China’s Ding Liren was crowned on Sunday, April 30, as the 17th world chess champion in a tense match against Russian-born Ian Nepomniachtchi in Astana, Kazakhstan, in the last chapter of an odds-defying sequence of events.
“One Ding to rule em all,” fellow grandmaster Anish Giri wrote on Twitter in honor of the new champion. “The moment Ian resigned the game was a very emotional moment, I cannot control my feelings,” the new world champion said in a press conference. The Chinese grandmaster takes the crown from five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway, who defeated Nepomniachtchi in 2021 but announced in July he would not defend the title again this year.
