World Chess Championship: Gukesh Lets Ding Liren Escape With A Draw
FIDE World Chess Championship Final: Indian Grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju frittered away a strong positional and time advantage as reigning champion Ding Liren of China put up a strong defence and escaped with a draw in Game 7 of their FIDE World Chess Championship Final match at Resorts World Sentosa here on Tuesday.
In a game in which fortunes swung like a pendulum especially for Gukesh as he had a golden opportunity of winning the game and taking a one-point advantage in the 14-game encounter in which the player reaching 7.5 points will claim the title and also the lion's share of the prize fund of US$2.5 million.
However, Gukesh missed a couple of strong move sequences that could have won him the game and then landed in severe time trouble as the Chinese Grandmaster traded pieces to steer the game to draw. Ding was in what he himself described as a "hopeless position" but took credit for finding an "interesting idea" that saved the day for him.
