Ding Liren became China's first world chess champion on Sunday after a rapid-play tie-break victory over Russia's Ian Nepomniachtchi in Kazakhstan.

Ding takes over as world champion from Norway's Magnus Carlsen, who chose not to defend his title after a 10-year reign. He and Nepomniachtchi were level after 14 games played under classical rules earlier this month.

The greatest world championship match of all time. It was intense from the go! So many ups and downs. Let’s see if Magnus comes out of the woods next year. Who in my opinion is the second greatest chess player of all time after Paul Morphy.

Very very few Chinese people play western Chess, in China most people only play Weiqi and Chinese chess.
Western chess is like English language to us, Chinese chess and Weixi are our mother tongue Chinese.
