All eyes will be on D Gukesh as he will take on defending champion Ding Liren in Game 4 of the World Chess Championship in Singapore on Friday, November 29. Gukesh won Game 3 to level the series.

For someone as inexperienced as Gukesh – the boy is just 18 – the defeat to Ding Liren in the opening game must have been a bit unsettling,

Gukesh managed to win the third game, but he will need to be at his best going forward. Any mistake could significantly harm his chances of becoming only the 2nd Indian to win.

Gukesh converted his advantage in the third game against Ding Liren. Winning Game 3 mattered even more as Thursday is the first rest day.

Ding Liren appeared emotionally and physically exhausted after winning the Chess World Championship last year. He sees himself as an underdog defending the title at the upcoming tournament.

The 18-year-old triumphed in the third game of the series on Wednesday, drawing level after his opening-round loss.

D Gukesh registered his first-ever win against the defending champion Ding Liren from China in the World Chess Championship.

With 40 moves to make in the first 120 allotted minutes without any increment, the complicated middle game had the desired impact on Liren and Gukesh was relentless in finding out some difficult yet perfect moves to increase the pressure.
