I heard somewhere that this sort of thing happens a lot in Shogi Tournaments. The loser has had more time to process the loss, so gets up and leaves first. The winner was in mega concentration mode up to the last second, so needs a little time just to recover from the effort of thinking so hard.
Great show! But just to be clear: fuck chess.com. I got the result of games in this match spoiled by their idiotic youtube titles, because the video showed up in my recommended. You would think a professional sports site, in progress of covering a world championship match, would show just the tiniest bit of competence in their field, by not doing something so idiotically amateurish. Honestly pathetic.
The match started at 2 am here on the west coast. I went to YouTube in the morning and before I could look for the match in the search bar I saw this at the top of my feed. Fuck me right?!
It must be conflicting being anyone at this tournament, no matter who wins it they know Magnus can just swoop in at any time and take back the title if he wanted to
Happy for Ding but he’s definitely one of the more illegitimate champs of all time. They like to judge world champ strength on how much better they are against the field or “second best” player in the world at that time and unluckily for Ding he isn’t the best at any format in chess at the time of his coronation.

As someone who doesn’t watch these a lot, what’s the guy doing moving pieces around at the end?
In basketball you get goggles so that you don’t injure yourselves popping champagne in the locker room and hosing each other down.
These guys both look fucking disgusted that they just played chess hahaha.

Can someone explain how this (from 0:48) would play out to a checkmate? They end up surrendering before the end.
When do they check for performance enhancing sex toys?

The music in the background of this clip feels incredibly familiar. Any idea why?
It’s so heartwarming to see how emotional he is. I can only imagine the relief in not having my family thrown into a concentration camp.
Btw, this has to be the most useless spoiler tag in existence.
is it just me or does he look like an asian version of Magnus Carlsen? In the face
Now he just needs to become the best player in the world

Unfortunately while Magnus is alive there will always be an asterisk next to the winner
He’s got a name like a Mandelorian
damn Nepo losing two finals in a row. I wonder if he has the strength to come back a third time.
Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!
Except that he’s not the world chess champion. Haha.

That last name could be a password. lol
Ugh so fucking happy for Dīng 🙂 Been my favorite player for a number of years now. So deserved! 恭喜恭喜,丁立人!!!
The CCP doesnt murder his puppy now….
Such unbridled joy it brought him.
I thought Ding Liren was Baby Yoda’s dad?
