When Ding Liren Froze in The World Championship 

this china kid? xD

@@3KPAIN he’s more famous than you’ll ever be

We said the same for Ian after game 6 of his magnus match tbf. The two of them are unbreakable at this point

@@3KPAINnot even that, he is a better person than you'll ever be

@@3KPAIN WTF is with these racists lol.

I thought the same thing. Anish understood exactly what happened. And, we don't see it in this clip, but after the game, when Daniel started to make the summary of the game, Anish stopped him quickly stating that the moves that had been played had nothing to do with the result and were then irrelevant. I also thought that it was really a classy reaction.

@@Myst2202 Thats a man who understands the pressure

We all he is better ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ScW1yH0z3CU.html

ye, anish was so professional. He understand pressure, anxiety and other stuff

@@Myst2202 Ty for sharing that. That is super classy and respectable from Anish.

I wouldn’t say ‘almost’ Nepo held the better chances (and the time advantage) throughout the game

​@@ifbfmto9338 black was better in that position though

@@abhinavk0929 Better but not winning, and black needed to be very precise to even have a chance to convert the advantage.

​@@ifbfmto9338 in the exact position he frozen in the initiative had gone to black and Ding had a similar time as nepo

@@Ninjamagics ? Nepo had more time than Ding, secondly the highest centipawn advantage black got in the game was about 0.7 There’s a large difference between 0.7 advantage (that required extremely accurate play to maintain) versus ‘almost winning’

I feel really bad for him because he came out and never made an excuse but more so shared pride that he is able to play under the lights and cameras whereas before he couldn’t The guy is trying his absolute best and we know he’s better than this. I just hope he understands he’s damn good and can beat anybody. This is where getting Rapport was genius Not only has he seen everything and is a very chill guy but sometimes all you need is a little peptalk

Technically I think he stopped the clock and shook hands before his time ran out. But plenty of losses in W CH were because of bad time trouble. Increment is recent invention and in old times it did not exist at all. Actually it is pretty good that playing without increment at least for first several hours is back. Result of chessgame was always about 1 ) position on board 2 ) time management Both factors are equally important and both players can use same amount of time

He did not flag.

@@thesnackbandit Technically no. But with 6 moves left and 3 seconds on the clock what do you think would have happened next. Read between the lines. He probably only resigned to save him from the embarrasment of getting flagged.

@@cihanbaran5738 It is more accurate to say that he knew he had screwed up so he let his time run that low. It's not like he was actually blitzing out moves and flagged. And at that point, he still had 45s to make 5-6 moves, which is obviously easily possible (albeit with subpar moves). That time spent was simply to come to terms with the game and resign. Think Gukesh - Nodierbek at the chess olympiad.

@@thesnackbandit letting time run low=he was getting flagged. It does not matter if you are blitzing out moves and you suddenly realize that your time went out. He froze and at the end he realized he was going to lose by time and he just resigned. If he would have gone on for 1-2 more moves he would be flagged.

It would be awesome!! Go Ding!!!

😂😂

I hope he wins but it’s really difficult.

One of the most exciting but not greatest. This would not have happend to Carlsen or Kasparov.

He is back guys 6-6

We all he is better ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ScW1yH0z3CU.html

He said he feels uncomfortable about the time control. Anyway, looks like sometimes chess is not about the figures on the board.

Bobby Fischer talked about how much confidence played a role in chess. He’s not the only one of course but it really does start getting into your head.

Very enlightening insight, you seem to be a very very experienced tournament player

The problem is he misevaluated the position

Honestly when he got to the 1:30 minute mark he should've just said fuck it and looked at the entire board and made a move off instinct but then again I am not GM lol

@@Kodaira023 You can call that misevaluated. Sometimes you are just unlucky as you choose to look at several lines that looked promising but after spending minutes realize they are not. If you had picked the best one off the start, you would have saved a lot of time, most of the time that's what GM do, but they look at alternative line just to test proof the one they saw. Sometimes you are just unlucky, especially in a complicated position.

​@@LtKregorov If I remember correctly, in the post-game interview he said that he didn't see any good solutions, basically after Rd1+, he didn't have a solid response to Ian's response, same with other moves Really unfortunate

Both great players giving ud an absolute show

Why?

This is a comical world championship. First, Magnus decides to just not defend his title. Now, these two are putting on a comedy show.

@@eufrosniad994Magnus is a poker player right now.

@@eufrosniad994 Thank you fellow Stockfish cheater for your humble opinion

Yeah exactly not sure why everyone is getting emotional in comments. Was basically losing hikaru said same thing. Especially after sacrificing his pawn then blundering another pawn he pretty much knew and was looking for tricks

It is weird. Black has control of the open file. active queen and bishop cover most square. White rook is passive and stuck on protecting the pawn. Not sure how Ding see it as losing position for black.

@Homelander the second pawn wasn't a blunder it was a sacrifice to open up the white king.

@@revanth2628 Not the pawn on wall the one where queen took and he didn’t have the correct line after. He just moved the rook twice and didn’t check king

It’s also a personality type. I don’t think Bobby Fischer would have thought the position was lost because he was a very very confident player I think the only thing holding back Ding is his confidence. I think you over analyze because he believes his opponent must have something better planned And of course you can’t sleep on Nepo or any GM but I don’t think he’s giving himself enough credit

That's what I am saying . Bro I would hard support him for Game 8 so that he mentally gets stable again

Na he’ll bounce back and be stronger than ever!

It might affect him for the rest of his life.

We all he is better ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ScW1yH0z3CU.html

ding should try to draw the next game... stop the bleeding and recover

microprocesor from china

lol. you must be delusional if you think he will come back. Meltdown like this takes months if not years to get through. Nepo will become the World Champion.

@@maxmustermann-lr5xo idk if you play chess or not but these breakdowns are decently common in classical games, you know your winning but you can’t find the best winning moves and so you just keep thinking and thinking then you see the clock and it’s pressure just makes you keep losing your train of thought. So no he won’t be broken from this, but he will be very disappointed

@@maxmustermann-lr5xo we'll see

​@@maxmustermann-lr5xo you sound pretty confident for a guy who has no clue what he's talking about

Hikaru also says "Well, I'm losing here, but I will try to flag this guy"

King g7 or raise a corner pawn is not that bad as a waiting move, but only when watching live we understand the mentality break from Ding. Feeling bad for him.

We all he is better ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ScW1yH0z3CU.html

hikaru is literally dead even in speed chess with magnus and sometimes better.

He says that mostly in the opening phase or early middlegame. He doesn't say that in a sharp position where it's easy to make a mistake and lose the game immediately, let alone in a WC match

haha great notice!

He did that like 3 times wtf

spooks HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH nice catch

haha i saw it

lmao his eyes

This is exactly it. Knowing you can actually win, that it’s all really achievable, it makes it all the more brutal

Yeah, honestly this psychological battle is going to be tougher than him beating Nepo(which I believe he could do with ease)

@@NationalSportsEntertainmentNSE don't forget that Nepos main issues are psychological too :)

Maybe but this is chess, self belief means nothing if you make the best moves, which for the most part he does

@@joelmacinnes2391 do you watch chess streams? self believe means everything, since to win you need to risk and to DO NOT make the best moves. And noone makes the best moves all the time.

Indeed and that douche samurai hair cut was also ruining Nepo's chess.

​@@caiocesar8410its called a man bun lmao

They're playing chess--no lives on line here!

The winner gets 60% of 2 million dollar. The runner-up gets 40%. So it's either 800.000 or 1.2 million. I would politely disagree they are putting their life on the line.

@@l.d.t.6327 if you think becoming world champion is just about earning some money then your view on life is quite shallow

@@shady21377 did I say that? I didn't think so. So stfu.

They are literally just moving some wooden pieces over a wooden board. It is a game. Chill out buddy

It's from finding the best moves on the chessboard. ;)

A tic maybe?

Is this some condition or just normal?

ahegao

That reminded me of language simp

Hes not a genius lol im smarter than him😊

Same here.

@@bobbyjonas2323m sorry buddy even if we havent seen other skill from him other than chess a chinese guy has 90% probabily from being better at everything than a american (if you is american this is a guess but unless you is from india or united kingdon it wouldnt matter that much)

@@flacsomtodosclas2165 One of my core interests/hobbies is science. More specifically astrophysics, astronomy, the nature of our universe etc. I just absolutely love to have my mind blown trying to wrap my brain around borderline incomprehensible dynamics of the universe. However, only now am I left ultimately perplexed by how a comment that was edited, can still contain such a high yield of autistic expression.

@@rileylolwing6550 ty i apreciate it i do my best to go beyond the lines of stupidity and human reasoning

Dude, am I the only one tripping over Danya’s crazy eyes??? Lol had to rewatch a few times

@@bits_for_bytes I saw that too LOL

I think is more than nervousness, something broke inside him in that moment. I don't think he slept well since the WCC started and adding all the pressure, the intense 4-6 hours games and all the studying and prep they do... Hope he comes back fresh for match 8, i am rooting for Ding🙏

weird question but are u from Montpellier in France? I lived there and there was a Mall called Antigone haha

he aint coming back from this. Its game over.

Lol that's what everyone said after his first loss and after the second. Just stop talking like if you knew everything and wait for the next games to see how it unfolds :)

@@gp2776 w

I am supporting Ding, I don't like Nepo, but as far as we see at chess tournments when this happens to a player, he doesn't come back. I hope for a miracle for Ding's game.

@@caiocesar8410 Everyone said the match was over after the first loss for the same reason. Then he came back. Then everyone said the match was over after the second loss. Then he came back. I don't say he will necessarily come back this time. But we should wait a little more before sealing his fate. Maybe the match would be already done if that was against Magnus. But Nepo showed two times he is not 100% able to keep his lead. Both players are under lots of pressure (the match itself, questioning themselves if the crown is a real one, etc.). I'm not necessarily supporting one of them. I just think it is weird to say he is doomed when the same scenario already happened two times. We should just wait the next game imo. Let's learn from our mistakes and not repeat them that early :P

Nepo thinks he dio

There was more to it than "time management" - he was really struggling in the middle game after Nf6 to not get checkmated so had to burn a lot of energy and time to sort those issues out, and then he just hit the wall from exhaustion.
