I noticed that as well, I assume it’s because his team speaks primarily English, could be sign of just how much time he’s been preparing with them for this match
Another non-important point: the game is hosted in Singapore, a Chinese dominant country, Ding can freely communicate with the local fans of him in Mandarin.
If you watch videos of many players from the last decade, you can see how their English has improved. Watch interviews with Ding or Nepo from 2018 and it’s clear they’re much more fluent now. Even Magnus, who was always fluent in English, speaks it much more comfortably now than he did as a teenager. I also recall a recent interview with Yu Yangyi where he spoke English while a 2019 interview with him required a translator
@@2596mrbut he didn't believe in it. We all said it. Gugesh made a mistake, he became too confident, he was behaving like an "alpha". Gukesh is smart, he will definitely see this and play "completely", the game is on. Amazing competition!!
Ding was just FAKING since atleast past 2-3 months... just day b4 yesterday he was staggering while speaking English as he always does while opening ceremony interview... n in just 1 day he is so fluent.. WAO, are we FOOL to believe that?? CHINESE PEOPLE SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLOR.... hehh..

I really wished I am wrong but I guess everybody knows but look the other way.
But as Garry just said this is not even a WC with Magnus not playing, so yeah maybe it does not matter at all. But still, why not just put a 1 hour delay and see the effect???? ???
I guess Ding used this "weak-image" to his advantage. He made us believe he is weak but he knew what he was doing, it worked out perfectly for him. The whole reversing of the momentum into his favour was part of the plan. Gukesh clearly underestimated ding.
I mentioned earlier how people were prematurely writing Ding off. He has heart. I wanted to mention, however, how calm and mature Gukesh is immediately after losing a difficult game. He is a composed young man.
Haven't u got the point yet? Gukesh is composed cos now the picture is clear in front of him that DING WAS FAKING since at least past 2-3 months n he is totally in good shape from every angle..Ding was even faking untill day b4 yesterday as he was staggering during interview in speaking English ...n just today his English is like never b4... that can't happen in 1 day , he was well prepared n yet continued to show his mental illness just to have psychological advantage...such a SHAME.
@@tuktukkkkkkI’m not sure I understand what you’re talking about. LOL. But if you think Ding was “faking it,” then that is part of the game. And there’s nothing shameful at all about gaining a psychological advantage. Anyhow, I don’t believe Ding was faking it at all.
Still the only reason for Ding being a Champion is stupid system ... every Champion should have guaranteed place in the Candidates, where two top players would face each other in World Championship Match ... Current system is like having Football Champions League, one team wins the final ... but then there is no trophee but Superfinal against the former winner ... who did not play one single game in Champions League during whole season ... It's literally ridiculous.
@@smartset2968 It's not ridiculous and has been widely accepted and done the same for Magnus. SGMs have said that the Candidates is messy and best skills don't mean you can win and even said Magnus may not make it if he had to try Candidates again. So therefore, this system has been in place for years when Magnus was champion and nobody complained and everyone accepted it. Magnus was still considered the legit champion despite not having to compete in Candidates again every year. All these years it has been accepted and nobody ever complains why Magnus doesn't have to fight in Candidates again (even tho they believe Magnus may not win the Candidates). Basically, the Candidates is not the true measure of skill (this has also been said by SGMs). Therefore, nobody ever demanded that the champion had to play the Candidates every time. I think you personally have a problem possibly due to being a new Gukesh chess fan (or something of that sort).

Q: did you want to go stable because of your experience and game advantage over Gukesh? A: the French is very risky because White can narrowly gain advantages, so I did prepare beforehand but his opening still surprised me, so it may not be as successful. Q: how will this game change the match? A: no idea, I’ve never led in a world championship match. I’ll think about it when I get back, but this is confidential so I can’t say too much…
Ding is just behaving like a TRUE CHINESE... faking to be mentally ill even after he has recovered n well prepared just so that he can have psychological advantage over Gukesh... That was not expected from Ding, no matter how good player he is... i mean he was faking it since at least 2-3 months... such a shame.
Ding is so precious. I hope he wins and refind a prime at least from here to the next wcc, we need to see prime Ding again cause it's such a good classical player. Meanwhile Gukesh is very young so he surely will have other chances if this is not the one he wins
Gukesh u are doing great job.We are proud of you . U have super sportsman spirit . I was amazed by u r answer when u said u are excited for more matches . Wow .❤that's the spirit boy .common keep it up . U are gonna win .
I watched 15 minutes of the game last night, was the part Gukesh was reviewing. I think I saw 97% accuracy by Ding, and 96% accuracy by Gukesh before those moves. Great looking game! Both played well!
Exactly..i felt this immediately after seeing this interview. DING WAS FAKING since at least past 2-3 months n he is totally in good shape from every angle..Ding was even faking untill day b4 yesterday as he was staggering during interview in speaking English while opening ceremony ...n just today his English is like never b4... that can't happen in 1 day , he was well prepared n yet continued to show his mental illness just to have psychological advantage...such a SHAME.
Why is it shame? Can you please explain me. It is not always good to be in our hypothetical scenarios. Even it he had done that whole faking thing. What's wrong in that. Only because of his weak performance this championship got hyped. And now it became interesting. Just don't play any blame game. Both players are great and both have their own psychological tactics. Like the time. When he was wandering in front of board. Diverting Dings focus. So its very common in chess to have such tactics.
@@tuktukkkkkkwow are you salty about gukesh losing lol. honestly i still think he has a pretty good shot but now he will have to fight for it. he would be stupid not to prep for peak ding anyway. trust him and relaaaxx
Certainly losing the first game isn't the end of the world. Notably Petrosian lost his first game against Botvinnik in 1963 but went on to win; likewise Spassky lost his first game against Petrosian in 1969 but went on to win. Fischer of course lost his first two games, one by forfeit, in 1972 but also went on to win.
It's ok to be losing and gain some experience of under pressure on first game .... 😊 Gukesh always know for his quick leaning and comeback...hope for best ..he already archive Before time .wc for him is a bonus .. it's best see him he is not even panic mode ..that's the plus point about him😅 0:38
@@bine2100 fun fact that u didn't noticed... Gukesh will be now very confident of how he has to go about in this championship cos he cud see a clear picture not that DING WAS FAKING SINCE AT LEAST PAST 2-3 MONTHS , even after he was recovered from his illness, so now Gukesh will come in apt mindset to beat Ding. This is why Gukesh said "the game has now become more interesting as he is trailing now by 1 point". Ding has not played even a single match in past 10 months whereas Gukesh has won so many against major players to reach to this stage, so he deserves to win.
@@tuktukkkkkk Careful,the pressure of wc is really big Even Magnus said the biggest obstacle in wc=pressure and mentality Just look at Ian,he's crumbled mentaly and emotionally in the previous wc Even though he dominated candidates and look cold before wc
Congrats first Q: why spent so long on move 7 A: I’m deciding between remembering the main line and coming up with new idea at the spot. I chose the second Q: have you choose this opening to play solid, or play for a win A: apparently French is a risky decision because white has ways to gain minor advantage. I spent a lot of time prepping but was surprised with this decision. Not a really successful opening for me Q: does the win today impact your overall strategies for the entire championship matches? A: I need to think about it, I’ve never lead in the championship matches before.
Now this is heading to become an epic mental battle between the champion and the challenger. It would be definitely nervous as a young adolescent to play your first game at World Chess Championship. But we believe that Gukesh has got the talent and ability to outplay any opponent on a given day. Wishing you a good luck and fortune on the upcoming games Gukesh...Maintain your patience and composure and wonders will follow❤🎉
@@chessbrawler nah imo is this event just useless. I think its after every game. And you cant ask good questions. Most stuff about them is already public. You cant talk that much about most games thats still the best part. And really intresting stuff like about there thought processes and preperation will ofc not be answerd
14:53 Ding laughs, best part of the interview, and FIDE + Google together don’t translate in real time don’t even add subtitles now… Please be ready tomorrow! 🙏🏼
Give Ding a translator. When he gets to reply in chinese his response is actually well thought out. Even though he has no problem understanding the questions in english, he struggles to formulated a response
Yeah, the problem with unrelated languages that don’t even share the same grammar is exactly that. You can express yourself so well in your native language, but the mental bridge created when thinking in another language is immense.
About 300 elo. In Chinese. Although I tend to pronounce it “ero” in an attempt to mimic Chinese pronunciation. Much love to the”Ding” and to the “DGukey” two good young men of talent skill and humility.
Yes, yes he can. And if he does it , it will be a prize earned ,not simply won. Beating Ding is by no means easy. Not for me or you, and not for My Guky boy either. As a sport we are blessed right now. I have always dreamed of visiting India. To be there on a street corner with my board out next to my chai drink when Gukesh takes the title. !! This would be a wish come true. I do not fear - I know- the street would break out into a well choreographed Baliwood dance, children would sing and horns would blow. My chai would shimmer in the sunlight as we all danced down the street in rhythmic formations of 64. I hope you are in India for the party. Please dance for me.
Super GM level chess is a game of positional play, if you see the history it's the positional players who have always been consistent and as a result winners for a long time
The woman basically asked Ding three questions: (1) Why did you take so long to play move #7? To which Ding basically said he had to ponder for a long time because he wasn't expecting what Gukesh played. (2) Why the choice of the French Defense? Ding acknowledged that it was a risky choice, because white had many possible lines of response. But he decided to play it anyway, probably to surprise his opponent. (3) Now that you have won the first game, does that change your overall approach to the match going forward? Ding, with his usual circumspection and reticence, said that since he has never led in a WC match before, this is a new experience for him, and he will have to take some time over the next day to consider this whole thing. He also said that he can't divulge much else, because it's a secret 🙂
Ding was out of prep after C3?!? That’s a bit surprising. To play that well 40 minutes down, definitely shows “something”. G got exactly what anyone can hope for out of the opening (huge time lead and OP out of prep) and was basically outplayed in the mid game, needs to recoup and not lose confidence. Magnus was spot on in his prediction, Ding will have the first big chance as it’s unrealistic to expect G to play anywhere near his peak G1, due to nerves.
@thierrywilly4480 because it takes time of the players who prepare so hard with their team for the next day. In a normal tournament that's ok . But not for a world championship match . It's so stressful for players
@@joylife428I can't see why answering a few simple questions would add any detectable amount of stress compared to how stressful the match itself is. they're not little children, they're professional players.
Some people who don't know what it is are jus curious.. but I see your point.. it has nothing to do with chess so I too don't see the point of that question
Remember, Vishy had first blood with Kasparov, but the loss fueled some drive, and Garry struck back with 4 wins split by a single draw, so if we learned anything, these matches can be unpredictable. That's exciting, and I'm expecting some sparks. It's far too early for predictions.
New to watching competitive chess. Why do the players analyse the game in such detail with their opponent immediately post-match? Doesn't it expose their thinking and tactics in a 14 match game?

Not the most important point here, but it seems like Ding's English has improved considerably.

You are very correct! It just amazes me how well these Chess players from other countries speak English so well.

Congrats to Ding coming through strong! Many people discounted him but he didn't listen to the naysayers! Let's go Ding!
game 1 is a wake up call for gukesh
not google sponsoring and them still not being able to translate lol
I had a lot of time to chill lol Ding is chilling
Gukesh you can do this 😊
😮
Yes, yes he can. And if he does it , it will be a prize earned ,not simply won. Beating Ding is by no means easy. Not for me or you, and not for My Guky boy either. As a sport we are blessed right now. I have always dreamed of visiting India. To be there on a street corner with my board out next to my chai drink when Gukesh takes the title. !! This would be a wish come true. I do not fear - I know- the street would break out into a well choreographed Baliwood dance, children would sing and horns would blow. My chai would shimmer in the sunlight as we all danced down the street in rhythmic formations of 64. I hope you are in India for the party. Please dance for me.

@@miguelcanoe6774 what the hell are you saying
6:26 "you were supposed to be in bad shape" the El Pais guy's question was atrocious
Pretty sure Magnus made a prediction somewhere, where he said if it starts off like this, Gukesh will most likely not have any chances?
Nah he just said Ding wouldnt have any chances if he lost the first game. So well probably have a close fight now.
@@emperorsascharoni9577 he said ding would get the chances first and its upon him if he takes them or not and he certainly did
Wow his English improved so much in just a year 😳 that’s really impressive
Super GM level chess is a game of positional play, if you see the history it's the positional players who have always been consistent and as a result winners for a long time
Kasparov?? Alekhine?? Tal??
what was the translation of the chinese question and answer
The woman basically asked Ding three questions: (1) Why did you take so long to play move #7? To which Ding basically said he had to ponder for a long time because he wasn't expecting what Gukesh played. (2) Why the choice of the French Defense? Ding acknowledged that it was a risky choice, because white had many possible lines of response. But he decided to play it anyway, probably to surprise his opponent. (3) Now that you have won the first game, does that change your overall approach to the match going forward? Ding, with his usual circumspection and reticence, said that since he has never led in a WC match before, this is a new experience for him, and he will have to take some time over the next day to consider this whole thing. He also said that he can't divulge much else, because it's a secret 🙂

To Mike Klein from a Chinese speaker: It's Ding Liren, not Lizhen. There's an R in there. 🤓
Let's Go Ding!
Lol his last answer is so diplomatic 🤣🤣🤣
Why is no one talking about how sad and awkward the whole room sounds with bad questions and people on their phones
Only the first game, championship isn't decided off of one game.
Ding was out of prep after C3?!? That’s a bit surprising. To play that well 40 minutes down, definitely shows “something”. G got exactly what anyone can hope for out of the opening (huge time lead and OP out of prep) and was basically outplayed in the mid game, needs to recoup and not lose confidence. Magnus was spot on in his prediction, Ding will have the first big chance as it’s unrealistic to expect G to play anywhere near his peak G1, due to nerves.
No game 2 press Conference?
Ding is so innocent looking
True
Not false
Ding chilling
11:30 gukesh reaction 😂😂
If i asked them those questions my uncle would slap me
some things should be kept secret till the end of the match ...
I'm surprised these guys would discuss what was on their minds, but I haven't watched much WCC in the past.
Gukesh’s prep seemingly would not be enough
SEMANGAT GUKESH ....
I do not think a press conference is needed for every game in world championship match .
Why?
@thierrywilly4480 because it takes time of the players who prepare so hard with their team for the next day. In a normal tournament that's ok . But not for a world championship match . It's so stressful for players
@@joylife428 The stress is part of it all
@@oliverberglas4188 creating stress for the players for the sake of advertisement is not FIDEs job . 🧐🧐🧐
@@joylife428I can't see why answering a few simple questions would add any detectable amount of stress compared to how stressful the match itself is.
they're not little children, they're professional players.
Wouldnt be surprised if ding use cow opening next match to throw gukesh off
Really? First win for ding in 38 clasical matches ,
I loved the Chinese talk😀✌🏻
Who knows all those stories were true..may be a tactic to become the world champion again..
They Literally have a Laptop with
the Tiniest Screen for Analysis. 🤣🤣
It looks like the match is going to be a fight. Great!
WE HAVE A REAAAL MATCH AHEAD OF US LADIES AND GENTELMANNSSSSS
bro wtf is this question ???
15:23
Classic media trying to milk content knowing they cannot ask any chess based questions
Bro thought it was about the yellow ribbon project
Better question than the one following it.
Some people who don't know what it is are jus curious.. but I see your point.. it has nothing to do with chess so I too don't see the point of that question
Ding seems to be proud of his English. Don't give out too much, though..
Ding should translate the chinese question the next time
fide needs better microphones
Ask Grischuk about sleep and food. 😁
God, talk about the worst possible game 1 result for Gukesh. We’ll see if he can handle the nerves and play from behind.
Remember, Vishy had first blood with Kasparov, but the loss fueled some drive, and Garry struck back with 4 wins split by a single draw, so if we learned anything, these matches can be unpredictable. That's exciting, and I'm expecting some sparks. It's far too early for predictions.
That reporter from Spain asked a question in such poor taste.
Tbh English isn't his first language either, perhaps he didn't want to phrase it like that
All of the questions are terrible, imagine coming all the way from Germany to ask Gukesh about some bracelet he was wearing
@@Regulardude12338 yeah the reporters are trying to appeal to a wider audience or sth, but really silly
why is maurice calling him Liren, lol
That's actually his first name, as Yifan is actually Hou Yifan's first name but everyone calls her Hou.
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE AN INTROVERT,DING ALL THE WAY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Por favor, para mañana poner subtítulos en español, gracias
New to watching competitive chess. Why do the players analyse the game in such detail with their opponent immediately post-match? Doesn't it expose their thinking and tactics in a 14 match game?
Gukesh will definitely win WC❤ THATHASTU 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 JAI SHREE RAM
