Nepo's reaction is heartbreaking💔 Imagine being a runner-up for two consecutive years against two different people.

[jeffbeck]

This guy's commentary even several notches lowered still gives me the chills.

[yoppoy]

this game was the 2nd most stressful game behind argentina vs france

[badrinarayanb]

After the win, I guess Ding was overwhelmed with emotions and his mind went blank. That's why he forgot the first handshake done and offered second handshake to Ian. It's quite understandable.

If you're mixing and matching clips, please include timer also. Otherwise people will think they blitzed out moves.

2:04 I didn't know this was Xie Jun, the former women's world champion. Like Ding, she is also very lovable ❤. Thanks for the Video and info.🙏

[Diesel-khpy]

Ian repeated same moves instead of playing strategically, but ding pushed his pawns with perfect Bishop security, those two pawns killed his success😊😊

[geert]

This opens a whole new world of possibilities for Anish

[hahe]

IM Sagar Shah: You are the best among chess commentators, so comprehensible; have you published any books? I want to read them.

[Lovefrchess]

He wasn't even showing happy face even if he wins like me😂

[siobai]

Ian loves to make these facial gestures. I dont know its his way of underestimating his opponents

[fygfdger]

Watch the comments about Ding before and after champion is interesting.

[manipurihunabopa]

People of the East are the next rising star. Ding Liren is a real genius. He has Magnus Carlson as well this week

[a-saurabhsingh]

Magnus left so that others can win the title.

[yoppoy]

For me it isn’t completly deserved because Nepo had More experience and he always had winning Position but unfortunatly he started Panik

[viswanathananand]

Where to closing ceremony pls any one tell

[ganesankrishnamurthy]

Ding also outplays Monaliza in smile contest. Apologies.. Vachier la...

[Narrowcros]

Not playing bxg7 isnt a blunder, just because you dont play like an engine doest mean every other move is a blunder, enough with this stpd engine analysis as if you guys would play it lmao.

[yoppoy]

Ding was happy Magnus got bored of winning😅 woulda got destroyed

[a-saurabhsingh]

Magnus kya nhi khela, sb apne ko jungle ka raja smjhne lge??
