Gukesh won the 2024 World Chess Championship after only 12 of the 14 games were played. He had 3 victories and no losses. Ding Liren never played for the World Title ever again. Gukesh lost the title in the following 2026 cycle to GM GothamChess.
No problem, gotham. As a time traveler from the future, I can say that the 2024 world chess championship was a great match. It was a close race but the 2024 world champion won out in the end.
1:20 One example of a player playing against a coach is Thomas Muller from Bayern Munich against the current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso. They used to be on the same Bayern Munich team
no wait, to make the example work like Gukesh vs Gajewski here, you need to go find one of the games where some current Leverkusen players coached by Xabi faced him on the field. Say for example, Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. Bayern Munich, 19th March 2017, with current Leverkusen winger Jonas Hofmann on the field for Borussia, and Xabi Alonso for Bayern.
The world championship hasn’t ended. It’s now 2047 and Gukesh and Ding are still playing 3+2. Good news is that Nepo is waiting to play the winner for the 2026 championship.
@keithg460 "milking" a topic = extracting as much content as possible from a given topic. A common comment is "Levy never fails to milk [insert player]," but it was rearranged for a joke comment.
A tiny correction: Gukesh is the third youngest player to ever become grandmaster, which makes him even more impressive than what you described. The fourth youngest is Yağız Kaan Erdoğmuş from Turkey, who became eligible for the title about a month ago.

@@COLLECTIVESGROWTH totally agreed. Gukesh seems like a beast to me now. I can totally imagine him being debated as the greatest of all time in future. Still early days though.
I gotta say I'm kinda rooting for Ding in the championship. I feel like everyone kinda talks about him like they talk about Nepo, "ohh, he's good but he's not great, he kinda just lucked his way into the championship, he's an asterisk on the title". And yknow, if Gukesh stomps him, Gukesh 100% deserves to take the title, he's gonna be a legend for sure. But idk, I hope Ding wins it for another year just to prove that no, he isn't a fluke, he's him, he's on the fabi/hikaru/nepo level with the best of them for sure.
it's gonna be a spicy teenage indian vs the long-suffering chinese veteran who "lucked" out of the terrible covid pandemic into being the world champ. i think both are great players and have their own insane stories, against the backdrop of the two most populous countries with their own insane stories rising in the chess world in recent history.
It's tough to get behind when the "World Championship" is between the sixth and seventh highest rated players in the world. At least when Magnus was champ there wasn't a doubt that you were playing the best in the world.
@@friendrequestsent4459 world championship is a tournament, that decides the world champion and not the best in the world. many might link these, but in chess, its different. magnus semi retired from classical chess. he is not in the competition. so during world championship cycle, he is not the best, but fabi is. if fabi didnt win, its his fault, not gukesh or dings.
