FIDE World Rapid Team Championship: India's Gukesh Dommaraju defeated reigning champion Ding Liren on time in Game 3 of their 14-game match for the 2024 World Chess Championship at the Resorts World Sentosa here on Wednesday, capitalising on an excellent opening preparation to trap one of the Chinese GMs minor pieces.

It was plain sailing for the 18-year-old challenger as he gained a big advantage on the board as well on the clock. He had a one-hour advantage after the 13th move.

With this win, Gukesh tied the score at 1.5-1.5 after three games. He had lost the first game and drawn the second before striking back with white pieces in the third.
