Saw the game live. Nb2 was brilliant, a positional masterstroke by Ding Liren! Gukesh would later say that he underestimated that move. What a thrilling start to this World Chess Championship! Applauding from the Philippines! And excellent recap, Sagar!😊🙏💕👏

[@damiester1]

You're so close geographically to where they're playing. Must be the perfect time zone to watch this live!

I am glad Ding finally woke up when it mattered. This will be a legit championship fight worth watching!

excellent game..congrats DIng...GUKESH will come back stronger.

[@fatcatpatdat]

Gukesh & team believed too much in Ding's poor form. That's why he tried to win at all cost even when it was clear he was worse.

[@karthiknarayanan7484]

I have been saying this from the beginning. Many people were taking ding too easy as if gukesh will demolish him and grab the title. But i knew ding has been using this mental breakdown as a strategy and will win games. He did the same against nepo. Nevertheless there are 13 more games to go. May the best player win.

[@critical_analysis]

Chinese are very cunning people.

[@user-wy1gs3kz3t]

this editing is fantastic. really nice sped up version.

Too good

[@meerak90]

Gukesh has had a winning year, this is a reality check. I am sure he will bounce back stronger. Expecting a lot from the forthcoming matches.

[@qyl-km]

The moment Gukesh moved his bishop to g2 is already exposing the c4 weakness, of which Ding took the advantage to sneak Queen and Knight behind Gukesh's pawn chain and explode the Queen side.

[@kilzoldyck5114]

Well Ding is there for a reason. Gukesh will have to work for it. I'm rooting for Indian Chess as well but I'm a little biased for Ding ✌️

[@critical_analysis]

Ding showed the Chinese strategy.😂 show something different outside and strike back.

[@premdasyesudasan5778]

We all believe in you, SuperGM Gukesh! We know you will come back with more power. You are a fighter, and you CAN do it.👍

You missed the moment where gukesh was stunned at his blunder. You've probably edited it out.

[@morshireviews899]

I don't really know if you all agree with me , but I don't think gukesh gave his best in his first match , i mean he would have totally played differently if he was against magnus carlsen or hikaru or fabiano but the thing is he just played some passive moves thinking it won't harm him in any way and that's the reason he lost

At world championship Gukesh doesn’t have the leisure to walk around and come back. He is an individual now.

[@chandlerBinged]

Gukesh just got a taste of what it's like to play in the big leagues. lmao much needed humbling

[@MohanKumar-su6sh]

Most of them underestimated Ding , may be ding don't want to show his full potential for past one year. still 13 matches to go anything could happen, but slight edge over ding.

[@woodensurfer]

Up to recently, pre-smart clock time, time control was 40/150 mins. This is a shorter time control than previous. The quality of game will be slightly reduced.

[@janmejaypanda5414]

Gukesh was walking like he knows he will win and broadcaster will shoot his iconic walk and make promo out of it 😂😂. That's why it's very important to be humble and cautious. You can't disrespect the veterans

[@lesilluminations1]

I don't understand why Sagar said it was a surprise to see the French defence on the board when in the same sentence he added that this is exactly what Ding played against Nepo.

[@VikplaZz]

He played in 7th round ig.

[@ChessBaseIndiachannel]

Good point! Because such an opening doesn't happen too often at such a high level!

[@chinmayaprakash]

Because it often leads to passive positions for black with a greater probability of loss or draw than a black win. e5 and c5 responses to 1. e4 lead to much more solid positions with higher chances of a win for the black side at the highest level.

It'll be very difficult. Momentum with Ding.

[@Travel-with-Elbek]

Gukesh felt himself like boss but he is not in comfort really.

[@jnderroutine1861]

Gukesh's timing for f5 was no-good if he thought Qe1 for Qd3 as for showing all the weakness and almost failed(if there was Bxe6 then 100%, but still 80% or more) to use the positional advantage his time control and positional dominance was nice before that Ding's idea of Nb2 was magical but time loss+bad move must become to be a suffer after all if this kind of loss happens again Gukesh should be more discreet after this I think and always wish for two playing the best they can!

[@thenakedsingularity]

Ding is playing as if nothing happened in the last year.

[@critical_analysis]

Shows he deserves an Oscar award

[@KongGuanIsiRengginang]

Go Ding❤🎉

[@amitwadodkar7738]

Whats heartbreaking is, Gukesh convincingly lost, Ding crushed him slowly. And Ding played some really accurate moves really fast. Wow! I hope Gukesh bounces back, else its already too late. He urgently needs to take the lead.

[@maki992000]

I think Gukesh is done, he is very young and going to lose badly here, Ding played a mental game and an act leading to the championship, very bleak for Gukesh, may be today he might even lose the second game

[@hvadlamu]

he completely fooled everyone. i kind of suspected it that Ding was pretending. i think Gukesh may lose badly (hope not) since he is mentally unprepared for this version of ding..

[@thegorn]

Ding will win every game from here on in. He's been saving a whole year of prep and now he is unleashing.

[@critical_analysis]

That's why Chinese are very dangerous. They show something outside and totally different inside. Ding for Oscar for 2025😂
