Ding Liren hasn't lost a single game, he demolished Fabiano Caruana, the 2018 world title challenger, won impeccably a playoff match from the world champion, and created what Garry Kasparov called a "positional masterpiece" against Anish Giri. A decent week at work.
The winner of 2019 #SinquefieldCup Ding Liren with his trophy. Congratulations again to the deserving winner!
