World Chess Championship: Another draw after a Ding-dong battle

New Indian Express  

SINGAPORE: THE two most dominant themes of the current chess World Championship were present on a nerve-shredding Sunday. Liren knew he had played a near-perfect opening; he was happily sitting in the players' lounge while Gukesh, head lowered over the chess board, wasn't given time to even take a restroom break; such was the lightning pace of Liren's moves. A few moves later, Gukesh refused the draw offer, and the game went into overdrive. White's pawn structure was more mobile so Liren, at least in theory, had more chances even though Gukesh had a couple of passers. Even though the experts believed Gukesh made a mistake by refusing the draw offer, he replied in the negative.
