Ding, Liren – Nepomniachtchi, Ian

2791 2020 · Black wins (resignation, time or agreement) · View this game on Lichess

A tantalising preview of the match of the century: Ding Liren and Ian Nepomniachtchi, who would meet for the World Championship title in 2023, are already trading blows here in 2020 in the Leningrad Dutch. 'Nepo', known for his creative and sometimes unpredictable style, loves to unbalance the position from the very first moves. Ding, meanwhile, excels at converting chaos into something concrete. A game well worth replaying with the benefit of hindsight.
