Game of the Week: Radjabov vs Ding

Game of the Week #382

In the past two weeks we had a good time with the third and fifth round of the World Cup and tonight we'll study the big final. It is no surprise that Ding Liren qualified for the final, but for Radjabov it represents a big comeback in his career. Yesterday Ding delivered the first heavy blow with an impressive strategical win. It felt like the match was decided, but today Radjabov managed to beat the rock-solid Marshall and tonight we'll study how he did that.

The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.

Warm-up question: What would you play here with White?
