HE'S SO INNOCENT I CANT 😭

[@dfchang813]

Jesus he is so gangsta. Literally came into WCC with only 3 weeks prep, completely out prepared in openings. Has no idea wtf is going on, burning clock like a mofo, getting out of death situations with minutes to spare and now calmly announces for Golden Game he is coming for Gukesh. Words fail me.

[@ppmpyae1152]

The funniest part is he is not even trying to be that way. He is just trying his best and being honest yet he unintentionally ends up being so badass.

Why is only Ding getting interviewed (in this format)?!

[@snehashrivastava3571]

Coz only the offical press conference after the match is in the contract but this interview is not in the contract so before interviewing they ask each player whether they ve to do this or not and gukesh might ve denied it as this is not in the rule book it's by personal choice

Why lizhen became liren

[@pianissimomilano]

The sound does not exist in English. It is neither "r" nor "zh". But the system of transliteration (Hanyu Pinyin) sets it as r. In the same system, zh is used for another sound. But Ding doesn't mind if you just pronounce Liren in the English way 😊

[@Mișu007-m8g]

I never liked Ding. I could say he's the king of draws. A timid player who is very happy with a draw . His only chance to win a game is to have as much time as possible. In previous tournaments where time was short, the world champion Ding always finished in last places. I think he has some developmental issues, considering his voice and posture. He always looks like a hunchbacked old man.

[@DrAakashJ]

Stop bothering the tired players after having played for 6 hours and you interview them with stupid questions at 11 pm at night, especially when they have a crucial game the next day!😏
