Ding is the King 👑
I never comment on any video, but this is a fantastic video, Levi. The inflection in your voice with your story telling, and all in one take.. it's a joy to watch your videos my friend.
Hopefully someone makes a film about ding and starts from before the covid pandemic attacked the world. the man who holds the record of 100 undefeated streak games and the man that once known as the Magnus Cryptonites. Giving a story like "a caged dragon" during pandemic and his struggles.
And at the end it will be nice after being crowned the World Chess Champion title he flies to turin to watch juventus match.
And please dont ruin the film with a complicated lovestory. Just him, his family, friends, and the wcc team. His journey is already complicated
you crushed my soul with that eye contact
Rigged
Is there any question to the legitimacy of all those games ding played in China to qualify for the candidates?
Ding is such a legend, glad to see more content about him!
You could say ding did his thing
Respect for calling the video will be about 20-25 minutes long and hitting almost exactly 22.5 minutes. This man is an IM AND a human clock.

Oh no Gotham has new milkers to attach himself to
thought the game after li Di, would be with Ren ng…. lol
plot twist their half brothers
Chinese govt had something to do with this and you can’t tell me different’
Ding isnt better than Ian, or the goat Magnus Carlsen. He got lucky to even make it into the tournament. He wasn’t good enough to be there.
Right around the tie with Ian, Ian started throwing in ways he has never done. He wasnt nervous vs Carlsen, but nervous against the lowly Ding?
Nope I dont rate Ding. Ian is better. Ian would give Magnus better games than Ding would.
I smell Chinese govt interference and threats.
I see you Ian. I saw you throw the last few games. I know you would have beat him. And im not even a Ian fan. But I’ve been paying attention.
Ian threw and did it on purpose. At no point did Ding ever have chance until the throws.
Really enjoyed that. I think this could be a thing. Famous players and their greatest games narrated by Levy
It is a worry that the Chinese government has organised a cheating scheme in every sporting contest they have ever been involved in! It raises serious questions every time they 'win'! The Chinese seem to be so obsessed with appearing to be winners in everything they touch that they are less interested in actually being winners!?
All that drama is without even mentioning that his prep was leaked in the middle of the championship.
Honestly, this whole tale seems like the chess edition of Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Vernes. The fact that he and Phileas kept on trying even when there seemed no hope was what got them through. May this be a moral lesson for the whole world. Congrats Ding! You totally deserve it 😉
One of your best videos. You made me cry MF. Thank you ❤

Ding has anime plot armor
I love Levy
Perseverance conquers all
Ding maybe the world chess champion, but if you're looking for a best Bard of Chess, it's THE GothamChess… Hands down
"When you're rank #2 in the world for years but still considered the underdog, you know you're a choke artist." Magnum Carlos
Awesome video thanks for sharing!!
I feel so bad for Ian.😢
In China, there's a joke that all the best table sport players (snooker, ping pong, etc.) have surname Ding
Well now we have Ding Liren as World Chess Champion
Ding liren deserves a Netflix
Great vid but was actually expecting something im the lines of "THEN MAGNUS CARLSEN PROCEDEED TO SACRIFICE… THE THRONE"
After the game that Ding froze, you said in your video that if Ding could come back after frustrating failures like this, he would be the toughest man in the world. And he did, and I agree with you, he is the toughest!
Hikaru “I’m a steamer because I blew an easy world championship title “ Nakamura.
Absolutely the greatest comeback in history. And the final killer plot twist is Ding declining the draw with almost no time left on the clock. Someone really needs to make it into a movie or a series. It would be a booster shot for chess after Queen’s Gambit.
So appreciative you covered this arc. This is why I was rooting for him during the FIDE world championship. He did not disappoint. Best high stakes chess match I have ever witnessed.
Hi I'm an intermediate player if anyone wants to learn with with me can tell me and i need a partner to train
Hi Gotham! ❤❤❤
"king" liren
What an amazing story. Ding Liren is the goat.
Dingley Ran
Liren deserves heaps of praise for his journey and achievement!!
Gotham never fails to deliver. Posts more than any other content provider. Deserves his 3 mil and a front row seat. Great job.
Whats a good title for his movie?
Good Lord!
I think people keep understating how impactful Ding choosing very offbeat openings to get Ian out of his prep. All World Championship match Ian had incredible prep, while Ding would bring it back into the late middle/endgame. Ding breaking Ian’s prep earlier gave him winning opportunities several times during the World Championship.
Interesting chain of events, one might say… karma…
Russia attacks ukraine,
Karjakin's pyblic support of it led to his DQ,
Allowed Ding to enter candidates
Got 2nd but cuz magnus didnt wanna play, ding could play for championship against Ian (a russian)… and won.
Din Liren is the protagonist of a new Cold War novel. They put him there. It's all politics.
is it just me or does ding look kinda like a rabbit.
It was EPIC !!

You could've made this 2 hours long I would've watched the whole thing lmao
I still don't wanna let go of Magnus but it's impossible to deny how awesome Dings story has been.
