You made India Proud.
Yes!
Beautiful photo's! Mostly "where have i seen that before" and gukesh' reaction was beautiful.
Congratulations Gukesh!
Sorry for Ding, his blunder was brutal
Amazing as always, wp both! Congrats Gukesh!
It's really bad to see Ding ended his WCC in this way...Nowadays with the help of the engine, it seems has became much easier to criticize these pros but I do agree that the blunder that Ding made at the last moment was a shock...It's hard to truly consider everything in their views as I believe their pressure especially for Ding, is unbearable, at least I cannot handle the pressure for sure... During the conference Ding looked quite peaceful... I am really worried Ding falls into the similar negative and passive psychological status like the time after his match with Nepo last year... Hope I could see Ding returns with his best shape in the future.
WHAT A WCC this year!
Gukesh is 18 years old 18th champion ... intresting
Congratulations to Gukesh for becoming the youngest ever World champion. His childhood dream has been fulfilled finally.
And even though Ding lost the title but as Gukesh said he is the true champion. What a fight he put on.
And really agreed, chess is a psychological game, the one who crumbles first under pressure loses, in this case it was Ding. But anyways, I hope now that the pressure of being a world championship has been lifted from Ding, he can get back into his older days spirit.
Love to both humble chess players from India. :)
