Her games and her interviews are always entertaining

[@paldr-chess]

She's so awesome. Put a smile on my face.

[@Insight_Outlook]

As charming as she is talented!

[@marcocroci3504]

If she win, the candidate, I'm sure, became the new world chess championess. Against tan, ju win, against lei, this time lose.

[@mudin1411]

Tata Steel. but their last WC was very close, went over to tiebreaks if I'm not mistaken

[@marcocroci3504]

If tan win candidates, Will be defeat by ju.Ju Is too strong for tan zhonghy. For the man,support gukesh .Gory, not a championess,over pressure make mistake.She never became wcc.

[@k3n10]

[@raskreia8326]

She is so fun😂.

[@shangao5028]

Why all the shopping questions lol

[@nileshw1368]

100th like ! 👍😀

[@ambarishsridharanarayanan1035]

Why does the interviewer make the interview so formal by addressing the player by her family name?

[@AlejandroPikoulasPlata]

Lei seems a first name in Western languages, anyway the interview wants to show respect calling her by surname.

[@ambarishsridharanarayanan1035]

The interviewer "showing respect" for Chinese players alone is some weird stereotyping. Your other theory of ignorance seems more plausible; I just wish FIDE would hire more world-aware and less White-centric interviewers. Or at least train them better!

[@ooppww1923]

And with Indian they asked questions like does player help each other and so on As if they are intensionally loosing

[@babyitsnatural]

I need to know is she single 🥰

[@magali6799]

She's not :) Her partner is one of her seconds.

[@JuanPablo-bn1ls]

She’s a lesbian?

[@yanyeetan1727]

I believe Lei is married to GM Raymong Song, Taiwan's No. 1 player

[@speed999-uj5kr]

She's sho sho cute 🥺🥺🥺🥰 i want her to marry GUKESH ♥️ OMG 😢 why am I crying 😭❤🥺🥰

[@Smallpriest]

Huh why Gukesh?

[@MohitSharma-vv2ic]

she is married and Gukesh is 17. please do some research or think for a second before commenting

[@Yoman911nine]

huh?

[@youknowwhatsreallysofunny]

Weirdo.

[@shangao5028]

This comment is so random I love it

[@sean919191]

Interviewer is hot and seems smart but her questions are so incredibly basic. Do better

[@ravaljigar7354]
