This was a great match overall, with a very dramatic/surprising end.

But I disagree with other comments that are describing the overall championship in a favorable light.

To me, this was some of the most boring chess I've watched. Ding was certainly trying to force draws in every game, which makes for some very unexciting lines. It's been suggested that Ding felt he had better chances in rapid formats, so forcing draws makes sense in that light. But it led to some extremely uncreative chess imo.

Reminds me of many of the Magnus vs Fabi games in 2018.
