Ding Liren becomes the 17th World Chess Champion
„Self-pinning for immortality — congrats, Ding!!“ said Magnus Carlsen as Ding Liren took over his World Championship title. Ding found one last chance to play for a win in the final rapid tiebreak game, just when everyone was sure we were heading to blitz. It was the end of an incredible story for Ding, who never led until Ian Nepomniachtchi resigned in the final moment of the match.
