  1. The moment Vaishali Rameshbabu won the Candidates Tournament for the right to challenge Ju Wenjun for World Championship. Absolutely amazing feat!

  2. ‘Javokhir Sindarov got a bit lucky’: Germany’s No. 1 Vincent Keymer on ‘critical moment’ in Candidates 2026 win | Exclusive | Chess News

  3. 🇺🇸 Fabiano Caruana and 🇺🇿 Javokhir Sindarov are leading the open section by a full point at the end of round 3 in the candidates tournament and have a good shot at challenging 🇮🇳 Gukesh Dommaraju for the world chess championship.

    🇰🇿 Bibisara Assaubayeva and ♟️ Kateryna Lagno lead the rest of the women by half a point. Both will hope to face the current champion 🇨🇳 居文君 (Ju Wenjun).

  4. Gukesh D as world chess champion! It's been a very exciting match to follow.

  5. Unbelievable! Ding collapses and 18 years old Gukesh wins to become the youngest World Chess Champion in history. Not the most satisfactory way for the match to end, but I guess the tension just got too much for Ding.

    Well done to both players for giving us such an enthralling event.

  6. That'll be it for me, I have tiredness creep up on me. To me it looks like it should be a draw, though Gukesh has some practical chances, though not many. So I will find the result out in the morning.

  7. Main takeaway from this World Chess Championship? Learn how to draw endgames when a pawn down.

  8. Tie breaks will be tomorrow (if needed).

    Four games of 15+10
    Two games of 10+5
    Two games of 3+2
    Then draw lots each game for 3+2 until someone wins a game

    So no armageddon game, assuming the FIDE rules haven't been changed recently.

  9. Maybe it's going to trade down to a fairly level ending here?

    I'm off to check on the tie break rules. That's tempting fate :D

  10. Ok, I've been playing some chess today but back now to a tense game. I have to admit that I don't like these Catalan positions for Black. There's a lot of latent energy in White's position. Still, Gukesh is not me, and while I think I prefer White, it isn't by much.

  11. Last game of the World Championship about to start. If this one ends in a draw we have play offs. Will either player make an effort to win? I doubt it, but you never know.

    Ding is White and I'll go with 1.d4 as I've chosen that every time so far...law of averages says you have to be right sometime!

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  12. They made the time control and another 30 minutes is added to their time. It is a difficult position for me to judge. I still like Black’s queen side pawn, but White is definitely more active.

    Time for bed here. Could be any result when I wake tomorrow.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  13. Well I still feel good about Black’s queen side pawn majority but time could yet be a factor. Ding is under 15 minutes with about 1 minute pee move, while Gukesh has about 25 minutes.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  14. I'm happy to admit that I don't see what Gukesh has a plan in this position. His pieces seem wrong, he can't play the d5 break without some serious preparation, while Black has easy development and a queen side pawn majority. I think I'd rather be Black in the current position after 13 moves.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  15. Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Gukesh has played a couple of non critical type moves and Ding goes into deep thought using nearly half of his time already. We're on move 8 out of 40.

  16. French, for the third time in the match. Ding is channelling his inner Botvinnik.

  17. Two games to go in the World Chess Championship. Today Gukesh is White and I am guessing he will start with 1.d4 as it's been working OK for him.

    It will be interesting to see if they play safe and head for play off's or if either player goes for it.

  18. CW: Chess result spoiler

    Ding did win and we are back to level score in the match. This is exactly the same as when he won the title against Nepomniachtchi. He was behind three times in that match but drew level, most notably in game 12, just like yesterday.

    Two games remain, then tie breaks if necessary. After a dour middle of the match, it has come alive!

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  19. What an up and down game today in the World Chess Championship. It looks like Ding will hold this endgame and Gukesh will be disappointed he didn't take his chances earlier.

  24. 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!

  29. Ding had the guts and the fighting spirit to play for a win in a basically drawn position, and not take the repetition that would have brought the Blitz phase of the tie-break. Bravo! What a courage in such a decisive situation! #NepoDing #Chess #WorldChessChampionship

  39. If #Ding wins the #worldchesschampionship without passing #Nepo’s rating, and #Carlsen retains his ELO, will that make #Nepo the 3rd best #chess player in spite of having the 2nd highest rating? 🙃
