„He sees it. This is the remarkable part, he sees something pretty…what is the finishing touch?” GM Anish Giri asked himself during the live commentary of today’s game. Two strong grandmasters with an engine on their hand couldn’t figure out Ding Liren’s plan during the 6th game of the world championship 2023. With the white pieces, Ding played 41. d5 (first image), foreseeing a beautiful finish he concluded three moves later, forcing GM Ian Nepomniachtchi to resign. Can you calculate the winning sequence and the essential role of the pawn on d5 (second image), Ding carefully placed there already three moves ahead?
