Another draw! World Championship duel remains a thriller
In the fourth game of the World Chess Championship, the 18-year-old Indian Dommaraju Gukesh and the reigning world champion Ding Liren (32) from China have agreed on a draw.
An official offer of a draw can only be made after 40 moves have been played. After an even game, both players moved their kings to the center of the chessboard and shook hands after the 42nd move. This means that the overall score is now 2-2.
Of the previous three games, both players won one each and another ended in a draw. The fifth game, in which Gukesh starts with the white pieces, will take place on Saturday.
The first player to collect 7.5 points will be crowned world chess champion and receive the lion's share of the prize money of 2.5 million dollars (around 2.37 million euros). If there is a draw after 14 games, a play-off in rapid chess decides the winner.
