I think him being the classical chess world champion, with Magnus’ shadow looming large over him and all the media attention and community opinions, he’s struggling to deal with all of that. Not everyone is able to deal with all that pressure and negativity, I just hope that he finds a way and gets back to playing chess at the highest level.

@usetheuser Ай бұрын

even magnus gets criticised by haters when he loses a single game, it must have been so much worse for ding.

@feelcollins4358 Ай бұрын

Magnus is the greatest chess player but he has a nasty manipulative personality, he definitely expected people would still crown him as the WC despite all that and this would put a lot of pressure on the winner of the WCC, these things are just mind games to him.

@legionrip7484 Ай бұрын

Honestly the current Ding is unlikely to be able to defend the world championship title.... As Magnus has said... The championship match takes a lot more out of people than you realize... That ding hasn't recovered from it is proof of that. Hopefully he can fully recover and return to form though

@lukebbuff Ай бұрын

@@feelcollins4358I don’t see what Magnus gains by trying to play mind games with Ding? I mean, he probably correctly to assumed he could have all the financial and personal benefits of his status as the GOAT without the pressure and exhaustion of defending his world title which is maybe a bit unfair. But I don’t see any reason for him to want to manipulate other players by giving up his title?

@feelcollins4358 Ай бұрын

@@lukebbuff His mind games is not on ding personally but to the chess world, basically "yeah he's the champ but y'all know deep down I'm the best" Which he isn't wrong but he made it so no one else could get the chance to challenge that narrative by not participating in the WCC so the pressure is directed at the winner in the end, he will be known as one of the weaker WC in history because he didn't "face the best"

Ding is like Australia in cricket. He'll be about alright in normal games without muxh weightage but pull out an absolute comeback performance in the title match.

I believe that prime Ding can definitely take an inexperienced Gukesh, he took down Nepo after all and I rate Nepo higher than Gukesh in classical. Skill can only do so much when it comes to World Championship pressure, but Ding not being at his best will make the World Championship definitely more competitive. Also that press clip when he talks about depression was really sad :\

Even with all his health issues and mental problems he managed to clench the title against Nepo who himself is one of the best in the world. I really wish he gets rid of his issues and once again gives the world a glimpse of prime Ding whom even Magnus used to consider one of the best.

I assume Ding's problem is that Magnus willingly gave up the WC title. Everyone still knows Magnus is the best player in the world by a large margin and we remember how good of an ambassador he is for chess and was when he was the WC. Ding knows he can never reach that level and he knows he is the world champion by name only. That troubles him and is a mental problem. As a world champion he is contantly compared to Magnus in every way and expected to perform, both playing and representing chess, like Magnus does and did as a world champion. Ding knows he can never do that or reach that level and that gets into his nerves.
