The fourth round, which ended in a draw on Friday in Singapore, showed Gukesh and Ding Liren’s sharpness, with 100% accuracy in shot selection. No mistakes were made, resulting in a logical sharing of the points. But the Indian and the Chinese are human. So, on Saturday, we saw them both stumble in turn. First it was Gukesh who found himself in a very uncomfortable situation after a missed opening with the whites. This gave Ding Liren the opportunity to push his advantage to the fore, as he had done in the first game. But the Chinese player failed to exploit the opportunity, and after three hours of confrontation, the two men decided to call it a day. After five rounds, the score was 2.5-2.5.
