Gukesh Beats Ding To Level World Chess Championship After Game 3
GM Gukesh Dommaraju has scored his first classical win over World Champion Ding Liren to level the scores at 1.5-1.5 going into the first rest day of the 2024 FIDE World Championship. Gukesh posed tough problems in the opening of game three, but just when Ding had solved them, and looked on the verge of taking over, he blundered. He was forced to give up a bishop for two pawns, and though Gukesh’s conversion looked tricky, Ding collapsed in time trouble.

Game four, after a rest day, starts Friday, November 29, at 4:00 a.m. ET / 10:00 CET / 2:30 p.m. IST / 5:00 p.m. local time in Singapore.
