's from an episode of Seinfeld where a woman keeps going on about her fiance, and how she can't find her baby. Elaine says "maybe the dingo ate your baby" in an Australian accent. |
|
Apr-10-12
 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: <waustad>, <think>--The original quote comes from the movie "A Cry in the Dark," starring Meryl Streep, based on a true story of a child disappearance in Australia. After seeing that move, you can't get Streep's repeated insistence that "A dingo took my boy-bee" out of your head. |
|
| Apr-10-12 | | rilkefan: Black has done well in the past after 10...Nc6.
I once tried to understand why black doesn't take on c3 at move 8 using stockfish - if I remember correctly it's fine from a computer perspective, but not perhaps a natural line for a person. |
|
| Apr-10-12 | | rilkefan: Ok, it was actually <Shams> who in response to my question did the analysis I vaguely remembered - see S Halkias vs Morozevich, 2011. |
|
Apr-10-12
 | | Snehalshekatkar: I didn't understand Black's 8th move. Why that Bishop went back instead of eating the pawn? |
|
Apr-10-12
 | | HeMateMe: What is the pun based on? |
|
| Apr-10-12 | | Ladolcevita: <Snehalshekatkar>
Then Ba3 Rc1 Qa4 would be my subsequent play as white...anyway I remember it's all theory to withdraw the bishop. |

 | | Check It Out: <HMM> read the post above your head by <GSM> |

| | HeMateMe: I understand what happened, but it isn't really a pun. A pun is supposed to ape something in popular culture, or be a tricky play on words. Great attack, though. Ding ate'em up. |
