    She's such an incredibly smart girl, I love everything she thinks and says.
    "I want to be world champion like Carlsen"
    "I want to be one of the greatest players of all time"
    How many other talented girls would have such ambitions.
    Besides, look how many people, after discovering her talent, said, "We have a new Judit Polgar". This amazing girl outsmarts them all. Why should she limit herself to being the best woman? She just wants to be the best, like Carlsen. She wants to be known for her achievements, not gender. She doesn't follow women's chess? Sure, who follows 2500 elo players (whether male or female) wanting to be a 2800 elo player? She already understands much more when others still don't.
    I hope she reaches the top and fulfills all her dreams.

      @panda4247 Місяць тому

      @@lessormore001 well of course, everybody would prefer to be 2018 Ding to being 2023 Ding (even Ding himself, I suppose?)
      It was very unfortunate how the whole cvd situation and then government restriction affected him personally and professionally. It got to him psychologically and he lost confidence and resilience perhaps...
      But still, he is the current Champion, and a 2100 player can still want to be be like him.
      To be completely clear, I am not complaining about "I want to be like Carlsen" (sure she wants to be like him, every chess player would love to be like him (even Hans, though he won't admit it probably :D)) nor "I want to be world champion like Carlsen" (he was a world champion, and she wants to achieve that as well).
      But the sentence was "I want to be LIKE world champion, LIKE Carlsen") which sounded like she meant Carlsen from the start, and she meant she wants to be like him, but then remembered "oh, he is not the official champion anymore, I need to clarify".
      I'm sure she did not mean it like that, but if this was said by anybody else than a 9 yo child, then one could take it as an insult (like: "I want to be like the world champion... no, I don't mean like Ding, I mean the real champion, I want to be like Carlsen")
      lol... that was far too long paragraph to write about something that a 9yo said and probably did not even mean it like that. I'm out

    • @lessormore001
      @lessormore001 Місяць тому

      @@panda4247 Well, I feel quite funny discussing what a 9-year-old's intentions might have been when talking about her future chess goals.
      I don't think she meant to insult Ding (and yes, it's very sad that he plays like this and can be remembered as one of the weakest world champions) and I probably know what she meant. She's only a child, so she may have difficulty expressing her thoughts so precisely. In one of her other interviews, she said that her ultimate goal is "to be remembered among the greatest players of all time." This goes well beyond just being a world champion and is characterized by absolute dominance, breakthroughs and constantly setting new records. And while I can name a dozen world champions, but when it comes to the greatest players of all time, only three really seem to stand out: Fischer, Kasparov and Carlsen. When she says this (though perhaps not entirely perfectly), she means this title an important goal, but only one among many others.
      I also have a slightly different interpretation of this, although I think it is less likely. Bodhana, as a girl, could also fight for the world championship in the women's category. By adding "like Carlsen" to her statement, she makes it clear that she means the open section. It would be as if she had this in mind from the beginning, but after a while she thought "The interviewer might not understand what I mean, if I mention the name Carlsen, it will be completely clear to her."
      A third interpretation could be that Bodhana, as female prodigy, is very sought after in the chess world. There have been very few outstanding women so far, and none of them have become world champions. So certainly, even if she was slightly less outstanding, as a woman with the title of world champion she would be easier to remember and mention first, although many players now might not think about world champions like even Ding first. By saying "like Carlsen" here (and I even saw another interview of hers where she said "better than Carlsen") she could mean "My goal is not for people to remember me because I was a girl. What I would like most is for people to remember me and say that I was the absolute best in the world and I played this game like no one else could." because that would be something she would be remembered for regardless of her gender. If that were the case, that would be incredibly smart and an admirable approach.
      I'm finally done, so now I hope you enjoy reading this entire essay about one statement made by a 9-year-old girl.
