Seven games played in Singapore and nothing is done between Gukesh D and Ding Liren. However, the reigning world champion from China came very close to defeat on Tuesday after making a big mistake on the fortieth shot under the pressure of the clock. The Indian challenger, who had been dominating proceedings, was then in a position to convert to win with the whites, but also caught by the clock, he couldn’t find the way to victory. Conscious of having missed out on victory, he wore a grim expression as he shook his opponent’s hand. After seven games, the two men are at 3.5-3.5. There are still seven to go.
