Well Played Ding

Gukesh played well. He grinded the endgame like grandmaster (david howell and magnus book reference) I am very happy as an Indian tho I was supporting ding in this match. Ofc there are many words for the new 18th world champion but let's talk about Ding for now.
Ding, the 17th world chess champion has ended his reign on 12/12/2024. Everyone thought that gukesh would beat him in 10 games but Ding fought and defeated gukesh in game 1 right away. Ding's comeback in game 12 was so scary for everyone. He was trolled for years, People asked him to retire, People called it luck and it will be a massacre in singapore but ding score +2-3=6 in singapore. Which is not good but against mighty gukesh it's pretty good. No matter what everyone says ding will be a true world champion for me.

Ding accepted his defeat with a smile.
A champion who started his reign with a tear and ended his reign with a smile
Some Indians are asking ding to come to India and play chennai masters and they say there are many fans of Ding in India right now. at last I can only say
Well played Ding, thanks for a tough fight and an exciting match!!
