    I thought these "commentators" were going to have heartattacks!

    I know this is harsh but Ding always put himself in time trouble as you can see from the candidates and most of this championship, I think he plays good when he’s under pressure, it brings the best out of him but sometimes it backfire but time is part of the game and he need to master that craft

    Off-topic, but here it goes: What is the name of the background song? Love it!

    World championship match level definitely went down after Magnus left

    Best world championship match I've ever seen

    Ding pushed himself beyond his limits, he has achieved a greater honor than the championship itself.

    This proves a "simple" board game can take your soul outside your body.

    I didn't see this part live… When I left for bed Ding was doing good… This is soooo sad 🙁 But I'm also happy for Nepo, and I think he tried to cheer Ding a little at the end there…

    To be honest this psychological breakdowns gives me terrifying chills that How much Magnus was resistant to these kind of mental pressure breakdowns, in game 6 of last WCC even magnus was down on clock but he managed to get in further time control

    Danya at the point even lost his eyes for a sec 😂 So dramatic

    This feels like drama over nothing. The guy was thinking and we can see him keeping an eye on the clock. He just had no good moves to make.

    Ding has the kind of face that makes you want to pat his head and give him a lollipop

    lol, announcers so dramatic. Love the full screen of Ding there, it would be great to see someone just also show the game and players at the board only, you could switch back and forth to diff windows.

    I was glad Magnus didn't defend the title and this match is just confirming my feelings.

    Sad, after the sublime win in the previous game- i hope he can come back well, this must have been a hammer blow.

    General of your mom, your best reptilioid says:

    Ding the Frozen One

    just make a couple of doing nothing moves and he'll be ok with the added time but the pressure is too big :(( this would be his best game if he had been able to keep playing and win

    bruh .. what is happening to naroditsky's eyes ?

    I am becoming an Anish commentary … He can make general people watch Chess

    Time trouble woes for Ding. He must overcome time pressure on remaining games, or else… the end for him.

    This game needs a second clock to limit the time walking around like an asshole or resting somewhere else for 20 fucking minutes. It's chair vs chair at this point.

    Anish Giri when Ding finally moved:
    And also a bad move 😅

    Ding played a perfect defense and collapsed when was in a winning position. Was so sad to watch this match.

    So bizarre. He had to go down fighting. Took too long in a playable position. It's gonna be impossible to recover from this self-inflicted wound. Heart-breaking. 😞

    ovethinking… hard to make a choice. happened to me alot when i was smoking weed :p

    Anish: He malfunctioned😂😂😂
    But jokes aside, it was heartbreaking to see Ding in such a position…
    And i am certain that what happened is a good learning for Ding and he will surely make sure this never happens again.
    Today is Ding's day to snatch the victory and level the score… 🔥🔥😎

    I watched game 7 live starting just before this point.
    Still can't believe it happened!
    Intense and so unreal

    Can someone explain why he was required to make 9 moves ??

    I understand why Magnus did not want to play.

    It looks like Ding forgot about rules of the match. It's a good example for every one that time matters

    Just like how Nepo broke under pressure against Magnus

    Ding is a fav of mine but China is a horrendous country Maybe a notch below N Korea
