Gukesh against Liren
Chess: World Championship duel for € 2.5 million remains evenly matched
The World Chess Championship between defending champion Ding Liren and challenger Dommaraju Gukesh remains even after another draw. The 32-year-old Chinese player and the 18-year-old Indian agreed on the third draw in total after 40 moves in the fifth game in Singapore and were each awarded 0.5 points.

In the meantime, Ding, playing with the black pieces, seemed to have an advantage, but was then unable to secure his second win. If there is still a draw after the scheduled 14 games, a play-off in rapid chess will decide the outcome. The world champion will receive the lion's share of the 2.5 million dollar prize money.
