World Chess Championship: Ding undone by Gukesh and clock as challenger strikes back

The Hindu  

Precision is one of D. Gukesh’s strengths. Daniil Dubov, former World rapid chess champion who was a second to Magnus Carlsen for two World title matches, had praised that aspect of Gukesh’s chess in an interview with The Hindu in Kolkata a fortnight ago. Many more games are still to be played in this match, but the 18-year-old would remember the game on Wednesday at Resorts World Sentosa fondly. The game mirrored the one played between Vladimir Kramnik and Arjun Erigaisi at the World rapid team championship last year until the 13th move. But, a rare inaccuracy by Gukesh, when he pushed his ‘g’ pawn to the fifth rank on the 15th, allowed Ding to breathe easy and he even managed to improve his position a bit.
