Guler shone bright across the 90 minutes on Sunday, opening the scoring courtesy of a brilliant left-footed strike, before laying on an equally brilliant assist for Kylian Mbappe.

Thanks to Sabopasha, now we know the secret of Guler! He masters his strategy on the field with chess!

Throwback: World Champion Magnus Carlsen is a long time Real Madrid fan.

]]> Anish Giri: “Carlsen makes the same mistake with Freestyle as he did with Classical” https://www.chessdom.com/anish-giri-carlsen-makes-the-same-mistake-with-freestyle-as-he-did-with-classical/ Tue, 22 Apr 2025 14:00:42 +0000 https://www.chessdom.com/?p=98721 Magnus Carlsen recently Grenke Freestyle Chess 2025 with 9,0/9 . The five-time classical World Champion is proving to be unstoppable at Freestyle (aka Chess960 or Fischer Random) too. After Carlsen’s Freestyle victory in Paris, now he managed to secure the Grenke Freestyle Chess 2025 title with a round to spare. (replay Carlsen’s games here). Anish Giri, however, is worried. He says, “Carlsen is making the same mistake in his new game as he made in chess. He is completing it too quickly.”

Anish Giri’s opinion differs from the one of the bodyguard of Hans Niemann , but sums up the overall sentiment of the chess fans. Giri, who signed with Esports club Team Secret, ahead of the Esports World Chess Cup 2025 is scheduled to play Sharjah Masters 2025 this month of May.

More from Giri on Freestyle: Classical, a lot of drawing. Freestyle, a lot of withdrawing

In an unexpected turn of events, when it seemed that the final game was going to end in a draw and the tiebreaks were unavoidable, the champion Ding Liren made a huge mistake. The final result of the match is 7.5-6.5 for the challenger.

Niki Riga captured the final moment of Gukesh at the board, with the tears of joy by Gukesh.

]]> Gukesh vs Ding Liren is the most precise World Championship https://www.chessdom.com/gukesh-vs-ding-liren-is-the-most-precise-world-championship/ Sun, 01 Dec 2024 06:28:42 +0000 https://www.chessdom.com/?p=97185 Dr. Mehmet Ismail, the man behind the Complete Performance Rating (CPR) idea has published massive Stockfish analysis of all World Chess Championship matches 1886 – 2024. It has concluded that the World Chess Championship 2024 – Gukesh vs Ding Liren is the most accurate so far and that the accuracy generally increases over the years.

  • Ding Liren vs Gukesh match is the most accurate one so far (least missed points)
  • Excluding the ongoing match, Anand is the most accurate player
  • Carlsen has the highest game intelligence score
  • Figure illustrates a trend of decreasing missed points (increasing accuracy) over time.
  • Initially, players averaged more than 1 missed points per game, meaning their mistakes added up to over one significant blunder per game. Over the years, average missed points have decreased significantly
  • Increasing accuracy over the years is consistent with prior accuracy analyses and top GM opinion.
  • However, this increase is not universal.
  • José Raúl Capablanca, who is known as a generally accurate player, remained the most accurate player until Anatoly Karpov.
  • Anand averaged 0.4 missed points per game. This is the highest accuracy in the dataset.
  • However, Magnus Carlsen stands out with the highest game intelligence score of 161, which suggests that Carlsen’s playing style, while not always following the top engine move, tends to elicit more mistakes from his opponents compared to other players.

Dr. Mehmet Ismail concludes, “For each year, I calculated “average missed points” per game per player as in the picture. A value of 1.00 or 0.50 missed points corresponds to making a game-losing blunder in a winning or drawn position, respectively. 0 missed points mean perfect play. Missed points measures the points a player misses in a game according to Stockfish (depth 20). Each miss is calculated using the win-draw-loss probability of the top engine move and the actual move.”
