2.38 million at stake
World Chess Championship: Draw after only 23 moves
In the second game of the World Chess Championship, 18-year-old Dommaraju Gukesh from India and defending champion Ding Liren from China drew. After just 23 moves, the two players agreed on a draw.
The young Indian had the black pieces and therefore the disadvantage. Liren took no risks after his victory in the first game the day before. Both players scored 0.5 points, giving Liren a 1.5 to 1 lead.
The new world chess champion is determined in 14 games. The winner of a game receives one point, in the event of a draw both players receive half a point. The first player to collect 7.5 points is the world chess champion and receives the lion's share of the prize money of 2.5 million dollars (2.38 million euros).
