And Ding won the play-off - both rapid games were drawn, Carlsen lost
the next blitz games 2-0.
The second win by DIng Liren was rather neat.
Carlsen (White) has just played 40.Bc5 threatening Qf8 mate.
Ding answered with 40...Ne7 and how do you stop Rh1 mate without
giving up the White Queen. Carlsen resigned.
