I look at the spectacular Ruy Lopez game between Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren. Nepo came up with a very interesting new attacking concept, which was probably a leftover from their World Championship preparation. Ding, caught by surprise, didn't find a good antidote and was under pressure the entire game.
