Congratulations @chessvaishali . She showed excellent preparation and resilience. Took the blows & delivered the punches. A proud moment for Indian chess with two Indians to cheer for in the World Championships. Personally proud that our @WacaChess mentee will now have a shot at the world title. Being from Chennai is just another flex !
@Tanisha46394055 @Tirth_1610 When I joined Amazon, my relatives thought I’m a delivery boy. And when I worked at Salesforce, girls on bumble used to think I’m a salesman 🫠
As a human, my heart goes out for Ding. A chess player can understand how bad it feels to make a trivial blunder when there are such high stakes… Poor thing!
This is not how it works. Watching the game from the outside and pointing out mistakes (even if you don't use engine) has very little to do with practical chess play.
You should compare their games with commentators games, not with commentators comments.

Seven young friends out celebrating a birthday, drinking, and reveling, made a late-night decision to go for a drive.
Past midnight, a BMW overtakes them. Bruised egos, adrenaline surging—they decide to chase it down. Foot to the floor, speeds racing to 150, maybe 170. An intersection approaches, but there’s no intention of slowing down.
Then, suddenly, a truck looms from the right, crossing the intersection. Most of the truck is already through, but not enough. They plow right under its last section, and in a sickening instant, the car’s roof is torn off. So are three heads—flung 40 meters, reduced to only faces, hair, fragments of skull. Not a clean decapitation; something far worse. The other three are crushed in the twisted wreckage.
Imagine the sheer impact—a five-star safety-rated car transformed into scrap metal.
Accidents happen every day, but the Dehradun incident is different. It’s one of the most gruesome, gut-wrenching, blood-curdling accidents many of us have ever heard about.
No one deserves a death like that. No parent deserves that shock. Let this tragedy serve as a lesson for all of us.
