#DingGukesh Rd3
Take a look at the photo! 👁‍🗨👁‍🗨That does not describe to you the details of the game but you know - without words - who won and who lost.
"Today I just managed to outplay my opponent" - said the winner. And that is the point, in every meaning.
Gukesh, again as in RD1, surprised the World Champion. Later when Ding had a good but complicated situation went to the wrong path. And from there on the challenger grabbed the opportunity and went all the way through winning the game and leveling the match. That was the first time #Gukesh won against #Ding in a classical game. After Rd3 the result is 1,5:1,5
2morrow is a day off, we will be back on Friday at 17:00 Singapore / 2:30 PM Mumbai / 10:00 Budapest / 4 AM New York
Today's game with the commentary and the press conference👇

BONE-CHILLING ⚡

The reason you're alive today is this man.

On Sept 26, 1983, he had 15 minutes to start World War III.

He refused.

His punishment?

• Forced retirement
• Demotion
• Case "classified" for 15 years

Why? Too "shameful" for Soviet pride... (thread)🧵

A thread to remind us of Ding’s impressive rise to the top 🧵:
