No, he still, but he's in a different board. Look for it on the internet
Is Ding Liren still playing chess?

He will play in the SCC, should be fun to watch. He also did play in Norway Chess quite recently.

He will still be world champion if he wins the games against the winner of the candidates tournament.

What is the point of posting complete nonsense like this?
No point, it's when they are bored and can't think of anything but want to open a post

He just silently became the world champion. He didn't catch the lights and Carlsen is still in every chess video and is always being talked as the current world champion instead of Ding!
yep , he is preparing for the next candidate tournament now .

He will not play in the candidates tournament as he is not even in the FIDE world cup, which is used to qualify for candidates.
He's probably tired from all those fake matches & tournaments his federation set up just so he could get into the candidates tournament. He was in a lot of "events" just before the candidates just to "qualify". He's the first & only 2nd place finisher to be called "world champion".
Come on man.

If Carlsen had his way, there would be no classical world championship. Its too "boring and stressful."
He also wouldnt have had a chance to "qualify" for the candidates if FIDE cared about peoples freedom of speech.

The same way FIDE cares about how women are treated in various countries where they can't even walk in public with anything but their eyes showing and treated as not much more than possessions of men?

THE WORLD CHAMP DOESNT NEED TO GET IN THE CANDIDATES
