The moment Ding Liren became World Chess Champion 

You can see their emotions, they both knocked over some pieces, Nepo knocked a piece off the table in devastation and Ding knocked a piece over not believing he just won. Amazing stuff

That entire behavior from Nepo when it all came through his mind he lost looked like a man truly devastated. That passion in that single moment was something i might remember for a long time

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="581">9:41</a> The way Ian pushed the pieces off the table, you can see all the emotions he's going through, damn I feel bad for him.

I dont know how i feel during the last minute. Nepo is really a goodman. And seeing a goodman losing is very frustrating. But Ding is also a goodman and seeing him with the thropy is very satisfying.

Ding is one of the sweetest humans alive and I'm so happy he pushed through. Ian did very well too and I'd give him a WCC title too if I could; gl to the both of them in future endeavors

That desperation and powerlessness is devastating. And for Ding this is one of the greatest stories of triumph I’ve ever seen.

I love the beginning, Tania and Fabi, "Rg6 is not a move"..."Rg6 looks like a losing move".... 🤣😂🤣 Ding plays Rg6.

That was like end of a long war. One king is so tired cant even celebrate. The other was so anxious and devastated when he figured he cant defend the castle anymore. Fascinating.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="577">09:37</a> the way he looked at the trophy 😢

This is the most intense, raw emotion I have ever seen from 2 people just sitting across from each other. Even when Ding won, there is no celebration for he is purely stunned, his mind ravaged.

Congrats to Ding! First Chinese to win the world chess championship is crazy feat to accomplish

The moment he knows it’s over when all the captured pieces end up on the floor is heartbreaking!

“Self-pinning for immortality”

When Ian was staring at the camera, it wasn’t the camera he was staring at, it was the trophy for the championship. This was prolly his biggest chance to win it and he just stared at it cause it still wasn’t his kinda heartbreaking

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="570">9:30</a> Ding feels sorry to have to win.

These last ten minutes of the championship games can't be described in words. After watching most of the games it felt wild to see it go down like this. Thinking about the journey Nepo and Ding has been through to get to that moment I kinda understand the extreme emotional reactions.

One Ding to rule them all -Someone cool

He lost against Carlsen but got another chance against someone who is not Carlsen but still lost. That must be devastating...

That self pinning though to avoid checks brilliant

Ding probably glanced at his two passed pawns one too many times, just enough to inspire such a brave decision to 'go for it' rather than accept the repetition with a nobody wins result of a draw. What a surprise and amazing chess game, easily one of the greatest World Championship Chess games ever played! How entertaining and fun to watch! Great play by Nepo and Nepo has nothing to prove (similar to Magnus) as he has competed for World Chess Champion twice all ready! Wow! ..Congrats to Ding Liren, our new World Chess Champion! What a brave winning soul!

Ian losing absolutely broke my heart even though through the entire series my heart said Ding 💔 I am torn between the two and pray they play again while Magnoos waits in his lair until the true champion emerges 😤

Damn the emotions were so big here. Epic game. Great championship.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="577">9:37</a> The moment of truth hit hard

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="577">9:37</a> this look said it all...

wow watching nepo shaking was heart breaking. amazing chess from both players both fought hard

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="611">10:11</a> reminds me of Socrates statue 'the thinker', perhaps 'the winner' that one shot sums up the whole tournament, amazing!

You can just feel the pressure they are under. I feel stressed whatching these guys at the end

Couldn't have been more emotional ending than this. 😢

Just watching Ian process it all, knowing he was going to lose, gave me major secondary anxiety.

Ding may have shown moments of emotional vulnerability, but his mental fortitude is truly exceptional. Despite a challenging start in the candidates' tournament, he managed to turn the tide. At one point, even Caruana suggested it was primarily a contest between Nepo and himself, yet Ding's unyielding determination propelled him back into the race. Even when Nakamura appeared to be the likely contender for the second-place finish on the final day, Ding persisted. Nakamura's unexpected blunder in a potentially draw-worthy position became a turning point. Ding's journey to the World Championship match itself is a testament to his unwavering resolve. He continued to grind through the game when many, including his opponent, had seemingly moved on. It's hard to find a more fitting term than 'iron-will' to describe his ability to persevere against the odds.

You can tell Ding came here to win and was not going for a draw with Rg6. He probably figured that he has a lot of winning chances with the passed pawns

Commentators: "Nooo! You can't play Rg6!" King Liren: "Observe."

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="16">0:16</a> You can see Ian’s eyes widen. He also was pretty surprised.

they're not on a level of dings mastery of calculation.. thats why they assume its going to blitz lol.. ding be like nah i'm up material kids.. 😁

Tania was the announcer during Magnus becoming WC too

I didn't know who to cheer for. Both so awesome. Great matches!

Respect to Nepo for being respectful to Ding and letting him have his moment

Who put the fallen pieces back to the table again? Fiyuh, the way those black pieces got swept over by Ian is the most dramatic moment. Felt like watching a convict slump to the ground after being shot in an execution.

We have had the pleasure of witnessing ione of the greatest world championships ever! it is a huge credit to both players, although it may take Ian some time to see that.

Not really knowing either of them it seemed like Nepo was going to dominate in blitz but Ding pulling it off makes my heart so much more happy ❤

Happy for Ding, even more happy after knowing is a huge Juvenyus squad supporter !

no one will talk that Ding made handshake 2 times ?

It's over, Ian! I have the high ground!

Chinese guy very respectful by not celebrate over the board ❤

Congrats King Liren🙏

They both look completely exhausted.

amazing!! congrats Ding!

Congratulations to Ding Liren on becoming the New World Chess Champion!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Chess speaks for itself. 🥃

DING IS FINALLY CHILLING

Ding as a person felt bad for Ian first and then he synced in to what he achieved.

Congratulations for ding's first FIDE World Championship!!!

I can feel the pressure

Dos tipos grandes!!! Enorme Nepo!!! Enorme Ding Liren!!!

The first time I cheered for both players playing the WCC. I rooted for Nepo after the devastating loss against Magnus but you can never hate Ding playing the best games of his career. If only they can both win.

Its really heartbreaking seeing ian 😭😭

Ian's body language give me the pure anxiety and stress

‘This is not the tactical chess we know, this is a mental capability test’

Ding will be a good champion..

Wow that internal crumbling by Ian was devastating to watch.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="240">4:00</a> I wanna see an alternate ending of this video where Ian flips the board over to stop the match

I like how Ding says a big NO to settling for a draw and went balls deep for the win. So much more exciting and satisfying way to be crowned world champion. This one will go down in history as one of the most amazing plot twists ever! 🤘🏻😎

Notification for this video spoiled the result.

A great fight among two masters

Now we wait 1 year for magnus to take it back

This sport is the most violent of all.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="14">0:14</a> Ding transforming into his final getsuga tenshou with R-g6.

Anybody else laughing at the live comments on the bottom?? 😂

There was a point in the match where Ding declined the draw, and he won

accurate calculation from ding

probbaly the best plot twist in chess

DING!!!!!

That’s lady she doesn’t wants to stop talking

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="610">10:10</a> Nepo regrets throwing the bottle on the floor

Never have I ever seen such an exuberant champion!! The scream, the winning dance, the parading... Did he really have to shove it down so hard on poor Nepo?!?!

Just wow

Oh my gosh, I am so excited to hear that Ding Liren won the World Chess Championship! He's such an amazing player and he's worked so hard for this. It's really inspiring to see someone achieve such a big goal like this, and I'm sure it will motivate other players to keep working hard too. Congratulations to Ding Liren on this huge accomplishment, he really deserves it!"

One Won everything and now has nothing but an empty void, the other one lost the only thing filling this void.

I can feel Ian's heartbreak, I'm quite certain he just wants to punch or smash something (Not Ding of course, I'm sure Ian won't go that far) when he knocked over the pieces. It's that frustration and hopelessness of not being able to do anything anymore.

At 7.08 Nepo only has 4 seconds on the clock - crazy!!

Ding said, “Hold my beer.”

there can only be one left

Ding Is this geometric strategy a real conductor !!!

Nepo let us slip away in the regular rounds. Like two drunk guys fighting in an icy parking lot

Self pinning for immortality ❤❤

Ding was economical in his wins! he won only, and every time, it mattered!

After many many years it finally happened, the best chess player in the world is no longer the world chess champion.

Did Nepo about to throw that Black cup or whatever it was? i kinda feel his emotion. gosh.

Tania: Rg6 looks like a losing move rather than a winning attempt. Ding: Be quiet peasants !!!!

Even the commentaors could not analysis what was happening. The computer said they were even and the comintators could not figure how to get the draw. Fun and exciting end game.

bro blundered his carrier

Ding Liren wasn't overwhelmed by emotions because he won. He was overwhelmed because he knows he'll have to defend the title against Carlsen.

Nepo always falls from f4 square

I know Ding cannot hold his place for long, but China finally make an absolute chess ruler in chess history when both male and female become World Chess Champion

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="542">9:02</a> the engine listened to Fabiano

please put slow motion

Nepo tried to dominate ding in whole tournament but ding is a super hero who overtake nepo by confusing his brain feeding tactics and won .

ding pro

Ding vs Magnus confirmed

This is like that Simpsons episode where Lisa is Salieri and Nelson appears at the end as Beethoven.
