Arjun Erigaisi, who has recently crossed 2800 ELO, has a word of advice for Gukesh before his World Chess Championship match with Ding Liren. Erigaisi acknowledges the bad form of Ding Liren, but still feels the Chinese player can be dangerous. Indian Sportstar quotes Erigaisi, “If I were Gukesh, I would not think that I am a huge favourite. I would just try to focus on my preparation and everything. And, I am sure, Gukesh is also doing the same […] If he (Ding) shows up anywhere close to his best, then it will be a really interesting match. And, as a chess fan, I hope that it happens. Not just me but any chess fan would hope that Ding shows up well and is able to play at his best, so that it will be an interesting match. […] But, as an Indian, I cannot help but support Gukesh.” Erigaisi adds, “I think it’s clear that Gukesh is the favourite. Both of them have their strengths and weaknesses. But Gukesh is a massive favourite. It’s more to do with Ding’s form because the Chinese has not been in good shape“
