Nepo's revenge! #TataSteelChess
It only took two games to get his first victory against Ding Liren since the World Championship (the first one, in the #SuperbetChessClassic, ended in a draw).

Congratulations David Navara on winning the European Blitz Championship! 🥳 🏆
It was a pleasure to have him as a commentator during #NepoDing, it is an even greater pleasure to see him win such a prestigious tournament!
Here's the updated centipawn loss analysis in World Chess Championships, from the first official edition to #NepoDing. Our opinion (https://lichess.org/blog/ZFf7JRAAACUA86BW/world-chess-championship-2023-reactions-statistics-and-impressions) is that both players were willing to play "inaccurately" to force their opponent into complex positions. What's yours?

RT @FIDE_chess: Ding Liren: "I'm quite relieved. The moment Ian resined the game was a very emotional moment. I couldn't control my feelings. I know myself, I will cry and burst into tears. It was a tough tournament for me. I would like to thank my friends." #NepoDing

Congrarulations to Chinese Grand Master Ding on becoming World Chess Champion.
I've seen a few people saying he only won because the previous champion, Magnus Carlsen, declined to play. I say, you got to be in it to win it!
I've seen a few people saying that the quality of the match wasn't as great as with Magnus involved. Well, even Magnus said this match was a different dynamic to his matches, where players tried to close positions down rather than take risks to keep the position alive.
I can't understand why people who are nowhere near as good as Ding are taking shots at him less than a day after he scores the biggest win of his life. He's World Champion, he played better overall chess than his opponent during the match which was a spectacular delight for the fans.
Great work Ding, and congratulations on becoming the 17th World Chess Champion!
