game 10 was a highly accurate draw, Ding only has 4 games left to equalize. Nepo leads 5.5 - 4.5 ♟️

in game 10 there was less than 1 inaccurate move between them both, elite chess ends in draws so often because there’s little to no opportunity to press for a win

game 11 isn’t technically over yet but it’s going to be a draw (these guys can play rook + pawn endgames in their sleep), today’s position liquidated quickly via extremely well paved opening theory. Nepo will lead 6 - 5, Ding only has 2 games with the white pieces left ♟️

tfw no Kut-Kwick Power Hurricane 😔

white to move, mate in 3 🧐

someone got this overnight. the trick was finding the not at all obvious rook to a2, the forced (for black) sequence goes:

Ra2 bxa2, Bxa2 Kxg6, Bb1#
