    when you get a certain FIDE rating you unlock new letters in the alphabet and from Li, Di to Ding, Liren

    what u talking about bro chess is no sport and bro the best comeback in sports is FC Barcelona vs PSG

    after he froze I thought no one would be able to recover from that, but he proved it otherwise. such a great story! bro didnt even mention leaked games;

    na the best xomeback stoey in hiatory in DRX winning the world of leagie of legend 2022

    It's the "both players keep missing opportunities" that make this WC match not as credible for me. It's a great story an everything, but in so many games it came down to a player having the advantage, then both players missing winning opportunities and then someone just managed to win or draw. It isn't as impressive as what you'd expect from the best chess players. You've been edging the advantage your way for 30-40 moves and you can't find the final move to win?? Come on…

    You are the best sports story teller in the world, really

    if I was Ian and lost in the tie breaks I would be mad cuz this is the first time ding ever led. respect to ding

    russian operations? It's called invasion. Russian invasion of Ukraine. Never took you as a war apologist. @GothamChess

    Ding is a beast that never surrenders. For me it's one of the best chess players ever.

    Somewhere down the line someone better make a movie on Ding’s journey to the world championship 2023. It’s definitely one of those inspirational movie plot journeys!

    I remember I first heard of ding in the candidates that was split because of Covid and he was doing so poorly then

    0:35 You only say this because you have the comfortable innocence of not being an avid Pakistan Cricket supporter. Man the heartbreaks and comebacks that we experience. We go through the Ding Liren story almost every other global tournament. It would be right to call the Ding Championship story the Pakistan Arc actually 😂

    We need a big budget movie version of this, now

    Thank you for making this video. Ding Liren had everything stacked against him. And yet, in that final game, he made a bold courageous decision to refuse a draw to play for a win (or loss). Here, now! He drew his line in the sand for destiny's sake and was rewarded, against all odds, with the World Championship Title!

    I admire Magnus, and I think he may well be the GOAT. However, him stepping away from defending his title is undoubtedly good for chess. This was one of the most magnificent World Championship battles in living memory. Both Ding and Nepo were deserving world champions but only one could win.

    If you know Dota2, Dings run was like OG's first TI run.

    Thanks to GothamChess I have improved considerably in chess. I am at 650 elo and usually I play pretty fine moves but I just had a game with 100% accuracy which seems unreal. It's the power of learning!

    To be honest I called it from the beginning. They literally had him play 30 people 2-4 hundred points lower rated than him to get him in. And then because no one knew he would play his exact same stuff he came in second. And all he had to do was beat Ian which was just a waiting game. Because Ian melts against everyone everytime. This Title has a bigger asterisk than when Kasparov and Karpov were both champion at the same time.

    Yo Gotham I hope you see this comment because I just played a game and I had a brilliant move but I'm not sure how to give it to you. Do you have a discord server of some kind? btw it's your favourite piece

    Levy, what the hell are you talking about? "Operation"? They are killing civilian people!!!

    The details make it even more amazing, like Ding's freeze in game 7. This could easily be a 90-minute documentary.

    Messi winning 2022 WC and then Ding here winning in chess. Looks like universe here got hell of a story-line brewed here for us.

    The bisggest comeback in sports is Liverpool 4:0 Barcelona men

    Thanks Levy for your compelling reminder of Ding's extraordinary achievement through advertisy. Absolutely Hollywood stuff and a great role model! Another barrier you mentioned in a video at the time was there wasn't a venue or a sponsor for the World Championship match until very late on–at one stage there were 80 days to go yet it looked like Ding wasn't even going to face Ian!

    "Unless Cagnus Marlsen doesn't defend the throne"

    West talks about equality and free speech. And then bans anyone and everyone who opposes them.

    First video of Gotham that I watched till the end and IT IS AMAZING

    This is not the russian operation, this is russian invasion in Ukraine.

    It needs the silver screen, this journey 😨

    He did get lucky, no one can deny that. But it doesn't take away from the fact that he was persistent, and kept pushing through, even when all the odds where against him. And because of those two factors, he was able to become a world chess champion and bring honor to his name

    That's cool, but can u upload videos on the Phillidor?

    I don't care if you fear algorythm, or about wrath of russian viewers, you should have a balls to call war a war. I know that you are only chess youtuber, but your kremlin approved language is a bit disgusting.

    Now we need truth about Nepo. Because Ding gets all the laurels, but Nepo gets only ridicule and bullying despite the fact that he is one of the strongest and brightest chess players of our time.

    2:17 Why are you so scared of just using the expression "Russia's war against Ukraine" or anything else like that. No need to sugarcoat. You almost seem pro-russian war agression yourself when you use the same expressions that they use… ffs, Russian "operations in Ukraine". How about just straight up saying "Russia's war of aggression".

    Ding is insignificant in a world where Magnus is still active.

    I just learnt that Liren doesn't pronounce his name as you say it. Since you take great pride in this, can you check it?
