Anish Giri Decodes Why Ding Chose French Opening!

[Modie]

I love how this explanation starts kind of normal and then just becomes a shitpost.

Only Anish can survive after making these jokes

[vikramkrishnan]

Anish has a chessable course on French, great salesmanship bro

[qvd]

I'm also a big fan of the croassant defense

[roqsteady]

When Rapport said to play the Petroff, Ding mistook it for the French, because the two openings have very similar names in Chinese.

In Chinese it's 法国防御, which means French defense.

"The French Opening is also known as the surrender... and you can't choke if you already surrendered." - Ding Chilling 🥶

[elimlinrr]

No one played French Defence in a World Championship since 1978. The fact that Ding managed to turn the game around into a favourable position before that blunder due to time pressure speaks a lot about his ingenuity nevertheless.

[fidelderunechte]

in german the french opening is called "rückzug"

[weirdairportdude]

Does anyone know the translation of the opening to chinese?

[joeldick]

Not sure about Ding playing the French because he likes croissants, but pretty sure he played h3 dog ears because he likes dogs.

[stagna]

We saw side of Giri we never expected to see : man has some sense of humour. It is pretty dry and dark, but it is there, OK ...

[djdarklyceum]

Anish just saying things for the sake of saying things at this point. Getting really boring lmao
