World Chess Championship Tied After Three Games Between Ding Liren and Gukesh Dommaraju

The reigning champion Ding Liren and 18-year-old challenger Gukesh Dommaraju are level at 1.5-1.5, with momentum favoring the Indian prodigy ahead of Game 4 in Singapore.

  • Ding Liren, the defending world champion, and Gukesh Dommaraju, the youngest-ever challenger at 18, are competing in a best-of-14-games World Chess Championship match in Singapore.
  • The score is tied at 1.5-1.5 after three games, with Ding winning Game 1 and Gukesh leveling the match by capitalizing on a critical error by Ding in Game 3.
  • Ding's Game 3 loss, marked by poor time management and a decisive mistake, has raised concerns about his form and mental state as he prepares for Game 4 with the White pieces.
  • Gukesh has shown strong preparation and adaptability, recovering from an initial loss and displaying confidence and composure during press conferences.
  • The championship, which runs until December 15, offers a $2.5 million prize fund and could see Gukesh break Garry Kasparov's record as the youngest world champion if he wins.
