The answer turns out to be here. Nepo will take Ding's place and play Arjun.
I wish Ding would quit this disappearing act. He's the World Champion. We need to see him play. Women's World Champion Ju is out and about and was competing in India.
I feel the same, iris.
I have since seen several posts and news items saying he is ill. I wonder if the effort burned him out? Or maybe he developed a serious condition out of the blue. That can happen.
There was supposed to be a match today with Ding vs Arjun, in the Speed Chess Championship. It has disappeared from the schedule. What's up with that?
