Jul-30-13		Marmot PFL: White plays some brave and creative moves before being ground down without mercy. He has a bright future ahead.

Jul-30-13		csmath: Basically anti-positional error with 11. b3 that forced Rapport to play "bridges burnt" type of attack. Ding's defence was typical, just simply avoiding howlers. Rapport could not find anything particularly challenging but 28. Nb6?! which looks like bad calculation, perhaps in attempt to get perpetual? Interesting enough Ding did not defend well at all after that. A lot of errors throughout the game and nothing whatsoever to consider exceptional. Just one free for all game with many poor calculations.

Jul-30-13		notyetagm: R Rapport vs Ding Liren, 2013 <Marmot PFL: ... before being ground down without mercy.> Chinese players don't believe in mercy. Look at the China-USA Chess Summit (2013) for proof of that. :-)

Jul-30-13		Nezhmetdinov: Is Ng3 being played in these positions now? It looks awful.

Jul-30-13		csmath: It is a topical line so yes, it is played many, many times. The really strange move here is clearly 11. b3?! This is the kind of move played in Reti or English but does not belong here given the fact that black pawn is already on b5. It would still make sense if white did not allow the closing of center with 15. Bh6? The reason why his wild attack was going on for so long was the fact that Ding Liren did not play very good defence either and allowed a lot of action to white. This is the game where neither of these two young players has exhibited anything particularly great at all but Rapport really burned the bridges completely. Honestly Ding's European tour has been a disappointment to me because I expected a lot more from him. I though he was better than Wang Hao but I changed my mind on that looking at these games. Rapport has a lot to learn still.

Jul-30-13		dumbgai: Not sure whether Rapport sacrificed an exchange in the opening or simply blundered. It sure doesn't look like he got enough compensation for the material.

Oct-23-13		harrylime: With all due respects white looks like some patzer Fischer devoured for fun in the late 50's lol

Oct-05-16		Dave12: i would try 18.Qd1 instead of Qc1 build on breaking through the h file. say Ndf6 Bg5 Nxg5 hxg5 and the file is wide open.
