World Chess Championship: D Gukesh Plays Out Easy Draw, Scores Remain Tied

Indian challenger D Gukesh yet again proved equal to the task with defending champion Ding Liren of China as the 10th game of the World Chess Championship match between them ended in a draw without much excitement in Singapore on Saturday. It was by far the easiest of the game with black pieces for Gukesh as the position played itself out of a London system game wherein Ding Liren took no risks and was also apparently happy with the drawn result. The seventh consecutive draw -- and eighth of the match -- left both players on an identical tally of 5 points each, still shy of 2.5 points in order to win the championship.

D Gukesh Beats Ding Liren To Take Lead In World Chess Championship

Young Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh on Sunday took a giant step towards the World Chess Championship title by defeating defending champion Ding Liren in the 11th game, taking a 6-5 lead in the contest after a spate of draws. With just three games to go, Gukesh now has a crucial lead in the 14-round classical format match. The Indian started off with the Knight move on his first turn and was surprised as Liren went for a reverse Benoni opening, making it look like it was an over-the-board decision rather than a planned one. After five moves itself Gukesh had a lead of over an hour on the clock and it is never too easy to recover in crunch games.
