This was the tableau that transfixed fans over three weeks in the just concluded world chess championship match between Ding Liren and Dommaraju Gukesh.
Liren wears a white shirt and nervously covers his mouth with his hand. Gukesh, dressed nattily in a powderblue suit, sports the results of a teenager’s first, brash attempt at growing a beard. He closes his eyes and leans back as if for a power nap, but in reality, a contemplation of the position in the movie theatre of the mind’s eye.
Absolute silence reigns. The stage, enclosed by a soundproof glass wall, is dubbed the fishtank. To the uninitiated this contest mainly consists of two men locked in a room for six hours, who spend it alternately staring at the board and at each other. To chess fans, it is a cerebral Olympus.
The apparent calm masks the furious thoughts raging below the surface, as move and countermoves are considered, analysed and rejected in a soundless mental symphony.
