The decisive game of the quick tiebreaker of the Astana World Cup is immortal by the courage of the Chinese. Liren Ding was crowned the new world champion on May 1 because he made a very high-risk decision, which requires great cold-bloodedness, intelligence and self-confidence.

The Chinese had assumed that a new draw would hurt him because he felt inferior to his rival, the Russian Ian Niepómniashi. And he decided that it was best to act like a kamikaze, nailing a tower over the king.
