Gukesh's Win from the Indian Perspective
This is what joy looks like.
If you’re feeling down and need an emotional boost, this is just the ticket. (I tried to cue it up to the moment before Ding played 55.Kf2, but couldn’t get the embed to work correctly. Scroll to the 4:01:37 mark and start from there.)
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be cheered for like that at least once in your life?
You may also want to watch later in the video, when they’re joined on the stream by the former World Champion, Viswanathan Anand, as well as three of Gukesh’s seconds who were working together in Spain: Radoslaw Wojtaszek, Pentala Harikrishna, and Vincent Keymer.
So the commentators were very excited and so happy that Gukesh was winning toward the end there. Still during the game, raising their fists in the air. In my opinion that’s extremely unprofessional of the commentating team- at the very least during the game they should not take sides (excitement is one thing, clearly rooting for one of the players is another).
