Featured is the sharp chess game between Gukesh D and Ding Liren from the 2023 Tata Steel Masters. The opening is a Queen's Indian Defense with 4...Ba6. Ding Liren's 16th move sparks a significant change of landscape, one where the bishop pair thrives. Gukesh resists for several moves in the middlegame, but Ding Liren and his dark-squared bishop in particular proves to be king of the board.
