Ding Liren, one of the most complete players of his generation and reigning World Champion (since 2023), is known for his universal style and nerves of steel in the endgame. In 2021, he takes on Magnus Carlsen in a Catalan — the quintessential White opening for grinding out a small, lasting edge — which is precisely the kind of battlefield where both these elite strategists thrive.
