watching this duel live was truly special. i legitimately thought Ding was cooked after spending that much time but his spirit is why we love him. He was honest about how insecure he felt and played with his heart on his sleeve, brilliant!
When I saw a french defense my brain immediately categorized the game as a draw. Hearing Ding won made me so genuinely happy for the guy. I hope this was the ice breaker he needed.
Hey Levy, you probably won’t see this, but I started playing chess during August this year, and I’ve been pretty much educated on your courses and content (I do have a coach now though), and last saturday I got second place in my first chess tournament. I can’t thank you enough, and I love everything you do
@@bhardwaj_abhiit’s actually worse than what Magnus predicted…I think what Magnus meant was the first result will be ding winning which usually is him with the white pieces. Gukesh was also expected to be strong with white so this blow is much bigger than what Magnus predicted
If there’s one thing about ding - he really respects the game. Even though he was struggling - I never expected him to just give up! I’m sure he’s been prepping. Excited for a great WC
These game analysis videos are my favorites of yours. You're really a spectacular commentator when it comes to breaking down advanced gameplay for us newbs!
As an Indian I was naturally rooting for Gukesh but it's so great when an underdog comes on top especially when the oppenent is as humble as Ding, It would be great to see how Gukesh comes back from this defeat.
It's been 55 years since someone has won with Black in Game 1 of a WCC.🎉 Edit: Actually it has been 43 years since someone has won with Black in Game 1 of a WCC. Thank you for the correction. The game I referenced was Spassky vs Petrosian. The game years later was Karpov vs Korchnoi in 1981 where Karpov beat Korchnoi in 43 moves.
Bro, you really going to make this comment, and make me go google who it was? Come on. :) Edit: Defending champ Tigran Petrosian beat challenger Boris Spassky with black in game 1 of 1969 championship, but ultimately lost the match.
This is just for FIDE championships. In 2004, while the titles were still split, the same feat was accomplished by the defending champion, who is quite an interesting chess player.
If Ding wins this match its gonna be one of the most amazing comebacks in chess history and by the way can i just say NB2!!!!!!! amazing positional understanding by Ding. All the best to both players!!
Well, considering he’s never lost the title, it can’t really be a comeback. Maybe he was just floundering for a year to try out different things and study unorthodox tactics. Did you see how ding maneuvered his pieces behind Gukesh’s pawns? Rarely do you see that kind of infiltration in a game like this. Either Ding is a great actor, was playing possum, or collecting data.
@@Wargasm54 you're trolling if you think a world champion wouldn't win a game for a year on purpose. He clearly had mental issues but maybe he's waking up at boiling point
Levi you are truly a special wave in the space of online chess. I watched the entire FIDE broadcast and it was a complete snoozer. This breakdown makes it feel like it's the Jordan flu game. FIDE needs to bring you a BAG bro.
Around 10:25 is one of the reasons i like watching Gotham the most. You have this fascinating ability to take an immensely complicated chess position that could probably have an essay written about it and distill it into the understandable "king is just a chill guy" comment. Amazing work dude, love the content!
This was a fantastic first game. Levy is right to call it cinematic. It was dramatic to witness the inner struggle of a great mind. The man on the brink of collapsing, almost to the point that his demise seemed inevitable, overcomes triumphantly to reclaim his position as champion. Ding has a story, we may not know all the details, but his story, his struggle, his world championship are very compelling. Ding deserves a special place in sports history. A great mind, a great sportsman. Well played, well done.
Not the Gukesh we have seen before, nerves and inexperience maybe. But Ding showed former greatness. Happy its not a onesided slaughter of a unstable Ding, what i feared most.
My man you have a gift in the way you storytell a chess game... That is why you are the GOAT of the RUclips chess game. All these GMs hating on you could never in a million years do what you keep doing.
I remember he said after his loss to Alireza in Candidates "that's when I felt I could actually win the candidates. I felt I was at my best" He feeds from negative energy, he needs to be defeated to be motivated. He comes back even stronger.
12:05 Then something just snapped, something inside of me. I didn't care anymore. I didn't care about being better than Magnus. I didn't care about being a World Champion. I didn't care if I lived. I didn't care about anything. And then it happened...
Saw the match live. Nb2 was brilliant, a positional masterstroke! Ding really is a genius! And Levy is a genius with his recap! What a thrilling start to this Championship! Applauding from the Philippines!😊🙏💕👏
This was really something, nice to see Ding come back after all this time, whatever happens after this, he can be proud. Also yes, a move counter would be nice for these recaps.
Holy sht! Ding Liren is so resilient, it stuns me how this guys always recover from whatever is going on in his head, he became a world champion with this signature trait
I tried to tell people this match wasn’t gonna be a blowout. Especially with the extensive prep from both teams. Gukesh didn’t even play poorly he just crumbled under time pressure he’s not dead yet. This is gonna be a fight and I love it.
No one expected Ding Liren to come back in form, but as he came into the World Chess Championship match, he showed what he can do, he is a tactical, intuitive and attacking monster in his best, Gukesh needs to perform at his best till date, in order to become the World Champion, let's see how it pans out..
Hey levy, I love your videos and the content you make for the chess community and you have brought chess back into my life after I had forgotten about it. I cannot wait for the day you are officially approved to be a GM and am eagerly waiting for your next book to come out so I can read it.

you know when I was watching it live, it was chaotic. The chats were chaotic, a lot of them wanting Ding to lose and resign instantly. After Gukesh resigned, they are not even convinced that he won. The true copium stuff

O
Ding said in the interview (in Chinese) that he “was choosing between the prep and a novel idea and decided to choose the latter”
Can you imagine if the psychological breakdown was a strategy to look weak and now he’s gonna beat him?
Turn counter sounds excellent, especially with the insane time usage these guys had this game
I tried to tell people this match wasn’t gonna be a blowout. Especially with the extensive prep from both teams. Gukesh didn’t even play poorly he just crumbled under time pressure he’s not dead yet. This is gonna be a fight and I love it.
