Another dud from Ding Liren. The game never got interesting or out of balance.
He is trying, pushing, but somehow it is not happening. He will go into
half-time analysis on minus one, with two big missed chances. It was so
difficult for him to come to the tournament and when he arrived as rating
favorite, he seemed not hungry or eager to play at all.1.c4e52.g3Nf63.Bg2Bc54.d3O-O5.Nc3c66.Nf3d67.O-Oa58.d4exd49.Nxd4a410.Rb1Qa511.Nc2Bf512.Bd2Nbd713.Rc1Qa714.b3axb315.axb3Rfe816.Na4Be417.Bc3Bxg218.Kxg2d519.Nxc5Qxc520.Ne3dxc421.bxc4Qh522.h3Rad823.Qc2Ne424.Rcd1Nxc325.Qxc3Nf626.Qb2b527.g4Qc528.cxb5Qxb529.Qxb5cxb530.Rxd8Rxd831.Rb1Rb832.Rb4Ne833.Nd5f634.e4Kf735.f4Ke636.Kf3Kd637.Rb1Nc738.Nb4Ra839.e5+fxe540.Rd1+Ke741.Nc6+Ke642.fxe5Ra3+43.Ke4Ra4+44.Nd4+Ke745.Kd3Ne646.Nf5+Kf847.Rc1Nf4+48.Kd2Rc449.Rf1g550.h4Ne651.hxg5Rxg452.Nd6+Rf453.Rxf4+Nxf454.Nxb51/2-1/2 The game is a draw.1/2-1/2
