    Tbh this whole series will be pointless . Nobody will consider either winner the true world champion . They will only be champion by title until they beat magnus in a 14 game series

    It was strange, because Ian got his jacket ready like he was ready for Ding's resignation.

    It's not fair that a classical world chess championship will be decided by Rapid and Blitz games…In case of tie after classical matches, there should be extension by 1 more classical game with same time controls but with time bidding introduced and lower bid getting black and only required to draw for Win.

    what are they usually talking about right after handshake? Ive seen its almost always the case. dont they want to keep things to them self why they need/ want to have convos?

    I lose that endgame 10 times out of 10. Both with white and black

    Guys jesus christ is god in the flesh. And he died for the sins of humanity on the cross. And if you repent from your sins and accept jesus christ as your saviour you shall be saved. The lord is very near. The lord will come back very soon. Amen ❤🙏🏼🙂

    The title of this video is so misleading, runner up takes 40% of the prize money….

    Why do They keep the C.Board on the Right!? Its too small to look at! Keep the C. Board in the Middle! Please. Freeman.

    So much Cynicism in Nepo , if he gets rid of it he might become champion. No need for that !!

    This match is so frustrating for magnus to watch, he will announce he will come back to world champion contention

    the trainee needs a pay rise because of the excellent camera work during the press conference😂

    Would be nice to see a translator/ interpreter at those conferences for once. We are probably missing out on a lot of information because englisch isn't their most fluent language.

    Ребят, привет! Я русский, и хочется завтра посмотреть трансляцию на родном для нас с Яном русском языке. Жаль что тут нет ни русского, ни китайского и какая-то странная партия посередине экрана.

    Ian was very talkative today in the press conference😂

    Quién dijo que sería un Match aburrido? Grandes los dos!! Gran batalla

    So magnus still remains world champion for 1 more day.

    What a poor organizing, poor moderating – the lady asking questions is probably a good chess player but a very poor interviewer, asking stupin questions and insisting on answers even repeating them, almost an insult to both players, not showing them the well earned respect, remember, we're talking about two of the best players in the world (unfortunately without the GOAT Magnus Carlsen) and her English is poor as well.

    no homo but ding cute as hell bro, i had chinese friends in the past they are cute af XDDD

    I cringe everytime Sachdev says best player in the world as if it weren't magnus.

    I'm afraid Nepo will have upper hand in shorter time control although if he becomes impulsive then Ding will have a chance.

    Sir Nepo is a very rude person and should learn manners

    They really should get a translator for Ding.

    These press conferences are awkward enough as it is 😂

    Thanks to the 3 so knowledgeable and qualified commentators 🙂

    tough to make carlsen lose the title even if he isn't playing

    One question (probably a dumb one) Where are the players going? Is it some rule ?

    I feel like doubling ur own pawns then leaving urself with 3 pawn islands and relying on vague counterplay tks to pieces' activity was borderline irresponsible from Ding. Tks god he got away with it yet again

    Ding has proved that he has insane defense, insane stamina, and insane chess skills.

    Nepo thought he was gonna run thru Ding but Ding didnt come here to be a pushover.

    How many changes will Nepo gives Ding? Nepo might lose the rapid.

    What a championship… rapid now, im worried for ding in Blitz tho

    When they both have their hands on their heads they look like they are having a battle of psychic powers
