Ding Liren's Masterpiece - A Chinese King Hunt

GM Ding Liren is the new World Chess Champion, but still a bit of an enigma. In New In Chess magazine, the only international chess magazine in the world, his career has been chronicled ever since he burst into the chess world at age 16 by winning his national championship in China. Ding has annotated a dozen of his games for New In Chess. This new blog will share his best and most spectacular adventures.

The World Champion, as we have seen in his match versus GM Ian Nepomniachtchi,  is always willing to take risks and never shies away from complications. This first game is his masterpiece and a game he is very proud of himself. Enjoy the queen sacrifice, the king hunt, and the finish with a "double knight."
