I just can’t envision Ding suddenly playing his best chess again even so I’m rooting for my guy Gukesh he has great determination and he’s a great classical chess GM this Championship means so much to him and all of India 🇮🇳 I really hope he prevails and believe he will . The first few games will give us some idea of how this contest will go I hope Gukesh gets off to a strong start that will be encouraging Thanks Agadmator 😊♟️‼️🇮🇳🏆❤️

[@Dev_712]

In my opinion, Gukesh should try to win in the classical format itself. He has shown incredible calculation and conversion skills, especially in the game with the Knights in the olympiad. But his recent performances in rapid hasn't been that good. Ding, on the other hand might try to draw the classical matches and fight it out in the rapid since he was once one of the highest rated rapid and blitz players. Hopefully, it will be a good match with fireworks in each round!

[@davidknutty]

I think they're both extreme calculators so it's going to be interesting to say the least. Like Magnus himself admitted that Ding was a better calculator than himself. And I think the extremely sharp positions Gukesh can produce is going to inspire Ding to bring back his old self. That's all he's missing I feel is inspiration.

How does this sound ???? Ding vs Gukesh (14 Match WCC): Match1: Ding Wins after Gukesh blunders a drawish position due to WCC pressure and the kind of attention he gets. Score: 1-0 Match 2-5: Dull Draws (Gukesh wants to settle down, so goes bookish, Ding ,fully aware of not being his best, plays it absolute safe) Score: 3-2 Match 6: Gukesh is now fully equipped with the situation and starts playing aggressive chess, but Ding holds him somehow. Score: 3.5-2.5 Match 7: Both play to a draw, midway. Score: 4-3 Match 8: Law of averages catch up with Ding, and he loses with some poor play. Scores level at: 4-4 Match 9-10: Gukesh goes on his menacing best, puts Ding under severe pressure, and manages to outplay him in both. Scores: 4-6. History calling .... Match 11: Ding comes back with a bang, plays an incredible game at 3000 elo level that Gukesh has no answers to: Score: 5-6 Match 12: Both players are now exhausted, and settle for a draw. Score: 5.5-6.5 Match 13: Gukesh prepares to go for a draw even before the 1st move, but Ding doesn't relent, match goes on for 100+ moves, Ding blunders at the fag end after a 7 hr play, and Gukesh wins. Final Score: 5.5-7.5 With that, Gukesh becomes the youngest WCC, and is all set to meet either Nordirbek or Arjun for the next WCC in 2026 !!

My predictions 1. Gukesh will show no nerves in the match - not even in the first game. 2. He will handily beat Ding and it will be over well before the 14 games. 3. Then the top chess players will insinuate that it was not the best 2 players and he is not deserving. 4. That will motivate him to go on a binge over the next year beating all the top players except Magnus.

[@joshiebrown3787]

#Suggestion - Can you please cover the game between Ding Liren beating Magnus Carlsen in the blitz game. I forgot what year it was but I remember the position leading to Magnus Carlsen resigning since there was no way to stop the opera house checkmate. Magnus threaten checkmate but Ding defended with a discovered checkmate defense with the knight back. (The immortal Ivanchuk move) take it into consideration and have an excellent rest of your day.

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

Once again, FIDE doesn't get it. There should NEVER be short-game tie-breaks. There's an old saying: "To be the best you must beat the best." In a 14-game match, Gukesh should have to reach 7-1/2 points to take the title. Otherwise, he hasn't proved he's better than Ding, and therefore Ding should keep his title. Remember, this is the pinnacle of chess superiority. All other chess titles -- no matter how prestigious or lucrative -- pale in comparison. This is the one championship that should be settled on the merits of the rules of classical time format. The only variation I'd be comfortable with are minor adjustments to the time format itself. Of course, many of you will argue that in other championship contests -- say, the NFL's Super Bowl, or the Masters golf tournament, or the World Cup of Soccer, special short-form tie-breaks are part of the game. But not all championships go that route. For example, the World Series [of Major League Baseball] simply goes into extra innings to decide the winner (in fact, they do that even for regular-season games).
