World Champion Ding Liren:

Indian challenger Gukesh Dommaraju held World Champion Ding Liren of China in the second game of their World Championship 2024 match at the Santosa Resorts here on Tuesday, opening his account in this 14-game match after losing the opener.

Gukesh, considered the overwhelming favourite to claim the title and become the youngest ever World Champion at the age of 18, had suffered a shock defeat in the first game on Monday. So, holding Ding to a draw with black pieces was good for his confidence.
