World Chess Championship 2024: Ding, Gukesh draw positives from second-round draw

The Hindu  

Ding Liren was walking into unfamiliar territory on Tuesday at Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore, for the second game of the World Chess Championship against D. Gukesh. His largely unexpected win with black pieces in the opening game – he had started the match as very much the underdog despite being the defending champion – was timed beautifully. The Chinese Grandmaster seemed to be better prepared as he played quickly, and unlike the opening game, it was his younger rival who needed more time to make his moves in the early part. “A draw with black pieces in a World championship match is always nice,” said Gukesh.
