The Media that I chose to show this great Blitz game of GM Ding Liren is irrelevant, what do you want me to do to show it on your TV?, well you can stream it to your Super large Smart TV if you want but GM Ding Liren simply outplayed GM Carlsen and also on this AMAZING Rapid game

PS: As a matter of fact I strongly believe that GM Ding Liren will be GM Carlsen Challenger to the title and ranked 2nd on FIDE at the Moment :shock:

OK, that's true. So maybe embed the pgn and provide the link? Kinda like walking and chewing gum at the same time---it really is possible.

I looked at some of the moves on 2x Xeon Gold 6154 and 1x Titan V for 10 minutes+ each with 6-piece TBs.
LC0 (42850) and Stockfish 10 prefer 11... Nd6 to Bb7. SF -0.27 vs -0.58, LC0 -0.28 vs -0.63.
They prefer 12... O-O or Bxc3+ to Qc7. SF -0.86 vs -1.05, LC0 -0.65 vs -1.41
13. Qb3 looks like a mistake vs O-O. SF +1.30 vs +0.09, LC0 +1.52 vs +0.15.
22. Nc4 looks around 0.5 weaker than Nd7
24... Qe7 looks around 0.8 worse than Bd5
29... Rd5 looks like a significant mistake vs. Rc8 (around 1.4 difference)
31... Qd3 doesn't look optimal (but the engines disagree if Nc8 or Qf5 are better).

I stopped looking at this point. SF has white at +4.75, LC0 at +2.50 after 17 minutes - interesting discrepancy. I think two mistakes (over 1.0 difference from where two very different top engines agree) and a couple near mistakes probably disqualify it from being the best blitz game ever.
