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.
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.
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!
Levy never fails to ding

Walla walla way way
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: 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
Mr. Ding has finally stopped Chilling 🥶
I think he just started chilling finally
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.
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
"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
Ding is so cool, he is that guy who stays out of drama in school and tops the class
That is an exceptional game, thanks for the top notch commentary. Hope Ding Liren is back in action soon
6:56 I'll consider the Queen d2, seems like a helpful move.
Absolutely beautiful when i am trying to play like this I keep losing every game
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!
What a banger of a video, thanks so much levy you made my day !!
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.
That was crazy, could barely keep up! But then I’ve only just finished chapter 1 of your book, Levy! ❤
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.
An excellent game! Also a lot of credit due to Bai Jinshi for putting up an incredible fight.
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
Ding has been chillling for too long😔
I love when you do this "try to find only move" thing, I actually found some of the moves.
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.
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.
That game was incredible; thanks for the dragging it out of the archives for those of us not watching chess back then!
levy never fails to locate ding
1:02 And Hikaru is the world chess 960 champion. Don't forget that
😂😂
Levy casually roasting baseball and I love it lol
This man went on a spiritual journey😂
Am so glad you are here to explain this to us, I never advanced in chess without your help
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
"I hope we get something out of him" levy milking the cow 😂
The man got what he wanted and was just like "Peace." And disapeared.
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.
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.
"Base ball which is not a real sport " 🤣🤣🤣🤣
His comeback in those matches were insane
They channeled Tal v. Nethzmetdinov levels of magic in this game. What an absolute masterpiece.
"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
Ding is doing a Fischer.
The quick ragebait at baseball fans was A+
What an amazing immortal! Not to mention his clutch time scramble against ian too
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.
That duolingo is looking menacingly at Levy
"The scariest thing isn't a mad man bulldozing your yard; it's when a quiet man stops chilling"
- I made the quote up
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.
Ding got sent to summer camp
Perfect recap! Thank you for the show
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
@@FlagerMiszcz yeah nobody actually thinks he's the best. He's washed lmao.
I love Ding Liren, really hope he comes back and defends his title.
"Baseball which is not a real sport" -Levy Rozman
Bai needed therapy after this 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.
What a great game by Ding, thank you levy for this video
Levy is Ding, Ding is Levy
Lol that jab at baseball
Levy never fails to drop engagement bait like “baseball, which is not a real sport” 😂
what's bait about it? it's true
Ding was a champ for real 😢❤
He ain't dead dawg
he was
welp
FRFR
Bro roasted baseball for no reason lol
Levi, Sacrificed THE BASEBALL 🤣
This is rare footage of Levy not having Magnus as a main idea on video
i love when gothamchess pumps me full of his juicy content
ayoo
aaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
💀💀💀
By using his BIG BLACK............uhh.. chessboard
yoooooooooo
baseball out here catching strays out of fucking nowhere
Levy never fails to ding dong
I literally just googled this yesterday - after watching Magnus win recently with all the top guys - I wondered about Ding
Levy never fails to rub me the right way
Ding just doing the fischer
Ding really wanted Levy to say "THE ROOOK"
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!
Levy never fails to fill me up with happiness
I was waiting for you to upload so I can fall asleep. Your videos are great to fall asleep to
That is a brilliant game. Thanks for the summary.
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.
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 😶
Bro sacrificed his queen and all pawns but one
Ding never fails to be chilling!
Liren never fails to ding
EPIC
Seriously though, I hope he makes his return soon.
Hi, Ding was in hiding.
Leve never fails to ding.
ding ding ding!!!
Levy you made me get back into chess and love to more than ever
Love you man, thank you for work
As someone new to the chess world, what are some of the best ways to keep up with and get notified of all the bigger chess events, such as the one Ding Liren will be in?
Chessbase for chess news
Levy does lots of good recaps on this YT channel
Thirdly, you just sorta gotta learn what recurring chess events there are. On this Wikipedia page, near the very bottom is a list of recurring tournaments
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_strong_chess_tournaments
Levy never fails to lure audience
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
Ding done chillin', heatin' up atm. Ding reportding.
Levy never succeeds to fail.
Viewers never fail to write nonsense comments for 5 minutes of attention like total clowns
Idk but I'd assume he's still Dinging his Liren
People underestimate the effect of depression on Ding, which make sense as depression is always looked down upon which is quite sad
Ding’s been playing online, he just has the world’s slowest internet connection. His moves will appear next month.
Levy never fails to fill me up with his videos.😊
By using his Gigantic.........uhhh...Brain
damnn
