by ChessBase
12/19/2024 – The World Championship match between Ding Liren and Gukesh in Singapore ended with a blunder: In a drawn position, Ding wanted to simplify and allowed his opponent to liquidate into a winning pawn ending - making Gukesh the youngest World Champion ever. In the latest episode of "Two Knights Talk", Arne Kähler and Johannes Fischer use Ding's mistake as a starting point to talk about incredible blunders, errors and inexplicable oversights in the history of the World Chess Championship.
