Ding is in fact the sole player that can make this not statement not true, as he is a candidate with a known positive score against Magnus. A couple WCCs ago Magnus said Ding was the only player that he wasn't sure he could win against -- but that he wouldn't make it, after a poor showing in the candidates at the time.
Anyways, I don't know who would win in a Carlsen - Ding WCC. Nobody does. If the game statistics are to be believed, then Ding would.
- Andrew_nenakhov 3y agoPrior to previous championship match Nepo also had positive score vs Carlsen.
- hgsgm 3y agoAnd Carlsen attended that match.
- FreakLegion 3y agoDing has a losing record against Magnus in every time control.
- rabite 3y agoThanks for the correction. He had a winning record back when Magnus said that quote, and I didn't check the current standings.
