I made that comment not long after move 40, when she had let a previously massive advantage slip a bit.
Played the actual ending very well yes.

Maurizzi leads after round 8, although 3 players are half a point back and another 3 a point off the leadNick Burrows wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 12:02 pmYour surprise winners will be Abdussattorov & Maurizzi
Gukesh, Giri and Firouzja lead the Masters with 4 players including Abdussattorov half a point back, and another 2 a point off the lead
Pretty close

Re: Tata Steel 12 - 28 Jan 2024
Ding's losing error today was something a moderately strong club player would wince at - maybe that's why he played on so long?

Re: Tata Steel 12 - 28 Jan 2024
I didn't think it was quite as easy as the evaluation seemed to indicate, but I guess that's why he's not (yet) quite at the same level as the 8 on 4.5 and above

Re: Tata Steel 12 - 28 Jan 2024
This is turning out to be a complete disaster for the WC. Have they actually impressed in a single game so far?

His win with black was impressive. His losses have all been to top players, Nepo, Pragg & Alireza. Nepo said today in his interview that Ding didn't look well so it may be that his health problems aren't behind him.Matt Mackenzie wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:11 pmThis is turning out to be a complete disaster for the WC.

Re: Tata Steel 12 - 28 Jan 2024
The win seemed a bit of a lucky dip to me, could have gone either way. And at least two of his losses have seen pretty glaring errors. If it is true he has been brought back before he is ready, that is obviously a shame but (as after 1972) a non-playing WC is always going to raise questions.

It's quite a tough tournament for Ding to play when he has not been in action much.

Re: Tata Steel 12 - 28 Jan 2024
It was a very impressive win. The overall result does matter as well. People may end up scrabbling around in the record books unless Ding can win his last three games (not impossible).
