What happened to Ding Liren?
Nice title. Then you make me listen until 5:45 just to hear you say "I don't know what's going on" and start going over games. That's not what I signed up for. Clickbaiter.
pin of shame
This must be your first time😂
pin of truth?
pin is true

Ding: Stays inactive
Levy: “What happened to Ding Liren?”
*Insert ultra sad Ding Liren image with rain effect*
😂😂
He propably switched to other e-sports like Counter-Strike
Midjourney
@@elsamuhnah that’s just basic photoshop
Very funny
He won the world championship along with $2M and now he is Ding chilling.
Don't be too sad for him
"ding chilling"😭
He actually only won 1.1 Million. The prize fund was 2 million which would be split 60/40 between the winner and loser but if it went to rapid tiebreaks it would be split 55/45 so he got 1.1 Million and Nepo got 900K
@@koenzuidberg4927only…. I get your point though
Retire.
That's really not enough to retire at his age. The reason why most players want to win the WC (or get titles, in general) is to sell their content (books, courses, etc) at a higher price - and generally to accept big money to play in big name tournaments (like Tata Steel). I don't know what Ding is doing or if he even has such material to sell, though.
It's weird to just disappear, but I do hope he's doing OK mentally. I don't think he was really as prepared mentally to actually win.
It's unfortunate magnus didnt play for the championship. Probably demerits the win somewhat in dings mind, grinding tournaments all year only to hear things like "yeah but magnus didnt play"
But Ding wont even play wc if Magnus didnt refuse to defend his title
While that might be true, he did get his prize money. I am 100% sure all of them would take prize money for being ridiculed that they are not magnus
No he won a boat load of cash and chillin
This recap of Ding Liren's game is truly breathtaking. His strategic sacrifices and daring gameplay truly exemplify his genius. Can't wait for his return to the chess arena.
Ding done chilling, he will make a comeback in Tata Steel!
If ding refuses to defend his title, then the chess world is in shambles
We crown Magnus by force
Magnus doesn't want the title. FIDE has made it so you don't own the title. The title owns you.
second time in a row world champion refuses to defend title.
@@stevelenores5637 Lol, like in these "in soviet russia" memes
@@stevelenores5637 Sad since Magnus is probably the greatest chess champions of our time. He'd reign for another 20 years+ if he was up for it and if the chess committee wasn't so stupid.
This game by Ding is otherworldly, possessed by the spirit of the little magician from Riga (Latvia)
yooo, kā iet?))
@@ivashkajaI don't think Tal spoke Latvian
@@Q-hv2cb why?
Tal spoke Latvian/Ruzzian. Viņš Latvietis ar interesantu uzvārdu.
@@xtripx4273viņš taču ir ebrejs, vai nē?
This is the most unbelievable queen sacrifice of them all. Mikhail Tal looked down from chess afterlife and smiled.
Levy never fails to ding

Walla walla way way
Mr. Ding has finally stopped Chilling 🥶
I think he just started chilling finally
Levy: It happens to every elite athletics. Doesn't matter if is football, tennis or baseball what is not a real sport. Classic Levy.
i was looking for this comment xD
Classic gotham ignorance
I think Levy is just coping cause the Mets AND the Yanks are bad rn.
pathetic
Basebal is a picnic
Hope Ding Liren is okay
he is, use ur brain and stop getting baited
@@O_79there is no bait, he said himself he is dealing with health related issues
@@O_79 don't be aggressive when you don't even know what's going on
Levi wants to bolster the propagandist narrative of “RED CHINA!” To keep his viewers inside the box of allowed opinions. Sometimes he makes a whole video just to plant one or two subversive messages in your head. Realize it’s happening and it becomes obvious he is shilling for Israel and world Jewry.
@@O_79soul knight dude chill, just read carefully that comment
It's hard to stay on top after you get there is what some of you is forgetting. If you already made it what is your motivation to keep staying on top. Maybe his goal was world championship, and now he doesn't know what he plays for.
same happened to bobby
You talk about it like trying to stay on top should be his goal. He got everything he wanted, he no longer has anything to prove. What else does he need to do? I'm hopeful that he's been taking the past year off and just relaxing after reaching his goal.
@@midn8588’He no longer has anything to prove’ other than proving he’s the best the world? Which he hasn’t done, not his fault though that Magnus forfeited
@@josemanuico5613 Bobby was severely mentally ill and it impacted him greatly, ignoring this and chalking it up to him losing motivation is crazy
@@saberaxeWell, he also grew to despise the game over time. I don't think citing lack of motivation is too extraordinary of a claim
I always commend you with your ability in pronouncing players named from all over the world.
HUKIT759
Yeah, I wasn't even able to tell he was Russian at first because I get it accent wrong. 😭
He seems rather skilled at just switching things um when need be.
named? no, it's Mamedyarov
don't know about the other languages, but he needs to practice german names lol
I think he's learning Mandarin, as should we all
@@ivoryas1696 He's no Russian, he's American. His parents were Russian, but when you are born in the US and learn English from preschool age you are going to be as American as anyone else.
"Baseball, which is not a real sport" OMG 😂
I laughed out loud. What a clever joke to poke fun at the "chess isn't a real sport" quips. Levy is hilarious
I'd say the same if I was a mets fan too tbh
6:56 I'll consider the Queen d2, seems like a helpful move.
It wouldn't be possible without the second Chinese man. He was defending very well like a human GM. Masterpiece made by both, with Ding as a main artist.
Ding Liren is poised for a remarkable comeback. He has been an underrated chess champion thus far, but I am confident that he will make a strong resurgence, much like a Shaolin warrior.
Levy’s Mandarin pronunciation is not bad. It sounds like he’s studied; wouldn’t surprise me if he had.
His wife is Chinese; he has said that he was studying Mandarin in the past.
Levy’s Chinese pronunciation is always great. However, he should say “Bai Jinshi” in the order it’s written just like any other Chinese name.
There's a cool Chinese idiom related to this: 破釜沉舟 (pofuchenzhou), metaphorically meaning to cut off all means of escape in order to drive yourself toward a win. Based on a legend of a general preferring his army to break their cookware (pofu) and burn their own boats (chenzhou) to motivate themselves for a battle against the enemy.
Liren sacrificed all nonessential material, save that needed to secure the persuasive victory over his opponent, balancing it all on a sword's edge.
Great game, great commentary by Levy.
1:02 And Hikaru is the world chess 960 champion. Don't forget that
😂😂
Hey Levy, I love your videos where you show us the games of a GM and analyze them. It is always entertaining and I would support it if you made more videos like this in the future!
Absolutely beautiful when i am trying to play like this I keep losing every game
The 100 matches without losing record. Ding Liren was a true beast. The only player who was capable to put Magnus in real danger. I still hope he comes back to that insane level of chess.
Fabiano also exist
Ding had questionable Chinese tournament runs on his way where lower rated players whi were winning would ask for draws.
@@paulwoll1748 Because the lower rated player were probably afraid to play on because Ding is after all better than them, so draw would grant them many rating points anyway , so they probably thought that why risk losing when this draw is very good result anyway.
@@joshuahietala5174 In 2022 Ding Liren was short of the minimum games requirement for qualification by rating for the 2022 Candidates Tournament
To address this, the Chinese Chess Association organized three rated events at short notice, specifically to enable Ding to meet the minimum games requirement for the Candidates Tournament qualification. These tournaments were indeed closed to only Chinese players which was an exceptionally rare measure. But certainly a reasonable question mark.
That being said he won once there so kudos.
@@paulwoll1748 I know everything about that. Tell me exactly why is it suspicious to only allow Chinese chess players to travel to chess tournament in China? In that time travelling to China was extremely hard for certain reason.
People underestimate the effect of depression on Ding, which make sense as depression is always looked down upon which is quite sad
"The scariest thing isn't a mad man bulldozing your yard; it's when a quiet man stops chilling"
- I made the quote up
It's crazy that he won the world chess championship a year/ 8-9 months ago, But now he suddenly dissappeared.
Hope he's not pulling a Fischer 😕
it's not crazy, it's boring. he's the most boring world chess champion we've ever had
@@JacobsKrąnųg yeah nobody actually thinks he's the best. He's washed lmao.
That is an exceptional game, thanks for the top notch commentary. Hope Ding Liren is back in action soon
"Baseball is not a real sport" most accurate phrase Levy has ever said
as a baseball fan, i’m biased and i know he’s also joking but like if hitting a 98 mph sinker with 18 inches of vertical break isn’t a sport then i don’t know what is
@@bruhmoment1329"You see, baseball isn't really a sport, it's more of an excuse to get really messed up" Jon Bois, Lonny Smith video
I don't know if I've been watching too many chess videos, but when Levy says Qd2 in the seventh minute, without explanation, that was just the funniest thing.
Good to hear he'll be at Tata Steel. By the way, Ding is the WC's family name, and Li Ren is the given name. Also Viswanathan is the family name of the former WC and Anand is the given name.
They channeled Tal v. Nethzmetdinov levels of magic in this game. What an absolute masterpiece.
I've been watching you for more than a year now, and I'm starting to see some great moves. Thank you Levy for helping me become better at chesd
Levy never fails to think baseball isn't a real sport
It is? No way 🤯
That was the funniest part of the video
Him talking about chess as a sport then saying baseball isn't a sport lol
I know it's satire but its hilarious
Well people say the craziest thing behind a mouse and keyboard. It’s funny he doesn’t like this way in person. 😂😂😂
Cricket isn't a real sport either.
@@deathwishunicorn2895 To be frank, hitting a 100 MPH fastball is one of the harder things to do in sports.
They're all sports in their own ways. Direct competition between two people or teams.
Even if he show up to defend, his lack of practice could see a lopsided defeat and that would be a shame as well.
Maybe he's like "I'm the world chess champion, what else is there to do, I'm out, peace"
well he was gonna quit chess and then he won and all the attention really got to him so he wanted to quit anyway i hope he doesnt defend his title unless hes gonna start playing again
An excellent game! Also a lot of credit due to Bai Jinshi for putting up an incredible fight.
Levy never fails to drop engagement bait like “baseball, which is not a real sport” 😂
what's bait about it? it's true
Ding got sent to summer camp
This is rare footage of Levy not having Magnus as a main idea on video
wow found this video a day after Hikaru uploads it
Liren never fails to ding
EPIC
"Base ball which is not a real sport " 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ding was a champ for real 😢❤
He ain't dead dawg
he was
welp
FRFR
I was waiting for you to upload so I can fall asleep. Your videos are great to fall asleep to
i love when gothamchess pumps me full of his juicy content
ayoo
aaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
💀💀💀
By using his BIG BLACK............uhh.. chessboard
yoooooooooo
Is it just me or when Gotham says Ding Liren it sounds like dingly-ren.
Levy never fails to make 3 excellent videos in a row
He does when he makes 4 in a row
@@popolekupasupport2246no because when he does 4 in a row there’s also 3 in a row inside of those 4
Only if it means not 4. Because mentioning 3 is correct. Before that was Magnus bots. Major fail.
@@divergentlife493I chose the number 3 carefully 😶
If I accidentally won the classical title I would secretly retire to a pleasant tropical island for coconut shy.
I love Ding Liren, really hope he comes back and defends his title.
"Baseball which is not a real sport" -Levy Rozman
I feel so abd for levy after watching this. I hope he gets some help and can recover from these tragic times after winning the chess campionship.
Levi, Sacrificed THE BASEBALL 🤣
What an amazing immortal! Not to mention his clutch time scramble against ian too
Ding went into hiding to become great clickbait for Levy😎
The 3rd thing we're gonna do today, is post a comment on how Levy never fails to fail.
The 4th thing we are going to do like your comment because it’s so original.
It took Levy an entire full length 60 second minute to mention Magnus. My boy is recovering 🤝🏻
Hey Levy, about the name thing. You almost had it right, but I just want to clarify. Bai is the family name, Jinshi is the first name. So Bai Jinshi is actually the correct way to say it in Chinese too. I think it's extra confusing because some people will follow the English convention of putting the first name first when saying their name in English, like Arjun Erigaisi (Arjun is his first name), whereas others will stick to the same ordering as their native language even when saying their name in English, like Viswanathan Anand (Anand is his first name). So it's tough for sure, and I applaud you for giving it your best! Hope you can take something away from my comment. Cheers bud!
What happened to Ding Liren? Simple: Imposter Syndrome. He is World Champion, but he knows he's not really World Champion. That messed up his head.
What a banger of a video, thanks so much levy you made my day !!
"Handcuffed to play it." let's say it without saying it.
I literally just googled this yesterday - after watching Magnus win recently with all the top guys - I wondered about Ding
I hate to be that guy but one minor complaint. I miss the old style where since we are watching the game for Ding, we watch from Ding's perspective. I just think it's easier to follow along with the players ideas if we watch from their perspective.
Viewers never fail to write nonsense comments for 5 minutes of attention like total clowns
Bai needed therapy after this game 😂
Idk but I'd assume he's still Dinging his Liren
This man went on a spiritual journey😂
Levy never fails to lure audience
It was slightly disconcerting to see the end of the world championship. When Ian Nepomniachtchi realised he had lost he almost lost physical coordination and was stumbling around, and the main emotion Ding Liren showed was relief. Relief that it was over. No joy, no smiles. These championships seem truly quite the ordeal for the participants. I do hope Ding Liren comes back, but if he chooses not to then I wish him a career that brings him the joy he deserves. 💗
it is an ordeal, very stressful, but, its the world championship.
Lol wr r u guys ,when magnus didn't defend the title,u guys were blaming magnus ,how can u feel sad about ding,he is not playing since from 8 months,magnus even after his championships he was playing all tournaments unlike ur ding.The true champ is magnus.
As the world champ now, he has his automatic seat at the table. I could totally see him not playing in public much or publicly available matches just to make it difficult for the next contender to prepare for the next world title.
😂
That’s not how anything works. Where else can he get better other than elite tournaments?
@@el_kasztanejlo8555 Well what I just said fits a lot closer the the reality of the situation. OR... what I didn't say, Ding is an introvert that has difficulty handling the spotlight especially since the former champ didn't even play, he might feel some imposter syndrome and any losses will just exacerbate that feeling.
@@Wellorepchess players are used to losing games. He could still show up and Berling everyone out there. There is nothing introvert about the guy who’s name on lichess is “chef’s house” lmao
This is why Magnus won't even bother to play candidates. It is like: the guy is retiring soon. Beating him up is boring.
All jokes aside, Ding and Nepo broken under pressure is the proof of how greate Mangus is as a world champion.
Leve never fails to ding.
ding ding ding!!!
22:34 I don't understand is the statement that the knight has to stop guarding the bishop. It has to stop attacking h8 and defending the h6 square.
Levy never fails to fill me up with his videos.😊
By using his Gigantic.........uhhh...Brain
damnn
4:00 common win Levy🗣🗣🗣
Seriously though, I hope he makes his return soon.
Hi, Ding was in hiding.
If you are calling it jinshi bai, then you should be calling liren ding. The surname is always by itself and always one syllable. Unless it's some shit like zhuge Liang but that is exception.
yeah was going to say that. Ding Liren is also Chinese so same logic applies lol
The issue is that from what I understand his name might be Jin Shibai instead of Bai Jinshi
Not according to his wiki page. It lists his name as 白金石. Bai Jin Shi. So my original comment was correct.
That duolingo is looking menacingly at Levy
Levy never fails to rub me the right way
Uh oh...is this 1972? A world chess champion has vanished again?!
Ding never fails to Liren
Levy casually roasting baseball and I love it lol
He got a life outside of chess. Something neither Levy nor almost any other chess master can contemplate.
bro what, I can't tell if this is rage bait☠️
I mean, Alireza also went into fashion
He is announced to play at Tata Steel Tournament in the Netherlands which starts next Friday. We'll see what happens.
Am so glad you are here to explain this to us, I never advanced in chess without your help
baseball out here catching strays out of fucking nowhere
I like how Levy said that baseball isn’t a sport while he says chess is XD
If I played that game I'd die happy.
Ding at his best is a combination of Morphy and Capablanca.
Levy never fails to fill me up with happiness
Levy if you’re highlighting a certain player could you show it from their perspective
What a great game by Ding, thank you levy for this video
"I hope we get something out of him" levy milking the cow 😂

@@alexz4752 Counterpoint: The Seer
@@seamusthatsthedog4819 I've gotten Bring the Sun as a counterpoint once or twice, funny enough. I need the patience to sit through a full Swans trilogy album. I made it all the way through the Glowing Man while being mostly asleep and most of the way through To Be Kind, both over a year ago. Might give The Seer another shot soon, it might be time.
The man got what he wanted and was just like "Peace." And disapeared.
I don’t know why but Ding has always been one of my favorite players, not first, but he really has my respect.
Ding’s been playing online, he just has the world’s slowest internet connection. His moves will appear next month.
Levy you made me get back into chess and love to more than ever
My dad plays ping pong which is mostly popular in China, the a lot of Chinese players quits the game when they achieve world champion and I think that's what happened to Ding
