Keene, Raymond (13 May 2023). "Shalom Alekhine: Ding joins the chess greats". The Article. Archived from the original on 16 May 2023. Retrieved 16 May 2023. It's reassuring to see that even FIDÉ now subscribes to the canonical view of who has and who has not been world champion. By openly conceding that the Chinese Grandmaster Ding Liren is the 17th champion, FIDÉ have confirmed that the true line of succession is Kasparov (13th champion), Kramnik (14), Anand (15), Carlsen (16) and now Ding Liren (17).
