World Chess Championship: Game 14 and Tiebreaks

In China we call Ding, Ren Ge, namely Big brother Ren lol. I almost had a heart attack on the final game, since it was so exciting and thrilling. Ian would get a upper hand in 5+3, but thankfully Ding stopped him on the 25+10 =). Ian is a good opponent
as well

Can you explain "dishonest side of things" please? It's a bit vague at the moment.

Carlsen: some nice interviews took just after the championship to be found on a website called chess dot com. The articles ares free on that commercial site.
Congratulations to Ding Liren! Even though I was rooting for Ian Nepomnyashchi, I'm still very happy for Ding! The games turned out to be very interesting, it was very interesting to watch the game of professionals.
Thank you!
