World Chess Championship: Gukesh lets opportunity slip in Game 7

New Indian Express  

A lesser-known tactical innovation, a series of mistakes and an Everestian defence were the hallmarks of game seven of the World Chess Championship between Ding Liren and D Gukesh. Yet, he somehow tapped into the deepest corner of his mental reserves to save half a point when the engine was favouring Gukesh for the vast majority of the encounter. When he had a significant advantage, he moved 44.Ke1 when the computer had suggested a trade of his white light-coloured bishop for Liren's pesky knight. Gukesh, by now knowing he had lost a clear opportunity slip through his fingertips, slogged for the remainder of the game, trying to will another inaccuracy from his opponent.
