I have beef with everyone taht says Gukesh

It’s only like a 40 elo difference

insane

Ding Liren. Though he makes the occasional mistake, his openings throw his opponents off real hard. Colle System, London System, French Defense, it’s all bound to confuse his opponent. Gukesh is the favorite however ding absolutely smothered Gukesh in this game.

The thing is, Gukesh has very high chances as well. He is very aggressive however the problem with playing aggressive is that one mistake is the end of the game and you’re screwed. This will be close.

Don't be biased , I guess you ate extra dogs today

First of all, that’s a stereotype, so you wouldn’t know it’s true

Prime Ding would definitely beat current Gukesh.

In reality World Championship matches are usually really close. No matter who is playing them, because they are very high level. Now if a 2500 GM were playing the World Championship match it would be different, but two 2700s? This match will be a close one!

Good luck to both of them!

Imo there is no certainty that a world championship match will be close (because there is psychology and fitness status that can be a game-changer) and it's not fair that they have big elo.

First the GM have to qualify for the candidates which is already difficult in itself then he have to be the winner of the candidates and then there is the championship match so it's not fair he has a big elo.
