I find it very sad from him.
A championship match between Nepo and Ding doesn´t feel right. Doesn´t matter who wins, because that person is not the best chess player, so Magnus´ decision devalues the title!
I think it is his fucking job to defend his title, even if he doesn´t want to.

Well, for historical reasons it'll be way better if he defends his title but other than that I don't think he has the obligation to.
He doesn't want to do it just for the sake of others or history.
He wants to do it only because he wants to.
He mention recently in another podcast that he might play another world championship in the future.
