Nepo's revenge! #TataSteelChess
It only took two games to get his first victory against Ding Liren since the World Championship (the first one, in the #SuperbetChessClassic, ended in a draw).

Congratulations David Navara on winning the European Blitz Championship! 🥳 🏆
It was a pleasure to have him as a commentator during #NepoDing, it is an even greater pleasure to see him win such a prestigious tournament!
Accuracy of play across World #Chess #Championship matches by #lichess. The #NepoDing match was a bit less accurate than the last three according to the computer but they also avoided deeply prepared lines.
Here's the updated centipawn loss analysis in World Chess Championships, from the first official edition to #NepoDing. Our opinion (https://lichess.org/blog/ZFf7JRAAACUA86BW/world-chess-championship-2023-reactions-statistics-and-impressions) is that both players were willing to play "inaccurately" to force their opponent into complex positions. What's yours?
Yet another month of records at #Lichess! 🎊

RT @FIDE_chess: Ding Liren: "I'm quite relieved. The moment Ian resined the game was a very emotional moment. I couldn't control my feelings. I know myself, I will cry and burst into tears. It was a tough tournament for me. I would like to thank my friends." #NepoDing

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!
¡Increíble victoria de Ding, yendo siempre detrás en el Match! Primer campeón del mundo chino de la historia, nada será igual en el mundo del ajedrez y tampoco en China 🇨🇳

Ding prevailed over Ian Nepomniachtchi in the last rapid tie-break game and became FIDE World Champion!
♟️ Since everybody is talking about #Ding Liren being the First Chinese World Chess Champion - and I see that the press conference repeats this - it would be more accurate to say that he is the First Chinese *Male* World Chess Champion.
In 1991, Xie Jun defeated Maia Chiburdanidze and became the first Chinese Women's Chess Champion, ending over a decade of dominance by Soviet players. She kept the title until 1996.
