I feel like losing the title will turn out to be blessing in disguise for Ding. I think being a WC weighed him down and affected his chess performance. He can now play freely again. I expect him to come back stronger than ever.

[@SambedikaJena-y8z]

He will get better and now he has nothing to lose but everything to gain. He is indeed a great humn being. He will come back stronger.

[@br2398]

100% agree. Honestly I feel this may be the best outcome for him, he was in such a bad place and if he had won he would have the exact same struggles next time around. But since he showed up and fought incredibly, he silenced the doubters while also hopefully taking himself to a place where he can be much less stressed from now on

[@NormCantoral]

@@SambedikaJena-y8z uh, correction. he went into this match clearly knowing he could lose everything. this is why Magnus didn't defend his title. Magnus wanted to go out on top and not be defeated and also tired of the championship process. on the opposite end of the spectrum, Ding could get better and reclaim the title. but now he enters the championship calendar as a candidate which as you witnessed in 2021 was very very difficult for him being a chinese citizen and almost didn't work out except for a made up tournament at the end of the year.

[@SebastianSchachner]

and thats why i feel like Ding is not really sad about loosing and maybe blundered not on completly on porpuse but also really didn't cared anymore. He said multiple times he is tired of playing chess and he never really played for an advantage in this game

EXACTLY TRY PLAYING A GAME OF MIND WITH MENTAL ISSUES NOT SO EASY HELL IMPOSSIBLE THE FACT THAT HE DIDN'T GET BLOWN OVER THE BOARD LONG BACK IS MINDBOGGLING. This guy is very dangerous kudos for playing this long sad that he wasn't in peak form would have been a much better match this was just ding fighting against 2 opponents one his opponent and the other himself .Hope the former champ gets well soon and win with whatever demons he's fighting.

[@martinskullerud2195]

Absolutely heartbreaking. I was cheering for Ding all along precisely because I didn't want to see it end like this. Ding deserves so much more than to be a footnote in the history of the World Championship because personal issues got in the way of him being his best self. Having said that, Gukesh is amazing and also absolutely deserves to be world champion. I'm looking forward to his first defense already.

[@myshiftisbroken]

i did expect gukesh to win but not like this 😢 It felt like Ding lost to himself. Ironic that when last world champion, Ding risked it all with rg6 and won, now he tried to play it safe and lost it all

[@danielboiani288]

Ding defended his title with more skill than I think was expected of him given the last year or so that he has had. Gukesh played with notable poise for such a young man. It is fitting though that the title was won on what was essentially a blunder. Ding had not been in top form for quite a while, and this ending showed it. I hope he does not get demoralized by this and devotes himself to a more rigorous regimen of play in the future because when he is at his best, he truly is world champion calibre. Gukesh, on the other hand, is ushering in what I think may be the Indian era for chess, akin to the Soviet dominance of the post war era. Very interested to see where we go from here ....

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

Theres a certain poetic irony to Ding’s plan of killing the game and trading down trying to get a draw, figuring he’s better in faster time controls, losing due to all those factors.

[@Stockfish-u3g]

Gukesh deserved it. He played with more ambition and hunger for victory throughout the entire match. With the same attitude I always have when I play chess.

All things said, I think Ding did a great job in this World Championship. There were definitely games that showed that he deserves to be in that seat, all while dealing some mental health troubles. Congrats to Gukesh too!

[@FearPass0]

I started following Ding LiRen in 2020. Your chess game against baijinshi really surprised me. You can always calculate the most accurate move and the riskiest move. Every time I watch you play chess I feel like you are walking on a tightrope high in the sky. The saddest thing for me is when everyone is saying that you don't deserve to be a world champion, even you yourself say that I may lose to gukesh badly, but you have done very well, although it is not like your peak. But in the 12th game, I seemed to see you back then. Finally, I want to say pls don't not retire. I still want to continue to watch you play chess.I believe you will come back next year with a more confident, happier and stronger version of yoirself DingLiren🔥. But congratulations to the youngest world champion in history- Gukesh D！！

[@KeeperCode]

This World Championship had so many fun moments. GGs all around.

[@deividgf1606]

It was by far the worst match ever, ding blundering like a 500 elo player for no reason, no wonder why magnus stopped playing this nonsense, ding is a disgrace for chess

[@O1Art]

I want to congradulate Ding for letting Gukesh win. He already had the chance to become world champion and that was very kind and humble of him to give someone else a chance.

[@Reversely]

This also means Ding will finally have the weight off his shoulders and could focus on his mental health without the pressure of being the World Champion.

[@mitz8852]

[@im.rishabh_ofc]

When he was 11 said I wish to become the youngest world chess champion and at 18 he did it. GUKESH DOMMARAJU THE NEW LEGEND

[@petrri323]

The fact that he was up on so much time that late in the game really is the X factor. Say what you want to, but that is an overwhelming advantage. Ding always wastes time, but he almost never leaves himself with this much of a time disparity. Especially this late in the game. Time advantage *is* a winning factor in chess. Specifically on the world stage.

[@jovindsouza3407]

I checked the broadcast for the first time about 90 minutes ago, saw that Gukesh had an extra pawn but everything was on the same side of the board and assumed it would be a draw and tuned out. Then I checked back in an hour later and RIGHT as I started watching Ding resigned. Bruh
