GM Ding Liren said at the 2024 FIDE World Championship opening press conference he’d been preparing for just three weeks. A slip of the tongue? No! In an exclusive interview with FM Mike Klein the reigning world champion confirmed he meant it, though his team, including „very fun guy“ GM Richard Rapport, had been working on ideas in advance.
After the opening press conference in Singapore on Saturday, Ding sat down with Chesscom and Klein to talk more about the match that starts Monday.
