World Chess Championship: Intense Battle Continues as Gukesh and Ding Liren Draw 4th Game, Score Tied at 2-2

Singapore – The ongoing World Chess Championship final between India's teenage Grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju and reigning World Champion Ding Liren of China has reached a tense stalemate, with the fourth game ending in a draw. This result has leveled the score at 2-2 in the 14-game final.

Ding Liren won the first game, but the second ended in a draw. In the third game, Ding faced time pressure and lost, allowing Gukesh to level the series. The fourth game, played on Friday, saw neither player able to take a significant attacking position, resulting in a draw.

Following the game, Ding Liren stated, "After my first loss, I had a rest day which helped me recover. In this round, I tried to play safely and gained some advantage, but the score is still tied, and there are more games ahead."

During the game, Ding attempted to apply pressure on Gukesh by taking a more aggressive approach, but the initiative quickly fizzled out.

Experts suggest that the remaining games in the championship could intensify as both players are equally matched, and the battle for the title is expected to heat up. The final, held in Singapore, has become a historic event for chess enthusiasts around the world.
