One year ago, Ding Liren became the World Champion! 👑♟️

The World Chess Championship 2023 in Astana, Kazakhstan, saw 🇨🇳 Ding Liren face Ian Nepomniachtchi. Ding clinched victory in the tiebreaks, becoming the World Champion and the first Chinese player to hold the title. Jointly with Women's World Champion Ju Wenjun, China became the holder of both the open and women's world titles.

🗣️ In the final press conference of the match, after the very dramatic last game of the tiebreaks that gave Ding the title, he stated: "The match reflects the deepest of my soul."
