Ding Liren, a lawyer from China is playing against Ian Nepomniachtchi to claim the title of the world champion in chess.

Ding was behind Nepo for most of the matches, but has just broken into a draw with the score at 6-6 with two more games to go before tie-breakers, which Ding has expressed a high level of confidence about.

The photos above were taken over a 20 minute period after Nepo realized he lost the match to Ding

kinda disappointed magus didnt defend the tittle i would have loved to see ding and him play. nepo just doesnt have the stamina for this sort of thing his clearly brilliant but his mental state clearly and visually deteriorates in long matches like this.
