Ding seems to be his last name, so it is Liren Ding. Hao Wang. And so on.

Ding ding, who's there?
Chess monster
Chess monster who?
Nvm monsters don't ding the bell...

What can I say, keep going guys! Good start for everyone, next round you'll have a great success

Ok, thank you

I am DEEPLY confused by the spoiler people... If you weren't expecting people to talk about something I get it, but this is a chess website, you're surprised to find chess news here? The way we've been covering chess news for years and years?

Fair enough. To be honest with you, you're unlikely to get this option anytime soon because we try very hard to keep complexity down and not add extra settings whenever possible.

Instead I made a user style that will remove the timeline for you. It can be quickly turned on and off with a browser extension.

Install a userstyle manager like Stylus (not "Stylish") and install this:

userstyles.world/style/5259/hide-lichess-timeline

It should work for any browser. Feel free to PM if its not working.

Not sure what you mean by "last," but Ding is his familial name, Liren is his given name. So if you mixed and matched, fine. Many call Hikaru Hikaru, Magnus Magnus, Alireza Alireza. But Ding has always been known as Ding, so if you're calling all the players by their familial names, Ding should also be Ding.

Seems like there is a fair bit of ignorance about this — Gotham was also calling Ding by his given name Liren, all of a sudden.

Now you say the opposite of your previous post.
