World Chess Championship Game 13 Highlights, D Gukesh Vs Ding Liren:
A long-drawn rook-pawn endgame finally came to a halt by repetition as Ding Liren and D Gukesh settled for the draw to keep the scores level as they head into the final classical Game 14 tomorrow.
Now, to clinch the championship, either player will need to muster nothing short of a win over the other. But, in the case that both players end up drawing Game 14 as well, then we enter a tiebreak where a series of Rapid games, four games to be specific, will commence to decide the champion.
At the end of 13 games thus far, the 14-game series stands perfectly balanced at 6.5 points each.
The Chinese champion, Liren, who entered the summit clash fighting against the odds, opened with a win in the curtain raiser of the match in Game 1, before holding his advantage with a second-game draw.
However, the Indian challenger came back strong in Game 3 to clinch the win as Liren ran out of time on the clock and evened the scores.
Games 4 through 10 proved to be pragmatic as the finalists ended up shaking the hand of the other at the end of each iteration of the championship battle as the scoreboard kept bulging in increments of 05. points each following their drawn games.
Gukesh turned the match around in Game 11 as he sealed a win to inch ahead 6-5, but Liren demonstrated his resilience yet again to pull back level at 6-6 in Game 12.
How Will The Title Be Decided?
For a player to be crowned the champion, one would need a total of 7.5 games from the total of 14 games. A win results in one point, a draw entitles 0.5 and a loss is 0 points respectively. If the match ends in a tie after all 14 games, a tiebreak will be held the following day to determine the winner.
This year’s tournament marks the first time in 138 years that two Asian players will be pitted against each other in the summit clash, with a prize money of USD 2.5 million going to the winner.
