World Chess C'ship: Ding Strikes Back To Beat Gukesh, Level Scores 6-6
FIDE World Chess Championship Match: Reigning Champion China's Ding Liren bounced back from his defeat in the previous game and came up with a brilliant win against India's Dommaraju Gukesh in Game 12 to tie the scores in their FIDE World Chess Championship Match at Resort World Sentosa here on Monday.
Playing with his back to the wall after making a blunder and losing Game 11, the 32-year-old Ding came up with a superb plan to capitalise on his positional advantage and converted it into overwhelming pressure with a fine queen move to level scores at 6-6 in the 14-game match.
There is something about Ding Liren and Game 12 of a match. The Chinese Grandmaster was under pressure in his World Championship Match against Ian Nepomniachtchi in 2023, trailing by a point. Ding, who had twice fought back from a game deficit, produced a superb game to level the scores. He went on to win the match in the rapid tiebreaker and become the first Chinese World Champion.
