World Chess Championship Resorts World: India's Gukesh Dommaraju defeated reigning champion Ding Liren on time in the third game of their 14-game match for the 2024 World Chess Championship Resorts World Sentosa. With this win, Gukesh tied the score at 1.5-1.5. He had lost the first game and drawn the second before striking back with white pieces in the third.

This is Gukesh's first win in the World Chess Championship final and with 11 more games to go, he seems to be gaining momentum as he played an excellent game on Wednesday that had taken him on the verge of victory even before the clock played its role.

Gukesh capitalised on a blunder by his Chinese opponent in Queens Gambit Declined and got into a winning position before Ding failed to complete the required 40 moves in the given time and lost on time when the clock stopped after his 37th move.
