Ding Liren made history for China when he became the country's first male chess player to win the world championship title.

Ding, 30, defeated Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia 2.5-1.5 in a tiebreaker at the 2023 International Chess Federation World Championship in Astana, Kazakhstan.

Ding's title is a dream coming true not only for him, but generations of Chinese chess players, past and present.
