Ding Liren's beautiful Carlsbad victory vs Inarkiev

Описание: Featured is the beautiful chess game between Ding Liren and Ernesto Inarkiev from the 2015 World Cup. In response to Inarkiev declining the Queen's Gambit, Ding exchanges on d5 and continues with the Positional variation, Bg5. After 6 moves the popular Carlsbad structure surfaces. Ding chooses the central expansion plan with f3/e4 and soon obtains an ideal pawn center that Inarkiev pressures. Inarkiev's position begins to slip after a queen retreat, allowing Ding to assume a strong queen post on c3 where she facilitates a bishop reposition. Ding's winning tactical sequence with his minor pieces, as his majors form a battery on the h-file, is really a thing of beauty.
