Then we use Baye's Formula to update our values for Ding's form now that we have see that game 1 result: this is the Bayesian update, and we can run this after every new result to refine our estimates. 3/

Then we need to estimate the likelihood of a game one win *conditional* on each state. Say for exmaple that prime Ding that result was 35% likely, meh Ding 15% and poor form Ding only 5% 2/

Which "version" of Ding Liren are we witnessing at the world chess championship after a confident win with Black in game one? Let's learn about Bayesian Inference! (with no maths) Say we model the probabilities of the form of Ding with: 10% chance he's in prime form, 40% average, 50% poor form 1/
