Dude, that letter from Wei Yi brought tears to my eyes. I've only played chess a couple of times casually, so had to do a bit of pausing and rewinding, but the way this was directed really hooked me in. FlameIsLucky really knows how to build up and hit those emotional payoffs; came for the melee doco, and stayed for the awesome storytelling. Keep up the great work!!! Don't let the algorithim grind you down!!!
This was fucking astounding. As someone who essentially only follows chess through your videos, I didn’t know anything about the result or the history. You did such a good job building the background and the narrative and I was at the edge of my seat in the last 10 or 20 mins. Keep up the incredible work
I don't think I've seen a documentary on youtube that has a emotional narrative as good at this one. Probably one of my favourite videos on youtube, period.
Fantastic documentary. People sleep on ding and write him off because he never beat magnus to become world champion, but he truly is one of the best to ever do it. What a story
@xEric1993 Agreed. I have multiple games of Ding's saved in my inspiration folder, he's played some beautiful sequences. Plus, his personality and humility are a breath of fresh air in the professional chess scene
people are writing him off more than ever now because he’s been struggling with his health. it’s going to be difficult for king ding to beat the young and healthier gukesh, but I think we all know how incredible and resilient ding is.
Thank you for putting this up! It's easily one of the greatest sporting stories that I've been struggling to share with friends outside of the chess world. This was beautifully made!
I cant express enough how thankful i am for you making this video. As a chess fan and ding supporter, thank you. This video made me cry multiple times from different parts of the video. This video gave me a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you. Thank you
Glad you didn’t mention that last tournament where he lost every single one of his games 😅 albeit it was Fischer random but still.. something looked really off about him
@@vharmi.my man got taste and is talented af. why is he so damn underrated😭 i would support him with a lil money tbh but am kinda broke atm and just grateful to see his content for free
I'm a bit surprised you didn't touch on the backlash during Ding's month of rated games leading up to the candidates. Of course there is still argument about how ethical the super promotion of players through forced tournaments is, particularly after this last candidate's season, but regardless of your view it was pretty...heated at the time. It's been done for tons of players, and Ding had better reasons than most for needing it, and there was definitely a tinge of xenophobia towards China for why it caught so much attention, but it was there.
I subbed to this channel because of the skateboarding doc on Yuto Horigome. But man, your uploads are all so well researched and entertaining. Keep going, I'll be proud to say I was here when the channel was under 10k subs
This is the best chess documentary I've seen. The editing, pacing and emotional pull, of a usually logic driven / dense game as chess. The alphago movie for chess. Thank you for the work you put into this
This is amazing content. Thank you so much for making this. I found it really emotional and the quality is S tier. The channel is probably the best of its kind.
Please never change the quality of your videos. There are fantastic, some of the best on YT. No qualifiers needed. Audio levels, short pauses, timing between cuts, quality of information, artistic touch. Everything of great quality. You will deserve the eventual YT pop off that's coming
1:29:02 - 1:29:18 when you're near the end of an anime and the episode name is suddenly the name of the show itself, you know it's about to get real (The choice of music around this point gives me major "Goku unlocking ultra instinct after being pushed behind his limits" vibes)
Getting called out for a burner account you created to test a line, by a reporter with inside knowledge, at the most crucial point in the whole match, had to sting a little. What a silly way for technology to bite someone on the foot. Just no honor.
Man this video was amazing. I feel like you should have a better thumbnail and title in the future though. I think it would get more attention if the contents of the video was more clear before watching it. Overall, huge fan of all your videos. keep it up!
I’ve watched this video several times now. I take something different from it every time I watch. Keep making great stuff. You make me want to make documentaries too!
wow, nice job to get this al together. seems yourself loving chess? btw. my personal fav chess player is indeed raport since this legandary draw against mamedyarov ;)
Hey man love your stuff. Quick critique as a viewer though, this title and thumbnail didn’t jump out to me. Idk why. Might be easier to catch new viewers with a change. Amazing video, I cried
So this documentary is one of the most entertaining documentaries I've ever watched. I think this video has a title problem, and it is definitely a thumbnail problem. The title doesn't draw new people in. The thumbnail looks like a garbage mobile game. You started out the video with a Chinese guy talking. There's stupid people who probably think the video is in Chinese. This video should have gotten so many more views. The quality is amazing. Maybe the magnus's name gets a lot more views than ding lirens gets. I didn't even pay attention to the world championship because magnus wasn't in it. I'm glad I watched this video. Please keep making more videos.
12:38 I'm fairly sure Alekhine didn't visit China in 1993 (due to him being slightly deceased). Did you mean 1939? Edit: aha, 1933, and it was a simul. That makes more sense.
It's a bit sad that this super epic and unlikely storyline actually happened and now Ding struggles to find his form in recent tournaments. Since he said he maybe would've stopped playing chess when he lost, I believe it would have been better for him if he stopped at the peak of his career. Obviously it would be strange if 2 times in a row the current world champion just doesn't participate anymore, but seeing Ding struggle is sad. Great documentary though!
Great documentary, really well structured. One note is that you seem to have a very wide vocabulary of words whose meaning you don't know. The repeated misuse of words like retort, retaliate, painstaking etc. is very distracting, and it would increase the quality of your videos a lot if you were to keep a dictionary at hand while writing the scripts.
Easily one of the best RUclips videos I have ever seen. Every so often, reality truly is more compelling than even the best fiction. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story!
Amazing, stellar documentary! I already knew every aspect of the story and yet, I cried multiple times watching it. The narrative is so well put together, please never stop making these!!! You are a legendarily underrated content creator
4:20 Not the point of your video, but the probability analysis at this point in the video is incorrect. The order in which the lots are drawn does not matter. The first to draw has a 2/3 odds of drawing a winning pawn. The second player has a 2/3 chance that there is 1 white and 1 black pawn left (with a 1/2 chance of drawing a good pawn in this situation), and a 1/3 chance that there are 2 white pawns left (with a 100% chance of drawing a good pawn). Adding it all up, it works out to a 2/3 chance of drawing a white pawn. Putting it all together, the final player has a 1/3 chance that the final pawn ends up being black, and a 2/3 chance that the final pawn is white. All players are equal.
This was was incredible. As someone who knows sweet FA about chess you made it so people like me can still enjoy this incredible piece of history!! Thank you 😁
In my whole life, I have only cried because of sadness, anger and distraught. But today I cried tears of joy, I don't know why, I have given up chess awhile ago and don't even play it anymore but this genuinely made me emotional. Thank you for this video and keep up the good work man.
Absolutely Fantastic I would love for you to make a Video on Gukesh as well after the Championship ! Regardless of the result of that match my love for Ding has increased 10 folds.
Alexander Alekhine [did not] visit the country of China in 1993. He was actually dead at that time (b. 1892 - d. 1946). Alekhine did visit China in 1933 and was one of the first great chess players to do so. If the Chinese player was Xie Jun (7th Women's World Chess Champion, in 1991.) who faced off with former World Chess Champion, the Russian Vasily Smyslov with the black pieces in an event in Vienna, Austria, the outcome of this game was a draw and the game occurred in 1993.
Holy shit! I just saw this on my feed and I was wondering why I knew the voice. Then I saw the video you made about Magnus comeback on your channel. Please continue doing these videos! They are the greatest chess documentary on RUclips and that isn’t exaggerated! Love it ❤
the most beautifully made documentary of a chess player, detailed information and explaination on some concepts that ordinary chess players might not understand clearly. i am giving you your flowers man💐💐 cant wait to see you do more documentaries on the past World champions too
Thank you for bringing this beautiful story to my attention! This was absolutely wonderful. This video might have just mad Ding my favorite chess player.
I'm a chess fan and I wanted to thank you for these two documentaries you made about chess. Not only have you been precise and meticulous in your work, the attention to detail is evident, but most important of all you have managed to render well what really makes chess great: the human factor. These documentaries are not only about chess but also about life and what it means to be human. Great work, thank you. You have talent and dedication for the craft, never give up on them!
You make some incredibly good videos! I got to the end of this one before realizing you also made the Mang0, aMSa, and Magnus documentaries. I had also checked out the 100 Gecs documentary, a musical duo I had never heard of but got the video recommended to me likely after watching your aMSa doc. Despite not knowing 100 Gecs I still watched the entire video. Not because I was fond of their music, but because you had done such a great job. Keep up the great work! It's refreshing to see such high quality long-form content on RUclips from a new creator in an age where it feels as if the platform is shifting to much lower effort short-form content.
Watched the snowboarding one that led me to this. I couldn't care less about snowboard racing. I like chess but could never follow pro chess to understand significance enough to enjoy. Both of these on topics I care little about have had me riveted and completely engaged (I didn't even watch either of them at 2x speed). Not sure if this is because I knew nothing of the outcomes but even so, superb documentary-making.
12:45 this seems IMPOSSIBLE. Alekhine plays against the best players and therefore have a good strategy. One guy playing chess alone cannot make a draw against the best player or he must train with other good players...Alekhine going to china is never mentionned in his biography... It seems more like a legend
I love chess documentary videos and yours certainly shine with your meticilous research and excellent story telling, thanks for this gem of a video! I do have a request: when searching for a song you used starting at 27:25 I looked at your linked file and holy moly you used an incredible amount of great music! However, since they don't have a timestamp, I can't tell which one is it. If you can, can you timestamp the first instance of that song being used? Thanks!
1:14:37 No Ian didn't know that, and he admitten as much right after the game. You make awesome documentaries, but you get so many details wrong that are easy to check, that it's a little frustrating :(
I wonder about the world championship as the place to end the story... because what seems at first like an uplifting story of triumph against the odds looks very different today, as he has barely played since he won, and his performance has been pretty when he does play. Today he is down to 5th highest rated player in the world, and I'd expect him to not be favored in his title defense against whoever wins the candidates. You also talk about how ding miraculously manages to play enough rated games to make it to the candidates, but don't mention the huge controversy about them. So much that FIDE changed the rules afterwards to avoid what appeared to be a federation just handing a player the wins they needed to get to the tournament. Some of the best performance of his life, or straight out match fixing?
Have had compiling stress from a big life decision this year, somehow my love of RUclips documentaries kind of faded and browsing the app was joyless. Thank you for rekindling my curiosity for a killer story, your writing, editing and music selection has me absolutely entranced.
In my life, I have had 3 passions: chess, Melee, and rock climbing. I am loving your documentaries so far lol.
ayyyyy Melee gang!
Melee chess gang
Surely the yard gang lol
Melee gang
WOMBO COMBO

Dude, that letter from Wei Yi brought tears to my eyes.
I've only played chess a couple of times casually, so had to do a bit of pausing and rewinding, but the way this was directed really hooked me in.
FlameIsLucky really knows how to build up and hit those emotional payoffs; came for the melee doco, and stayed for the awesome storytelling.
Keep up the great work!!! Don't let the algorithim grind you down!!!
you should get into chess, it rocks lol
@@rubyhowling its interesting af but i think i could never😂
Ding seems like such a nice man; he gets so emotional just talking about his friends and family, you can feel the love :)
This was fucking astounding. As someone who essentially only follows chess through your videos, I didn’t know anything about the result or the history. You did such a good job building the background and the narrative and I was at the edge of my seat in the last 10 or 20 mins. Keep up the incredible work

Fantastic documentary. People sleep on ding and write him off because he never beat magnus to become world champion, but he truly is one of the best to ever do it. What a story
lol he’s not that strong. Just lucky. China isn’t good at Chess let’s be honest. They should stick to their own things
@xEric1993 Agreed. I have multiple games of Ding's saved in my inspiration folder, he's played some beautiful sequences. Plus, his personality and humility are a breath of fresh air in the professional chess scene
@@AJ-iu6nw not good at chess but China hold both the womens and mens world championships lol
@@AJ-iu6nw womens chess champion: china, mens chess champion: china, you: an idiot
people are writing him off more than ever now because he’s been struggling with his health. it’s going to be difficult for king ding to beat the young and healthier gukesh, but I think we all know how incredible and resilient ding is.
One of my favorite RUclips channels casually dropping yet another inspirational masterpiece. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you for putting this up! It's easily one of the greatest sporting stories that I've been struggling to share with friends outside of the chess world. This was beautifully made!
And here I was thinking Ding was just lucky Magnus didn't defend his title, how wrong I was....
This. Is. Gold.
To add flame , in Ding's prime (before pandemic) had Fabiano Caruana not qualified, Ding was the closest to defeat Magnus in the World Championship.
I cant express enough how thankful i am for you making this video. As a chess fan and ding supporter, thank you. This video made me cry multiple times from different parts of the video. This video gave me a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you. Thank you
Covid is a

Glad you didn’t mention that last tournament where he lost every single one of his games 😅 albeit it was Fischer random but still.. something looked really off about him
Nice soundtracks. From Mario 64 to Earthbound to Hollow Knight, yet somehow still all feeling unified. Another Fantastic video.
i heard gorillaz and cowboy bebop(obv) too
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Parappa the Rapper too.
Couldn't have made better choices myself :p
@@vharmi.my man got taste and is talented af. why is he so damn underrated😭

Nakamura saying Ding wont win the last three games is just stupid and not elegant
This made me cry I can't even describe how well put together this is. Beautiful.
This owned so hard! Please keep it up! Melee + Chess documentaries?? Yes please!!!!
I think it's Cantonese in the beginning although Ding and Wei Yi speaka Mandarin.
I subbed to this channel because of the skateboarding doc on Yuto Horigome. But man, your uploads are all so well researched and entertaining. Keep going, I'll be proud to say I was here when the channel was under 10k subs
the reveal at 22:51 gave me goosebumps. Ding beating those Super GMs at 16 is just mind blowing.
This is the best chess documentary I've seen. The editing, pacing and emotional pull, of a usually logic driven / dense game as chess. The alphago movie for chess. Thank you for the work you put into this
I really enjoyed watching this documentary, and I hope you continue making chess-related content. Your narrative style is amazing!

Amazing! Pls do same documentary about Bobby Fischer
Hanz is a cheater, why people normalize and ignore that? He is already ban from chess, but still occupy a real player spot 🤮
Amazing video thank you so much for this great content.
dude you sent me on a philosophical mental analysis. chess is a sport and so are video games 🤙🎮

Fide’s rule change was after alireza no who cheated the rules a lot more no? Not after ding i think
never stop making videos 💜
Incredible documentary, thank you for this.
of the pieces if yours that i've seen, this is the most moving and your improvement is obvious
thank you
1:32:40 look at ian, he's a great actor! It really feels like he's lost something important. Very good acting!
Magnus got 3rd, but still got the most prize money? That right there is criminal.
The subtle cowboy bebop references. you the goat
random rapport bs
i cant💀

I don’t play or watch chess but this made me cry, dude. God I love hearing about people achieve amazing things
This was such a great story
incredible documentary style, my friend. i think i love u💅💅
This is better than Queen’s Gambit, because this is actually real
Another great video, please keep up these coming! You have a knack for storytelling.
better that the whole queen's gambit :) , this is real and it is beautiful , thanks king ding
Big limitless chess board was very matching video for naration
i love paradox games
The heavy snow and is that the cinnabar island building theme I forget my themes
d5 move alone deserved Ding to be the world champion :)
