Ian showed visible signs of nervousness, became emotional, and then tried to quickly relax and continue to think. Time pressure kept haunting him. Ding tried to control his stress and stayed focused, and when Ian resigned, he became very emotional. Ding was losing on time, but stayed calm, thought carefully, and successfully got ahead. Both are amazing chess players and i respect them equally. You both are winners. 🎊💐👏☺️

[@TheWeredude]

That shot of Ding with his head in his hand after the game was over, with pieces tipped over is just so powerful. These games are so intense.

[@be4st856]

Ding is a likeable character. Congrats to him!

[@healthwealth1261]

The juxtaposition of Nepo's total devastation resulting in the pieces falling over and Ding' frozen moment of pure emotion will be etched in my mind for some time... Dramatic conclusion to a spectacular battle... There can only be one Champ... Congrats to Ding

[@joergschulzhamburg]

What a dramatic final. Both were close but Ding had the stronger self confidence in the final minutes. He looked like being completely isolated from the surrounding people and environment whereas Nepo seemed to become more and more nervous. The strength of Ding's menthal concentration was in my point of view the little advantage he had to become the champion. Two fantastic chess players, thank you both for so much exciting chess moments. It was fun and worth watching!

[@D_hk11]

What an unbelievably difficult moment for Ian. I think Ding thought Nepo was coming around to congratulate him, so he went for a second hand shake. Good on Ian for not leaving him hanging. But, I will say this. When I first started watching Agadmator, he introduced me to Nepo by saying that he was the most exciting player and probably a future world champion. Nepo has a thrilling play style, and he was certainly the reason this match was so exciting! Thank you, Ian. We have not seen the last of this monster. Congratulations, Ding Liren!!!

DING CHILLING🥶

[@bz9031]

Hi just wondering why he is call Ding Chilling lol

[@bayani7626]

Ding literally needs a movie like wtf. He wasn't even meant to play in world championship 🤯 - 1st Chinese chess champion - Played 30 classical games in a month to qualify for candidates since Karjakin was disqualified - Finished 2nd in candidates by beating Hikaru and only qualified to world championship because Magnus refused to defend his title - Down 1 point in the beginning of match, but equalizes it. Almost lost game 12 then made huge comeback, equalizing the match again - Ding's first win with black pieces against Ian was the last game, if it wasn't for his courage to go for rg6, the game would be draw - Beat Ian, 2nd ranking in the world, supported by his team with big names and have been previous world champion candidates. Does Ding even have a team backing him? idk Rapport maybe😂 - Made it difficult to enter the big leagues since China doesn't support him much and Chinese visa is crap. Pandemic made it hard to leave the country

[@33km]

Ding finished 2nd not just by beating Hikaru, but because Rajabov unexpectedly defeated Hikaru last their game. Draw was ok for Hikaru to take 2 place

[@Heylon1313]

And Ding recovered from completely freezing in game 7 and brought it back

[@judexbarborum]

[@X_Paul_X]

This didn't seem like a world championship match to me. The defending champion bows out rather than defend. Ding, who failed to qualify for the match via the candidates tournament gets pushed in to make up the numbers. In my opinion, the standard of play was at a lower level overall than the previous few world championship match ups. Magnus would beat both of these players heads up and likely beat them both if they played together against him. Anyway, congratulations to Ding!

[@xxMADxxSCIENTISTxx]

Maybe Alekhine would've lost against Capablanca, if a rematch had ever happened. Maybe Kramnik would've lost against Kasparov, if the latter had been better prepared... Coulda, shoulda, woulda: didn't. I would be thrilled to see Magnus take another shot at the throne, though, I can't deny that.

[@vibovitold]

@@xxMADxxSCIENTISTxx if Kasparov didn't play Kramnik in 2000, his fans would be dead certain to this very day that "Kasparov would have beaten Kramnik heads up, drunk, blindfolded yadda yadda yadda" : ) and they could make a good case. Kasparov was almost 80 points higher rated (!), he had won like 6 world championships before, and he had perfect rights to claim the GOAT status (Kramnik - well, not anywhere near such position). but here's the thing now: you can't lose a match if you don't play it. sure. but if you do play it, you can lose : ) you can even lose unexpectedly. being a legend doesn't make anyone immune to losing and doesn't prevent upsets from happening. PS. Carlsen's lifetime score against Ding is, i believe, +1 =9 -0. that's a 55% performance; clearly an edge, but hardly a win in a bag. i don't know where the notion comes from that he would eat Ding for breakfast. well, i mean, i kind of do know it - that's what being an infamous "fanboy" is about : )
