This match is the proof why Gukesh is the World Championship Challenger

[@prajwalbharambe343]

i mean he came out on top in candidates with hikaru nep fabi 😮😮

[@has642]

he doesn't had to prove himself in the first place he already won candidates so obviously proved it.

[@halliluyahh]

He won the candidates so that is enough proof within itself

[@gffg387]

That's why he's the World Champion candidate.

[@danh72]

Ding didn't want to lose to Gukesh

[@SaiPavanK]

Or he did not want to show his prep .. please don't assume. Ding is a legend .. he deserves respect

[@sheldonkupa9120]

Exactly. He is still not in form and going in the WCC with a recent loss is a disadvantage. Gukesh showed he is a monster right now, Wei Yi is super strong, and how Gukesh found only moves so short of time, wow just wow. When Ding cant get back his old form, he doesnt stand a chance. Its strange, but Ding wasnt even in top form when he became WC...

[@MEMESTANZINDABAD]

​@@SaiPavanKrespect on a side but he already lost last match 😢 So he saved himself from two consecutive lose🎉

[@rajsub3884]

​@@SaiPavanK are u nuts preparation does nothing ultimately you have to play beyond that I'm endgame middle game .yesterday it was crucial match you are world champion your team need and u backs out

[@rajsub3884]

​@@sheldonkupa9120 yes gukesh rarely makes mistake. He kept pressing in that I had fear he might win two knight against rook can be dangerous if not accurate

[@Tar_kat]

Worth to notice a few participants at the Olympiad pointed out C-Squared as their favourite chess podcast in their short interviews on the Chessbase channel. Like Ivan Cheparinov and Jessy February, for example. 🙂

[@golendorfjules1838]

Two things, one, this podcast can only be great with fabi, Christian does not represent anything people want to see or know about. Two, fabi is way too deep in real chess he does not have the time for the podcast to be great. So yeah best podcast I beg to differ, it's just centered around fabi who is a shy reserved guy and doesn't want to talk much. All chess podcasts are extremely boring to be honest, it's just chess interview of players or it's OMG BIG CHEATING DRAMA MUST WATCH MUST CLICK.

[@LearningLegendsHQ]

Best end game explanation for this game. I watched 3-4 other videos but nobody explained the importance of each move Gukesh made.

[@shashwattripathi4559]

Yea, Levy's was particularly shit

[@anshulsingh6959]

Levy was in a hurry today he has to go somewhere.....but Sagar did well analysis in yesterday stream

[@_sayan_roy_]

@@shashwattripathi4559 Yes, and Agadmator's was even worse surprisingly. Although, C squared didn't explain the other half of why Gukesh's king d2 was the only accurate move, like why king c2 wasn't. He explained why e2 wasn't, but it is still much better than other videos.

[@GeekoDesi]

[@loneranterism]

This is Magnus level endgame squeezing technique. Gukesh has absolutely amazing level of chess stamina

[@Pac-Man10]

Same thoughts gukesh never looked that strong before but he is now on top form compared to past while ding is still doing mistakes I hope he will not bluder at championship match

[@Jacob99174]

Did Christian just get ANOTHER haircut? Weekly! 😂

[@noone-ld7pt]

Ding ducking Gukesh is a bad look tbh. Gukesh then winning is such a statement.

[@SerLaama]

It's not any kind of a look at all, it's very common to avoid putting future world championship contestants against one another like this for obvious reasons. And yeah, it's such a statement, stating that... he won this one particular game. Okay. I like Gukesh too, but calm down.

[@darrenjohn8524]

​@@SerLaamaIt's a show of weakness regardless. World champions don't usually duck their challengers before the championship match 🤣.

[@Pac-Man10]

Ding : sorry we dont do previews 😂 literally ding is either going to cook or be cooked at this point i watched the endgame recap 3 times from different chess experts most notably Nakamura i usually understand things aftee some explanations but i still dont think that endgame was normal from gukesh it was a bit like what magnus can do

[@neerajnongmaithem392]

Tbh Ding looks cooked. He is not able to draw or hold weaker players. He is outright losing to weaker players, even if you are hiding prep, you just don't get outplayed so many times by weaker players. Ding is having one of the worst slumps of his life ever in the worst time possible.

[@apoorvawasthi4293]

This is one of the best explanation of this game on youtube. Please make these videos on future games as well. High quality content👏👏

[@FloydBoudreaux]

I saw reports (one by GM Susza Polgar) that the Danube River overflowed from Storm Boris causing record rainfall for September and massive flooding throughout Europe. Ding Liren's hotel was apparently cut off from transportation forcing him to switch hotels and thus miss the round.

[@mettataurr]

Bro must cut his own hair. Aint no way its always fresh like that

Nice to see Christian recapping. Fabiano and Aronian quite on fire, the others not so much !

[@barghavansrinidhimohankuma921]

lol. Wei yi was slated to face ding. He is funny like that.

[@cryptonetwork7784]

Tot I was the only one who heard it.

[@amitraohuman]

The two knights ballet! Guki's immortal ❤

[@maicolc7216]

I appreciate Christian's work here, but it seems to me that he is comparing the players' choices to perfection, rather than considering the moves from a human perspective.

[@nyztan0]

great recap

[@Scholarofonecandle]

This is the square root

[@DanRaj-o8y]

It's funny how you mention that certain moves are terrible, but the evaluation bar doesn't change at all

[@zaik0798]

I thought this too at first, but then I realized that the bar actually doesn’t take into account the moves he makes when he shows different lines from those from the actual game

[@prateekc7804]

Some moves are really terrible, but evaluation bar doesn't reflect it

[@swapanjain892]

I think Ding is recharging himself to be at his best during the world championship. It will be a good contest.

[@spnhm34]

Meanwhile Fabi is talking to himself about goats

[@prajwalbharambe343]

i feel bad for fabi. he never won becaue of magnus 😢

[@suhrittamsanyal2906]

Team India is Super Shuffling now.

[@simonkim8646]

I'm really curious as to why he played Rc1 instead of Ra1... was he afraid of the rook getting trapped somehow?

[@Conservativeskater]

No prob wants to just hide all prep

[@IanMcGarrett]

Ding isn't in good form anyways.

[@vneel143]

Honestly, not a great analysis. Just skipped through the whole decision of sacrificing the rook to create that imbalance, its not trivial. If you want to start doing reviews (against the options of agad and gotham) you better be more thorough or bring your unique insights into it. Cheers!

[@abhishekkj9664]

Agadir just reads out moves. Daniel King is much better imo

[@SerLaama]

Agad and Gotham's recaps are trash, not the comparison you want to make buddy boy.

Yo yo yo maybe usa will stop india??.. even though they dropped points... this might be called arrogance??

Ding is the most random World Chess Champion, could never take him serious in this position.

[@rajsub3884]

Ding should honestly backout its embarrassing. You are world champion its crucial round and you are backing out .wei yi he is perfect star but ding is wc if he is real champion like magnus you cant even rest in such important round .no way you can win title one time lucky .first you need have confidence fearing u might lose .wei yi is very strong in form he couldnt play accurately how can u expect liren to do. Its looks extremely difficult to stop india they havent lose single match everyyother team did. It needs more than miracle to stop them arjun gukesh prag then vidit all inform

[@SerLaama]

Calm down, it's super common for future WCC contestants to avoid playing each other.

[@MichaelHTaylor08]

For the good of the game Ding really shouldn't play the world championship match, the way he's been playing he needs to step aside and let Fabi or Hikaru play instead, he won't obviously so I'm predicting a very one sided match.

[@Cumocumono]

Ding will definitely play WCC. There is a lot of money even for a runner up.

[@MichaelHTaylor08]

@Cumocumono yes but it will be awful and he stands no chance of winning

@zepar6076 nonsense? You really want to watch Ding lose game after game to Gukesh? I'm just saying it would be a lot more interesting if he didn't play. Obviously he earned the right to play so he will.

[@giaccomusic]

Hikaru please start studying for WC match and Ding please let him play. I think it is just fair at this point as Ding is not at all in form. It will be boring to watch and not good for the game.

This is about Ding rights, who earned it. He has the right to KO like a warrior. If you arent interested, just dont watch it.
