Nepomniachtchi, I.. – Ding Liren

2792 2021 · White wins (resignation, time or agreement)

Ian Nepomniachtchi, the explosive Russian known for breathtaking combinations and relentless aggression, goes up against Ding Liren, China’s iron-willed defender nicknamed 'the Wall' for his unshakeable solidity. Played in 2021, this clash foreshadows their historic 2023 World Championship match — the first title fight between two challengers in decades. With the rock-solid Caro-Kann as its foundation, this game is a fascinating collision of two radically different chess philosophies.
