World Chess Championship: Gukesh Holds Ding Liren With Black Pieces In Game 4 (Ld)
FIDE World Chess Championship Final: India's Gukesh Dommaraju held reigning champion Ding Liren of China to a draw in Game 4 of their 14-game FIDE World Chess Championship Final Match at the Resorts World Sentosa here on Friday, overcoming another surprise opening to fight for equality in a game in which both players spent time trying to keep the game going.
It was a game that saw both players performing at a 100% accuracy rate and with both of them playing safe, they ended up splitting the point after 42 hard-fought moves with a clear three-fold repetition in a rook ending.
Both players made correct moves in the middle game to reach what looked like a rook-pawn ending but the position remained simple and drawish throughout and they decided to sign the peace treaty in the game that started with two World Champions and trailblazers in their countries, Xie Jun from China and Viswanathan Anand of India making the ceremonial first moves and cheered on their compatriots.
