Learning that the guy is 17 is so irritating. It creates fury in my mind. How can someone who's younger than me by one year already be at that level? I really find it necessary to improve, but I need to kill this procrastinating mind of mine.
A good day for Indian chess, a truly sad day for world chess. There is not much hope that Ding manages to recover his former self by November and hit the Indian guy so hard that he never recovers. Judging by Ding's play in the last months it is more likely to be the other way around.
A very unstable situation here. With Carlsen having left and Gukesh having won the candidates tournament we are in a really unstable situation. Gukesh might win against Ding. And if he becomes World Champion, he would probably be beaten by Caruana or Nepo in the 2025 match... But however it goes, the situation is not very stable as they are suddenly like 10 potential World Champions currently. It's absurd.

If I were to name a few people who could definitely become a world champion, I would say Nepo, Fabi, Hikaru, Abdusattorov, maybe Pragg, maybe Vidit, maybe even Parham or Firouzja. It's pretty crazy to see how close it is. Tbh I didn't expect Gukesh to win until the final round.

In the WC match Gukesh-Ding I'll be rooting for Gukesh. Especially with the form Gukesh has been showing since Wijk aan Zee already, and Ding is not in form at all. Of course, things can definitely change.
Just a random poll-I want to know who you guys are rooting for to win the WC.
Thumbs Up for Ding to win, Thumbs Down for Gukesh to win. (use the emoji reactions)
Personally, I'm rooting for Ding to win.
Brother, what is the relevance, I want the magnus to have a good result, but the magnus probably has a very big issue with the hikaru, but in the meantime, the magnus should beat the hikaru
The real question isn't who will get WC, the real question is did Fabi get any sleep that night?
Muchas felicidades Gukesh , ahora tendras que prepararte para la etapa final...
