Ding Liren destroys Lu Shanglei’s kingside in 24 moves

Featured is a Round 5 game from the 2012 Chinese Chess Championship between Ding Liren and Lu Shanglei. The opening is a Queen’s Gambit Declined, Three Knights, Vienna variation. Ding Liren’s 5th move shows his willingness for gambit play. Lu Shanglei takes him up on this offer, and attempts to defend his kingside that is without a key defender. Ding Liren’s attack is relentless, sacrificing multiple pieces in order to destroy the entire black kingside structure. Ding Liren’s remaining white major pieces and an integral 6th rank pawn secured him a brilliant attack.

    Really shows that grandmasters today may have a preferred style, but will absolutely play in any style the position calls for. Usually Ding plays very solid, but in this one he went full Mikhail Tal.

    He definitely played a sacrificial attacking game but I think classic Tal is characterized by kinda unsound sacrifices that lead to insurmountably complex positions.

    Top notch stuff as always! I like the detail on King knight for queen's knight. Also Aron Nimzo put it in a simply beauitful way: "Exchanging the tempo consuming knight for the newly developed knight represents another loss of tempo, because as the Black knight disappears, so do all the tempi it has consumed to get there, i.e no trace of them remains on the board." That in addition to like you mentioned, the amount of tempi the queens knight needs to get involved. it's this strategic understanding that gives birth to tactical audacity and imagination

    Of all the chess content on youtube, this channel has the best analysis. For example if anyone else covered this game I doubt they’d explore the relevance of the king knight/queen knight trade; they might mention that the black king lacks defenders (if your lucky) but they won’t explain how that came to be with as much depth as you. Nobody else explains positional chess as well as you do!

    Thanks for this video. I faced 4...dxc4 yesterday and, though I recognized it should be an inaccurate move, wasn't super comfortable with the pawn sacrifice. The attacking ideas here are very helpful. One small correction at 13:16. Though Rf3 spoils the win, Rf6 is winning and even the top engine move.

    I think Lu Shanglei did pretty well seeing as he played without his queen side pieces, fair play to him giving the up-and-coming Ding Liren a chance 😁 If I ever get to play Ding I'll be doing the same, whether I like it or not.
