1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. f1b5  3... a7a6  4. b5a4  4... g8f6  5. e1g1  5... f8e7  6. d2d3  6... b7b5  7. a4b3  7... d7d6  8. a2a4  8... c8d7  9. h2h3  9... e8g8  10. c1e3  10... c6a5  11. b3a2  11... b5a4  12. b1c3 Deviating from 12.Bd2, played in the second rapid game. 12... a8b8  13. a2b1 [%c_effect b1;square;b1;type;Interesting;persistent;true] A weird move, with the simple idea of attacking the a4-pawn. This has been played before by strong GMs. 13... d8e8 A new move. 14. b2b3 [%c_effect b3;square;b3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 14... c7c5  15. c3a4  15... a5c6  16. a4c3 [%c_effect c3;square;c3;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 16... a6a5  17. f3d2  17... d7e6  18. d2c4  18... d6d5 [%c_effect d5;square;d5;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 19. e4d5  19... f6d5  20. e3d2 [%c_effect d2;square;d2;type;Mistake;persistent;true] 20... d5c3 [%c_effect c3;square;c3;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 21. d2c3  21... e6c4  22. b3c4  22... e7d8  23. c3d2  23... d8c7  24. c2c3  24... f7f5 The position is more pleasant for Black, especially in a rapid game. 25. f1e1  25... b8d8  26. a1a2  26... e8g6  27. d1e2  27... g6d6  28. g2g3  28... d8e8  29. e2f3 [%c_effect f3;square;f3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Nepomniachtchi manages to hold everything. 29... e5e4 [%c_effect e4;square;e4;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] A bold decision, although I think the move should have been played before. 30. d3e4  30... c6e5  31. f3g2 [%c_effect g2;square;g2;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 31... e5d3  32. b1d3  32... d6d3  33. e4f5  33... e8e1  34. d2e1  34... d3c4  35. a2a1 [%c_effect a1;square;a1;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 35... f8f5  36. e1d2  36... h7h6  37. g2c6  37... f5f7  38. a1e1 The a-pawn is always dangerous, but it's well controlled, and the game is equal. 38... g8h7  39. d2e3  39... c7e5  40. c6e8  40... e5c3 A mark of Ding's play is that he is never afraid of calculating variations. I suppose most players would not bother capturing this pawn. 41. e1c1  41... f7f6 [%c_effect f6;square;f6;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The only move to justify the capture on c3. White cannot exploit the pin due to tactical reasons. 42. e8d7 [%c_effect d7;square;d7;type;Interesting;persistent;true] An interesting practical try. 42... c4e2 [%c_effect e2;square;e2;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The only move. 43. d7d5  43... c3b4  44. d5e4  44... h7g8  45. e4d5  45... g8h7  46. d5e4  46... f6g6 [%c_effect g6;square;g6;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] This may be the decision that gave Ding the title. Nobody expected him to play for a win in this position, and this probably also took Nepomniachtchi by surprise. 47. e4f5 [%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] White is in danger now, as this allows Black to advance the c-pawn. 47... c5c4 [%c_effect c4;square;c4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 48. h3h4 [%c_effect h4;square;h4;type;Mistake;persistent;true] 48... e2d3 [%c_effect d3;square;d3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 49. f5f3  49... g6f6  50. f3g4  50... c4c3  51. c1d1  51... d3g6  52. g4c8  52... f6c6  53. c8a8
