Liren Ding’s performance in 2024 Freestyle Chess is more evidence that 9LX players are more honest than chess players. ( 2024Feb )

Part1 – Standings

Last place in both the rapid round robin…

…and the classical knockout

Like wins / draws / losses are ( 0W, 1D, 6L ) and ( 0W, 2D, 4L ). Liren has never won a classical or rapid 9LX game. Liren is the exact opposite of Liren’s corresponding member in my good guys vs bad guys list Nepo – the top player in an equal combination of classical 9LX & rapid 9LX ! And as for knockouts, I know I’ve said knockouts don’t really determine 2nd or 3rd places, but well I believe they certainly determine 1st & last places, at least in 4 players if they do 3rd place match and also eg here & in 2022 rapid ( not classical ) WFRCC w/ 8 players where they do Xth place matches.

Part2 – Sergey

It’s so sad like making fun of Liren would be adding insult to injury or kicking someone when they’re down, like how Sergey Karjakin ( indeed on the good guys list ) made fun of Garry Kasparov’s ( indeed on the bad guys list ) 0.5/9 in the 2022 St Louis Chess9LX. ( Also I know Sergey made fun of Garry because Sergey hates Garry more for political reasons than for chess reasons, but well all 3 of Sergey, Garry & Judit Polgar are Jewish, sooo yeahhhhh… )

Part3 – Ok so why?

You could say like ‘Oh Liren doesn’t have experience in 9LX ( as if that’s a thing ) and so sucks.’ But well for me it’s a 3rd variable like evil players are less inclined to 9LX hence both why Liren had never played and why Liren is last place.

But seriously, it’s probably related to how Liren was supposed to retire from chess ( I guess chess1 in both classical & rapid / blitz but well probably even for 9LX ) had Nepo won 2023 classical WCC but still WOW.

Maybe having Liren’s stupid list of role model players helps you in chess but hurts you in 9LX. Lol.
