AND NEW!!! Gukesh D is the new World chess champion. And the youngest ever! I love Ding, but he did not do much for chess in his time as champion, unfortunately. Gukesh, like Magnus before, will be a much better representative for chess

Ding Liren takes Game 1. Played some phenomenal chess. Very relaxed (well, until close to the end) and looked very much like the Ding of old. Gukesh at the looked crushed
