"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.

The 'Blunder' That Cost Ding Liren World Championship Title, Left D Gukesh Stunned

Usually a master of close finishes, Chinese Grandmaster and defending world chess champion, Ding Liren, succumbed to the pressure of a high-stakes game. The result meant Ding failed to defend his title, allowing his opponent, GM D Gukesh from India, to become the youngest-ever winner of the World Chess Championships. When it seemed that the final game was going to end in a draw and the tiebreaks were unavoidable, Ding, in a surprising turn of events, shot himself in the foot. Gukesh, however, didn't disappoint.
