New Delhi: The FIDE World Chess Championship between reigning champion Ding Liren of China and Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh is all set to culminate on Thursday. The scores are currently leveled at 6.5-6.5 with just one round left to decider the title.
The 14th and final round of the Championship will take place on Thursday with both challengers having one last shot to claim the title. Not one would have imagined that the 14-classical round would come down to the wire after 16 days.
Gukesh and Ding started their campaigns with a win each before the two played seven consecutive draws. Gukesh ended the streak after Ding made a blunder under the time pressure, but the Indian squandered the advantage, missing the chance to capitalise. Liren won the 12th game before enforcing a draw with black pieces.
In case the 14th round ends in a draw, meaning both players finish with seven points each, the title will be decided with players engaged in a tiebreaker in the faster time control format.
