People who went to try this online but got the black pieces 👇

Play simple.opening then goes on to show the london system that has a hundred variations

There are lots of variations in the london system, especially if your opponent doesn't play c5 the optimal set up includes c4. This is alright until a certain point.

For black the easiest setup based opening to learn is the KID (kings Indian defense)

When i do the London my opponents always do e5/e6 for some reason

The london works only if you are 1800 or less

Ive actually done that exact position several times over and over again against a 2000 elo bot and everytime its always the worst opening you could ever do your queen is blocked your knight could easily get pushed its a terrible position

The london system works for me like a chatm

I mean queen g3 is a good move because the pawn is pinned after the bishop takes the pawn, so it does make some sense to be honest.

chess comments section elo is pretty low...

"I know Its Hikaru turf", first giving credits to Nakamura for being the greatest in bullet chess, then later in the ceremonial gives huge compliment and recognition to Pragg as his defeat to the Indian prodigy proved to be the most memorable game in the latest Norway chess. That is the spirit of the Goat we all want to cherish

I hope this Ding comes back for this year's world championship!! Missing this smile.

lol

Dude is scared of losing to Hikura

So will he not play in bullet chess championship?

Giving Hikaru credit is huge.

Chess Gossips, cool video keep it up bro

Why don't Fabi Nepo Hikaru buy out Liren? Each pays Liren 333,333 USD to drop out and then the 3 have a playoff.

Even still why don't Fabi Nepo Hikaru buy out Liren? Each pays Liren 333,333 USD to drop out and then the 3 have a playoff.

Again why don't Fabi Nepo Hikaru buy out Liren? Each pays Liren 333,333 USD to drop out and then the 3 have a playoff.

At least Magnus had the decency of placing back the Black pieces on the board, Hikaru's is typical american behaviour, probably has shame that he can only win through flagging.

I think ding should start pl aying open tournaments with lower-rated players so he can gain some confidence back :(

Ding 😭😭 please get a hold of yourself

Hats off to Ding for still fighting even in the midst of the circumstance that he is going through right now. But honestly, and constructively, Ding is not in shape anymore right now. Yes you may be the "World Champ" right now, but the idea that I am always supporting is: "It is hard to reach the top. But it is much much harder to maintain your position at the top." And that's what's being displayed right now. Ding cannot maintain his status as the world champ. On the Contrary, when Magnus was the world champ, he defended his title 5x, while winning multiple tournaments, online, over the board, claiming the World Classical Champ, World Rapid Champ, World Blitz Champ , and also maintaining the highest ELO ratings in Classical, Rapid, and Blitz. That's the definition of a True World Champ, or moreover, even the true definition of "The GOAT". So it is not a disrespect to somewhat point out what Ding is currently displaying right now with his Chess playstyle. Ding is for now is like Vassyly Smyslov, achieved the world champ but he may not hold the title for long.

Ding, Ding, Ding smh🙁

Bravo my lovely Iranian ❤❤❤

Actually one of the craziest puzzle rush videos i have ever seen

imagine if it's canidate

Maybe Ding has a degenerative disease, or STD?

Yeah chinese bs

Advance congrats to Gukesh! You have made India proud. Although Ding could somehow win.

something about that ding blunder was fishy.

I already see how this is going to go. Ding will show up for 1+ million guaranteed prize and get annhilated. Gukesh will be a "fake" champion and people will plead Magnus to return. Magnus will clean up the Candidates and beat Gukesh saving chess and then retire for good.

Ding is suffering from Impostor syndrome, since he qualified for the Candidates in the place of a disqualified player, then went to the World Championship in the place left by the Magnus, all of this must have affected his psychology.

Magnus was put on the spot with questions. Ding Liren has not been active in chess since winning.

I just hope that Magnus will participate again in the candidates and destroy everyone, and eventually annihilate (Ding) or (Gukesh) in the World Champ Match.n No one deserves the title of being the World Chess Champion other than Magnus Carlsen. The one true GOAT.

Ding feels guilt. he knows he is not the true champ, and it is upsetting to him. the Chinese are like that, they have a lot of personal honor.

The Tony Ferguson of chess

Ding is trying to make a streak.

People should stop digging into Ding's personal life.. Every chess player goes through a rough patch. Just because it happened to Ding while he's champion doesn't mean he's exempt from being a human going through normal human things. Carlsen also had several lows between his many highs. So did Kasparov. And Caruana, and Vishy, and so forth. Everyone experiences this. We should give Ding space and let him do his thing. Whether or not he returns to form is entirely up to him. We should support him.

When Magnus was World Champion, he argued that the reigning Champion should have to earn their way back in thru the Canidates and not get an automatic invite. This way you would have two players who are at their best competing.

Ding won wcc fair and square!😊

Lacking practice has nothing to do with someones general ability.. or mental faculty...

Ding didn't practice enough during the past year. I heard that he lost interest in chess. It's quite possible, especially after becoming a world champion. He has nothing to prove anymore.

Awkward question IMO. Can they stop asking about this?
