Gukesh comes in top form at the event. He won the team gold and the individual gold at the Chess Olympiad 2024 and is also gravitating around 2800 ELO. Ding Liren has been shaky in his performance, having a silent Sinquefield Cup and a not so strong Olympiad. Exactly at the Olympiad Ding Liren – Gukesh game was in the card, but it did not happen.

It took Wei Yi at least “two to three days” to recover from what was the game of the Olympiad and one of the toughest games he’s ever played. From an equal endgame, the Chinese GM watched in horror as India’s Gukesh carved a masterpiece of a win against him. Originally, it was supposed to be the much-awaited Ding Liren vs Gukesh World Championship prelude. Wei Yi told Hindustan times about this game.
“Ding was feeling terrible after that loss with White (the previous day) to Le Quang Liem. Of course, we still wanted him to play (against India),” Wei, China’s highest-ranked player, told HT in an interview, “We asked him to get some sleep and hoped he would wake up on the rest day, feeling better. But the next day he still wasn’t feeling okay and said no.”
“I’m happy because I think Ding is in much better shape now than before. I saw that he was trying to win games (at the Olympiad). I hope he can recover as soon as possible,” Wei Yi, who also added, “Right now it looks like Gukesh has better chances. But there’s still over a month to go for the match. Anything is possible. “.
