    I think he didn’t play to avoid shame, a world champion who loses every tournament he enters doesn’t look very good.
    I feel for ding, being the world champion while not being the best must be rough.

    The quick ragebait at baseball fans was A+

    If another reigning champ doesn't want to defend their title FIDE really needs to get its act together and figure out a better format. Because this isnt working. Not just this specifically but the cheap tournaments, the weird/selective rule enforcements, its gotta get cleaned up

    seems like Fischer did the same thing ..

    Gotham is trying hard to viral his vedioes but it's not working 😂

    This game is crazier than someone who eats scented candles. The

    I hope he is not going through imposter syndrome.

    My guess is the guy know that he should not hold the title since he is not the best player. Very very strong, yes. Champion, no. Carlsen don't want the title and Ding don't want it either.

    This game happened in 2017. I was expecting some insider Chinese contact gave you a scoop on Dings whereabouts but no news. Hm…. Title of this blog?

    Totally agree, baseball isn’t a real sport

    Comparing chess to sports and calling baseball not a sport is hilarious.

    Levy, try hitting a 100 mph fastball then tell me again that”baseball is not a sport”.

    Ding isn’t down a queen, he's up a knight.

    Oooooh you drink milk coffee, its color looks delicious

    I'm making the obligatory "Baseball isn't a sport but chess is? C'mon, Levy…C'mon…".

    Bro needs to stop giving his opinion on sports and stick to the 64 squares

    People underestimate the effect of depression on Ding, which make sense as depression is always looked down upon which is quite sad

    Not trying to ya know. Brag. But the rook move was the first move I saw.

    I wonder if the Chinese Communist Party got to him.

    That was an awesome review, and a great game.

    Gotham chess is a legend not milking magnus hikaru hans cheating scandal drama etc i love he is bringing these "not repetative content" love it

    Gotta wonder who is more out of form, Ding or Alireza. And considering how poorly Alireza has performed last year, what does that mean for Ding? Imagine a (2800+) in-form Fabi playing against an out-of-form (2750+) Ding at the championship

    A player knows the rules, a true professional knows when to break them, a Gotham subscriber knows when the thumbnail is clickbait and doesn't care and still watches the video.

    Bai jinhi is correct as you say family name first.

    Maybe he felt like his title was undeserved? impostor syndrome possibly due to magnus not competing.
    he achieved his dreams and now doesn’t know what to do with himself?

    Good to hear he'll be at Tata Steel. By the way, Ding is the WC's family name, and Li Ren is the given name. Also Viswanathan is the family name of the former WC and Anand is the given name.

    There's a cool Chinese idiom related to this: 破釜沉舟 (pofuchenzhou), metaphorically meaning to cut off all means of escape in order to drive yourself toward a win. Based on a legend of a general preferring his army to break their cookware (pofu) and burn their own boats (chenzhou) to motivate themselves for a battle against the enemy.

    Liren sacrificed all nonessential material, save that needed to secure the persuasive victory over his opponent, balancing it all on a sword's edge.

    Great game, great commentary by Levy.

    Hey gotham, indian names aren't written backwards like japanese names are. Love your content. ❤

    Why are we looking at this from White's perspective ?

    In India person's name is written the same way as in America but in Japan and China a person's name written as last name first, first name is last .

    did he say baseball isn't a sport? huh Levy meant golf right

    Can you do a similar video on karjakin

    Can someone summarize what happened to Ding Liren?

    He's been mastering the bongcloud on his burner account
