It's not so easy to down Gukesh! | Ding Liren vs Gukesh | Game 2 | FIDE World Championship 2024

[@Melvinstar-k9f]

It was a great moment indeed to see both player smiling and discussing. I kind of like this pairing for this WC better than the previous year. Ding and Gukesh are more similar to each other in that they both have very mild and friendly personalities, while Nepo is quite an intimidating character lol... He was definitely putting a lot of psychological pressure on Ding last year.

[@kamalakantanieves5371]

Both players are capable of great level. For Ding, it is about regaining his form. He is indeed an extraordinary player. For Gukesh, for all his brilliance, his first game was below his level. Nerves probably played a part. I am not concerned about Gukesh; Petrosian lost the first game of his 1963 WC match against Botvinnik, but won the match. So, it has been done before. I have been voting for all the Indian players since the 2022 Olympiad, but in this match, I like both players. Best wishes to all!

Fischer lost his first 2 games against Spassky

[@datdudeinred]

​@@jevitigrewell that was different era.

[@Darkanimator2056]

​@@jevitigre so gukesh is bobby? bobby lost earlier games because he said he was distracted by camera and noises.

[@jevitigre]

I didnt say Guskesh is Bobby, besides in this era there were gases lost in the first round when the loser eventually became the champion

[@tuktukkkkkk]

The moment u stop seeing opponent as enemy, u r bound to loose. That's why China is ahead of India in everything cos they see opponent as enemy... whereas we r behaving so stupid as we can't stop sympathizing with Ding even after seeing his great form in 1st match...weird.

[@jupiterapollo4985]

God bless Chessbase india for the analysis and short recaps. And of course thanks to the goat Sagar!

[@dominiquefrechette8336]

I'm glad that they drew this second match, and that Ding won the first one. Ding is a great chess player, and I hope this series at least shuts up the people arguing he's the worst world champion. I'm glad that Gukesh has points on the board now though. He seemed so stressed, so tense before, during and after the first match, but here, at the end of the second one, he looked like he was in a better head space. This is good. I don't know who I want to see win the whole thing, but I'm glad it's not been too one-sided so far.

[@chesstime_0720]

Good draw

[@_kumar9644]

Magnus and Fabi criticised the move which was played by Gukesh at match 1. CBI what is your opinion? And Magnus predicted that Diing will win his first match.

[@CheckMateMate10]

It sucks how the players don’t get money when they draw

[@floe61]

Then they'll sign a pact to draw each other until the final game. Win-Win isn't it?

[@SanjayKumar-n8h3s]

That's NOT remotely close to how it works. The 2.5 million prize fund will be paid out, in its entirety, regardless of the results, to the two players.

[@shubbyshabaas]

FIDE wants to incentivize players to push for a win.

[@AstitvaMishra-ed6fg]

Bro chess is not a high paying game

[@LionelMessi-nw1cb]

​@@SanjayKumar-n8h3sbro there is price of 200k$ for per game.

[@snowflakee7734]

Chess played perfectly is a draw. Gukesh going for the draw strategically so he could score, get a stable base in the tournament, break the nerves. And also, for Ding, just to get back his form. He was playing very solidly. The next games will be very interesting. Gukesh will start the aggressive attack next game, we will see how Ding will defend.

[@evlienace]

Awesome highlights

[@singularsink]

I think it was the nerve of the first game and media over hype about Ding's bad form -- which cost him the game. Second game his main focus must be to steady the ship which he did. Also at that level they r mind trained to really stay at the moment, forget past mistakes. I believe today's game must have given him confidence that he belongs here. Looking of a fantastic championship ahead.

[@randypablo4391]

Gukesh should play safe until Ding loses his nerves from game 5 onwards

[@lordespion8789]

Obnoxious advice. I'd advice him to fight head on like a man

[@coolvicky797]

Gukesh D will comeback ❤

[@sureshakella4263]

The wishes of many are with him, as we see the young wonder so sincere in his pursuit.

[@siewpoh5]

I am so impressed with this commentor, direct style simple words hard hitting .... Another thing, At least give the players a little money for the draw ...

[@ramlall56]

Bobby had lost his first game against Spassky 1972 WC and then forfeited his second too by not playing! Went on to win by a record margin. All that matters is self confidence, nothing else at that level.

[@IndianchessPrince]

But gukesh may surpass Bobby innext 5 years but I don't think he is of that level just yet

[@knowledgeablechad]

@@IndianchessPrince yeah mate thats not the point. ding is not at the level of spassky also.

Finally, yall gotta upload these faster. Hes the only way ill watch chess with him commentating. I cant stand these 3 people you have on the livestreams constantly talking in hindi. I dont understand shit and its annoying to see an english title but only listen to this mish mash.

[@JimBrego]

This is exactly why i didn't watch the livestream. Mixing with Hindi sucks.

[@iDC-Javi]

how about you chill a bit and understand the world doesn't revolve around you. they don't care if you can't understand hindi, it's called chessbase india after all. Just because a lot of content is in English doesn't mean they have to stick to English 100% of the time.

[@juvawaveredlighttherapy]

So don’t watch this channel. No one cares what you think and they’re not doing this recap to please you Karen. Go have a man trum somewhere else.

[@knowledgeablechad]

Not easy to down Ding

[@whaddoiknow6519]

The live commentary on CBI is gawd awful, with complete dingbats like Samay Raina and others who know nothing about the game yapping on to fill dead time. Even Tania Sachdev (an IM, no less) is clearly pulling opinions out of air. It would be much better if there was just commentator, preferably Sagar Shah. As it is, it is no use watching the live game -- much more fruitful to see it on Power Play Chess or agadmator later on.

[@SoeMoe-b7y]

Worng Caption.Not easy to down Gukes.Must be Not easy to down Ding because of Ding is still world champion.Gukes is down to Ding.Ding is kicking off to Gukes

“It’s not so easy to down Gukesh!” So we’re just gonna ignore that first game? Please try to be at least a bit unbiased in your analysis.
