Ding looks happier and more balanced. He even says Gukesh is the favorite for the World Championship. Girls and boys, dont get fooled, this is a strategy as old as time. He is a smart man.
@@BhagyashriJawariya to put more undue pressure on Gukesh by making him out to be the clear favourite. A player who is more relaxed is in a better mental state than a player who is under great pressure, and thus has some advantage.
Humble world champion, not many would openly speak about their mental health issues like this. Brave and honourable man. Wish him good luck in the defence.
I am Indian and rooting for Gukesh in the WC but Ding is impossible not to like. Also I will never forget how he and Nakamura took time off from a tournament in Kolkata to visit a chess club under a congested street flyover in my part of the city.
Ding is such a sweet heart , it's unfortunate I will be rooting against him though , Obviously i will be rooting for India and D Gukesh is sweet guy as well but when he is at the board he is like James Bond, he even walks like that. May the best player wins .
I still feels he still have no fire in him after winning the world title. He seems satisfied with draws. Gukesh on the other hand is winning almost every game. He will be the favourite to win the title.
Yay Ding. We are waiting for your return. It's not easy to talk about the psychological issues openly. Hats off to Ding to come out strongly. A big shout out to you. Jaiyou !!!!
Ding is a very nice person. A top chess professional is under high pressure always and being WC increases that pressure manifold. Hope Ding is able to find his equilibrium. Gukesh is meanwhile in red hot form. We are in for a great WC match.
Man just give him a translator.. not like he can't speak english entirely but speaking in his native language will definitely boost his confidence and he would be able to express himself more.. I just want to hear more from him, such a humble guy.
I wish Ding the best, at the top level on top of dealing with the chess you also have to deal with media/drama/expectations which unfortunately i don't think Ding is naturally good at. Everyone knows his chess potential
@@dunamis8639 did i say you were my enemy? It’s just you who says that we like ding more than gukesh! Which is not true! Just because you see a Chinese who is soft spoken doesnt mean all chinese are good! Whats your problem ding fen boy😹😹😹
i actually think ding's IQ is not as high as the rest of the superGMs and the fact that he's the world champion speaks volumes to this man's dedication and integrity.
I actually think OP’s IQ is not as high as the rest of the RU-vid commenters here, and the fact that they’re able to string alphabets together into coherent words and type them out in sentences really speaks volumes to how far they’ve come overcoming their disabilities!
@@Interspirituality I'm entitled to my opinion and so are you, difference is i base my opinion on scientific observation while as you are just here to seek justification for your pathetic excuse of an existence by engaging in meaningless conversation and the belligerent mocking of others views. get a life, i won't waste more of my time with replies from you, you can keep blabbing your nonsense all you want, i've already spent too much of my breath on you, what a waste. won't happen again :).
@@elimlinrr6898Magnus is doing way better still lol, he is +2 and Ding is -1. Not to mention Magnus only drew 1 game with a 2500, he drew the other one to Parham who is 2700. How can you even compare their performances this tournament? He is playing like garbage. Look at what the other top boards like Gukesh and Fabi are doing and compare that too Ding lol
