[@chessbrah]

Are you guys team DING or team GUKESH? 👀

[@damiester1]

Team Ding because he respected Eric all those years ago

[@frustis]

​@@damiester1whats this story? Please context. Also team Ding

[@KennardAlfredLim]

DINGGG of Course it's DING, it's like DING DONG, Who's there? DING! Ding Who? I'M GONNA DINGDONGYOURMOMMA 😊

[@droidgeist]

Ding. I love an underdog story.

[@P.sherman45]

hard to choose any of these guys both of them have 0 enemies and are super nice. but Team Ding

[@theiceburger]

This is exactly what I needed, go Aman! Looking forward to the rest of the coverage

[@chessbrah]

cheers and good luck getting 1700 lil bro

Ding winning with the London and now the French.... the man's just completing World Championship side quests

Great breakdown! Let’s go Ding! ❤

[@ryanlind5239]

14:30 i was watching live and Judit Polgar found Qd4 basically instantly. It was amazing.

[@davidgardzella1797]

What a game! Both coming out of the gates swinging. Go Ding!

[@K0LETRAIN]

Incredible analysis. Thank you for explaining at such a level that it even made sense to a low elo player like myself!

[@greatdane2609]

Best analysis I've seen yet. Not sure why I'm watching them all but I am.

[@nicks22]

Great video, thanks Aman! Go Ding GO!

[@Mlyjak]

Thank you for the awesome recap!

[@samarthbagwe1736]

Gukesh Will now be more fired up

[@ralphpug08]

Nice recap, definitely following through 👍🏻👍🏻

[@travissorenson9554]

That last check by Gukesh actually threatens Qxe4 should the king have gone to h7, opening up a an attack on Ding’s queen if the pawn were to recapture. I just find it so cool that Ding had the ability to blunder even on the very last move of the game.

[@KennedyMister95]

Killer preparation by Ding, winning with the black pieces 🥶🥶

[@ShirayukiRaito]

I dont think that is the prep considering ding spend like 30 min on the move h5. Ding win because he play the middle game briliantly and outplay gukesh. In the opening for me gukesh looks more prepared he looks more confident and play instanly

[@qusigh]

King ding lesgoooo

[@Reodeoneo]

Excellent recap and analysis. Thanks!

[@andylee3114]

Thanks for explaining the ...Qd4 answer to Qxh7. What I was missing was what happens if White declines to take the Queen and instead moves his king. I don't recall other commentators mentioning ...Qxh4. (In fairness, it's possible they mentioned it and my brain didn't register what they said.)

[@13aphomet]

Go Ding!!!!!

[@33teepee]

What a game 👏 👏 👏

[@elliotmunro8115]

Ding clearly watched Hans' French masterclass

[@persiankingish]

are you guys covering all the games live over kick/Twitch?

[@bhamdeezy]

Ding clearly watched Fight Night & felt inspired to play the french. Very cool to see! So fast with the recap too, I love it! Goooo Aman! 🔥

[@giridharpavan1592]

good coverage

[@modolief]

Ding used Aman time-control technique

[@jebespolitiko]

hey, the 2nd game is closing the finish line, this is for the first game? whaaaat

[@check9094]

(Spoilers) HOLY FCK! Ding turned a terrible looking position and a 1 hour deficit on the clock into a masterclass WTF he is a god.

[@eugeneborissow]

boys where has eric been?

[@juliuslehmann5468]

Ding winning makes me so happy - underdog fantasy 💪💪

[@pradeep7479]

He was never an underdog. He is a cunning fellow just like his country.

[@A.A-z4g]

Ding Liren was studying Chess Mood confirmed

[@rcdanger]

Ding with the win 🎉

[@Sahand.nasiri]

Guess somebody watched aman's french speedrun

[@AtomicAndi]

So, you are telling me I could compete with the only bad opening I know badly?

[@Cpp_For_Life]

Let's go Ding!!!

[@RedGaming23]

I don’t like the closing music - the video is chill and makes perfect sleep playlist video and then the music blares on and scares me 😮

[@andertenis]

Shocking

[@firekid123]

game on

[@hendo1877]

King Ding 👑

[@YesPlease1]

I hope more French games from Ding 😃

[@hylen26]

Daily recaps!

[@jasonstevenson4067]

This made me realize just how much harder it is to analyze a game without the eval bar.

[@johnmarcellino5034]

Big Ding coming out STRONG because THATS OUT BOY DAWG

[@jacoblewis6616]

So Ding is just here to farm elo?

[@Xbotto]

I wouldn't say the last bishop check is irrelevant, if kh7 there was a draw

[@IcarusGravitas]

Oh shit! That's happening now?!

[@aman_axioms]

Yup! Where have you been man?

[@IcarusGravitas]

@@aman_axioms Too busy for my own good apparently!

[@randybailin4902]

Ding: "Do you know who I am?" He shocked the chess world. Hopefully he can keep it up.

[@answeris4217]

My guess is that Ding was sandbagging. He was guaranteed this match and winning is more important than showing people his true strength

[@nesthi]

🤘🤘

[@austinwheeler3665]

Nah Qd4 is gross. Can’t believe I hadn’t seen that in other recaps yet

[@Niam_Human]

MASSA BRAH Why ya'll doing Ding like dat??? There should be the clip with "The Reigning Defending CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!! ..." Take a page from the NFL Hype up anyone who's at the top. Protect the shield. Not u. but I find there's just not enough appreciation for the Ding-er.

I love Gukesh but India as a whole is getting too strong, they need to chill TF out.

[@noobchessplayer7367]

Go ding....indian community overhyping gukesh

[@gavbav]

No such thing as "overhype" for Gukesh. He is 2780+ I think he's actually pretty good.... And it wasn't just Indians hyping him up. It was the entire chess community because he's been on a tear. I support ding as well, but your comment was strange

[@samarthbagwe1736]

​@@gavbavgukesh would crush ding

[@facundodiaz6547]

There is no controversy about Magnus not playing: Magnus is not the world champion nor was he the winner of the last candidates tournament, he does not have to play this match. Magnus is a nearly retired player now.

[@jackgulley5789]

A lot of ppl think that it isn’t a true representation of a world championship if the best player in the world isn’t participating. So to say there is no controversy simply isn’t true

[@facundodiaz6547]

@@jackgulley5789 ah controversy means that many people think? ok. Magnus may be able to perform at a very high level in a tournament or two, but by giving up the title he showed that he is not capable of competing at this level (in more demanding competitions like the candidates tournament or this 14 game match against another player who is in top form) Magnus gave up the title because he is too proud to lose it on the board

[@jackgulley5789]

@@facundodiaz6547 “controversy: a prolonged public dispute or debate, usually about a matter of conflicting opinions.” So yeah, if there are a lot of people on both sides of the topic it literally is a controversy by definition regardless of your standing

[@facundodiaz6547]

@@jackgulley5789 Friend, there are 8.2 billion people in the world, there are many people who have absolutely any opinion (like the earth is flat). Many children posting things on Twitter can make it a trend, but that doesn't make it a real debate, sorry.

[@jackgulley5789]

@@facundodiaz6547 so I guess the opinions of GMs like Kasparov are the same as randoms on twitter claiming the earth is flat? what a weird equivalency to try and make…I’m not even arguing either side here I’m just pointing out that it is controversial within the chess community idk how you can deny that regardless of how you feel
