"Suspicious, Requires Investigation": Ding Liren Accused Of 'Deliberately' Losing To D Gukesh
Defending world chess champion Ding Liren was made to rue the 'blunder' he made in the 14th and final game against India's D Gukesh on Thursday. Liren's error of judgment turned out to be a costly one as Gukesh pounced on the mistake to become the youngest world champion in the history of the game. While most of the chess fraternity is elated to see the 18-year-old Gukesh make history, Russian Chess Federation chief Andrei Filatov has accused China's Liren of losing the game on purpose.
