However, Ding told the press conference following the match, "I was totally in shock when I realized I made a blunder." I will keep playing. I played the best tournament of the year, I think. It could have been better, but losing yesterday's luck is a fair result. I'm not disappointed. "
Notably, in April, the 18-year-old made history by winning the FIDE Candidates Chess Tournament 2024, becoming the youngest person ever to challenge Ding Liren for the world title।
