The hilarious thing is that the depth of modern talent means he may not even win, if he did enter.

[@jakefromstatefarm8367]

well he does look like he's in his 40s, so that helps. The first time I saw Gukesh, I thought he's the same age as Magnus and Hikaru at least.

[@zereen-1]

He gave alot of thanks to his mental coach

[@straightfacts5352]

While Ding blundered, his slow play finally cost him. He was too impatient for the draw because of the massive time discrepancy.

[@hughtube5154]

Curious, do you think the lack of increment was a good or a bad thing? Would we have seen more aggressive chess from Ding if he had more time, or was it his lack of preparation that meant he had to calculate so much?

[@isaki4869]

​@@hughtube5154imo probably lacks of preparation so he trying figuring things OTB and loses many time that ended giving Gukesh many winning chances

[@_Infocars]

​@@hughtube5154 Ding liren simply lost his patience.

[@Moon4Tzuyu]

I don't think that's the only issue... In the end game, even before the blunder, Ding's face turned red... I wonder if it is associated with his health... In the press conference, Gukesh mentioned multiple times that Ding's physical condition is not great yet he played incredible chess... Gukesh totally deserved this win though...

[@TheRealCabe]

Kudos for not spoiling the result in title or thumbnail Antonio. Unlike other content creators of the more clickbaity variety. I open KZbin and bam match spoiled, which is a bit of a shame.

​@@somethingaboutouss I disagree, that quote would be adequate for a draw, it's not as blatant as that. A far cry from titles you'll see in your homepage that mercilessly spoil the result, showing little respect for the fans who aren't watching the stream live just waiting for the commentary from their favorite creator. But hey it's KZbin, it's not a huge deal would just be cool to not know before getting to that end game, that totally looked like a draw til it didn't!

Props to Gukesh for pushing and always wanting the game to continue even in drawish positions . A monumental and historic win for Gukesh . As he said he knows he is not the strongest player in world but he has achieved the championship at age 18 Quite an impressive feat .

[@michaeldavidson2789]

@@FFassassin71 Also, he might not have blundered if he was not so down on time. He might not have been so down on time if he had prepared better before the match.

[@stevenrix7024]

It wasn’t clear from this whether Ding was forced to liquidate the queenside at the cost of a pawn or whether he chose to do so in order to exchange some pieces and leave just the kingside pawns (perhaps thinking it would be a trivial draw). Ding took time for several of his last few moves (including five mins for Ra4 then three mins for Ba8, just a move or two before his blunder, leaving just 9-10 mins for his remaining moves) and Gukesh could have pressed for as long as he wanted, with minimal chance of losing.

[@fryzollis]

Deserving champion 🏆 he showed resilience and tenacity in this match. especially in the final game he played like Magnus, refusing a draw and squeezing water from stone. Congrats 👏🏻🎉 tough loss for ding, but he played incredibly well despite his health issues

[@TumiWahi]

no he ddnt,I think people noise made him search for a win

[@chetanpandit983]

He is not just youngest world champion, but has broken Kasparov's record by 6 years. It is most unlikely that this record will be broken. Theoretically, yes, records get broken. But Fischer's 6 - 0 against Taimanov and then LArsen is unbroken after 53 years. Gukesh's world champion at 18 is also likely to remain unbroken.

[@fangiscool1]

Many new records feel that way and are always broken eventually. But this one is quite unique, considering Ding is not even a top 20 player. The stars aligned for this record to be broken.

[@user-uc7qb1su4e]

Gukesh just made unquestionably the greatest achievements in chess in a single year that anybody has ever made. 1. Wins the Candidates with a field of Fabiano, Nepomniachtchi, Hikaru amongst others + avenged his only loss in the tournament to Alireza. 2. Olympiad individual gold + Olympiad team gold + one of the only 3000 performance ratings in history. 3. Wins world championship in the final game before tiebreaks with the black pieces. And this is all only at 17-18 years old. Incredible. You can’t not respect it. Truly inspiring stuff. Congratulations Gukesh.

[@UnknownUser-j3n]

You know when Magnus first arrived on the scene, we showed a lot of respect for him. I am talking long before he became world champion. Because we appreciate good players. But it seems the world is very biased. They have negative things to say about Gukesh. But anyway they have to now live with this reality, Gukesh is the world champion, they can't do anything about it.

[@marcusfossa6695]

[@georgeray649]

Gukesh's seconds team had Duda and Vincent keymer. Duda is so tough to beat in any formats.

[@MF_Plissken]

this was for sure one of the better fide chips. 5 wins/losses is quite an interesting match between two players that are basically on the same level

[@fep_ptcp883]

Chess should be taught in reverse: first endgame techniques, then middle game tactics, last openings and long term strategy. This game shows why. Endgame must be second nature for a player, and when Gukesh smelled the blood he dove for the win

[@haniotis3421]

He smelled nothing. He was pushing Ding to blunder b/c of his low time, and he knew he needed a miracle to win this game b/c if this had drawn and they had gone to rapid, Ding was the favorite. It's too bad after all this brilliant play this blunder that maybe a 1600 rated player wouldn't even make decided the championship.

[@fep_ptcp883]

@haniotis3421 he smelled the blood meaning he felt time pressure was coming to Ding, who was taking more time than the increment to make his moves and then insead of aquiescing to a draw by repetition, decided to push for an improbable blunder. He refused draws before in the match, so deserved to be the winner

[@ethaziel]

I would say it was well deserved win for Gukesh, as it was mostly him with better positions, some advantages and chances. Ding was usually the one who had to defend very precisely to survive. So it seems that the slightly better player won the match and the title. I wonder who will be the next challanger :D

[@sukhbirsingh8053]

Hikaru or Nepo

[@_Infocars]

Next candidates will be interesting

[@kaushalpitroda4467]

[@turtle752436]

Congrats to Gukesh. Disappointed in Ding, but as Agad said, he was certainly no pushover. It was not the first time Gukesh was presented with an opportunity to win in this match, this time his preparation and pressure paid off. Let's hope he intends to hold the crown. And congratulations to Anand too. It's nice to see his efforts pay off.

[@daveteare1054]

Thank you for finishing the game. ❤ I really appreciate it. End games are incredibly difficult for me (so say we all!) as I learned them almost exclusively through rapid and blitz games. I learn a lot when you show how to force a final mate. Related: I remember in one video you said you’d make a video focused on how to convert being up a piece into a win. I don’t believe you had a chance to complete that idea and I’d love to see it. Also, now that FIDE championships are done, I hope you find some time to play some rapid games. #suggestion

[@RadheRadhe-ln6sw]

Both the players played fantastic games. The ding's comeback in game 12 was just superb 🎉. Gukesh also shown best performance and pushed every match rather than just accepting draws.... The true Challenger 🎉❤

Kind of a fitting ending given Ding has had time trouble the entire match and getting low on time in game 14 could have been what caused the late blunder. Sad to see for Ding, but time management finally caught up with him.

Congratulations Gukesh !!! Absolutely incredible victory 🎉🎉 This was one roller coaster of a championship.. Ding Liren played his best chess in the clutch, but this was such an unbelievable ending.. he can play the best defensive and offensive games AND blunder away his crown all in in the space of less than 5 days.. Mr.Jekyll and Hyde of chess. What Gukesh has accomplished at the age of 18 in one year , World Champion, Olympic Gold ... I doubt if this will ever be matched I can now understand the real reason why Kasparov was so sour and jealous after Ding blundred in Game 11.. he realised that Gukesh could very well beat HIS Record of being the youngest world champion in the next 3 games... He obviously rates his victory over Karpov at the age of 22 as the bigger achievement and I actually think he has a strong case to make... But to undermine and disrespect Gukesh as being nothing more than a FIDE title champion was ugly to say the least. Gukesh proved that the best way to silence all the haters is to display that a world chess champion is as mentally strong as his technical caliber. Take a bow Gukesh... !!

As someone who plays the opening badly but the endgame pretty well, and saw the solution for "pause the video" (it's really not hard), the detail that Gukesh paused and took a sip of water after 55. Rf2?? is great color. He must have been thinking "I'm the new world champion. I'm eighteen years old and I'm the mfing world champion." [edit: actually, I have it on good authority that Gukesh's actual thoughts were "I'm about to knock out Ding Liren and I just turned 18! I must be the greatest. Oh I"m so pretty. I shook up the world! I shook up the world!. Oh let me bring Sam Cooke in over here... this is Sam Cooke."
