I enjoy this situation: Liren on dropping out of FIDE ratings list

Ex-world chess champion Ding Liren was recently removed from the FIDE ratings list after playing too few games to be considered an 'eligible' player for the list. However, he said, "I quite enjoy my current situation." "What I mean is...being a player with an inactive rating...who seldom participates in elite invitationals. I'm enjoying this rare moment of leisure," Liren added.
