This is an unmitigated disaster. The entire (non-Chinese) world will now be confused whether it's Ding Liren or Liren Ding...

Chicken!

There are no beans in Ding. Just popped up for a second when I saw snoozyman and some unseen force made my fingers start typing. I'm going back to the Off Topic slums.

Then why do ppl say Ding vs Nepo ?

snoozyman

All I can say is the Magnus Carlsen era is over....

....or is it?

He's Chicken! On Toast! No Beans!

Nepo is the new Korchnoi (lost 2 consecutive WC matches).

Ding is the new Fischer (became World Champion is a cycle where he did not even qualify to begin with).

neizch

Well done Ding, commiserations to Ian, he must be gutted.

neizch

can we just take a moment to appreciate ding's win that he won against a two time wc challenger, world no 2 with tons of experience, access to a supercomputer, a whole team of seconds while ding prep got leaked and he is world no 3 compared to world no 2

Despite all that.

He won

We might see Liren Ding vs Magnum Carlos soon
