After some of the most exciting world title games in recent
history we finally have a new Chess World Champion, Ding Liren.
And thank you Ding. I won £10.50 for a £5.00 stake.
Here are the tie breaks games from the Chess World Championship.
It starts with a four-game match with 25 minutes + 10 sec increment.
Ding Liren - Ian Nepomniachtchi, Tie Break Game 1 (a draw but a good game.)
1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 d5 3. c3 c5 4. dxc5 e6 5. Be3 Be7 6. g3 Nc6 7. Bg2 O-O 8. b4 Ng4 9. Bd4 Qc7 10. O-O e5 11. h3 exd4 12. hxg4 dxc3 13. Nxc3 Nxb4 14. a3 Bf6 15. Rc1 Bxc3 16. Rxc3 Nc6 17. Qxd5 Bxg4 18. Ng5 h6 19. Ne4 Rae8 20. e3 Re5 21. Qd2 Rd8 22. Nd6 Rh5 23. Rb1 Ne5 24. e4 b6 25. cxb6 axb6 26. Nb5 Rxd2 27. Nxc7 Bh3 28. Bxh3 Rxh3 29. Kg2 Rh5 30. Rb5 Rd1 31. Nd5 Rdh1 32. Ne7+ Kh7 33. Rxe5 R1h2+ 34. Kg1 Rh1+ 35. Kg2
In that game Nepo left his Queen hanging but it could not be taken.
26. Rxc7 Nf3+ {(26.Bxf3 Bxf3 mate with Rh1)} 27. Kf1 Nxd2+ 28. Ke1 Nxb1 0-1
I found an RHP game where we see this idea. Queen sac and mate on h1.

Black played 18.Qxh2 + the came to Rh6+ and then Rh1 was checkmate.

That game featured a two Rook and Knight ending. An RHP game with the same pieces.

White played 20. Rhe1 OOPS!
Ding Liren - Ian Nepomniachtchi, Tie Break Game 3 (A draw, the tamest game so far)

Ke2
No RHP example for that game.
Ian Nepomniachtchi - Ding Liren, Tie Break Game 4
Ding had the upper hand and I liked his position. However he seemed to rush
his attack (I know the feeling) and Nepo beat it away.Then Nepo and everyone
else thought we were going to see a three fold and onto the blitz games but Ding
played 46...Rg6 and suddenly Ding’s passed pawns looked threatening. Nepo tried
a barrel loads of tricks but to no avail. Dings held his nerve and won the game.
Ding with a minute left has just played 46....Rf6-g6, It looked crazy due to h4 and h5.
