| derfderf: I am a total Ding fan. I followed him since 2015 and always thought he would be a WC challenger someday.
And I also wanted him to be WC, I was so happy that he got it.
But realistically speaking, even though I don’t want to admit. Carlsen is better and more stable in his play.

Jul-17-15 Wei Yi vs L Bruzon Batista, 2015
| |
| derfderf: Be1 is easy to see at the end. But it was difficult to see when Wei played rxf7.
I think what's amazing about Be1 is that Wei foresaw this that many moves ago and all the pieces seemed to fit perfectly like a jigsaw at the end |

Jul-31-13 Topalov vs Kasparov, 1998
| |
| derfderf: 42 ... Rff2 43. Ne3 and black is still in trouble
If 43 ... Rfe2 44 c7 would win.
I guess Kasparov is hoping white would blunder with 43. c7 Bxe4! 44. c8=q rxg2+ and black will have perpetual |
