The youngest challenger in history showcased effective opening preparation and flawless technique to overcome Ding Liren, who struggled with time pressure in the critical phase. With this win, Gukesh has regained momentum ahead of the first rest day, resetting the narrative in a match many predicted he would dominate. Ding, on his part, has proven his resilience in the previous match for the crown. | Photo: FIDE / Eng Chin An </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both; font-size: 12px;"> <a href=/post/world-championship-2024-g3>More...</a> <a href="/post/world-championship-2024-g3#discuss" class="discuss">Comments 9</a> <div style='float: right; color: #aaa;'> 2</div> <img src="/Images/mutter/CBLikeThanks.png" style="width:14px !important; float: right; opacity:0.4; margin-top: -2px;" /> </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="blog-news col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4 col-lg-4 featured_false" style="float: left; background-color: white; padding: 0px 0px 15px 0px; margin: 0;"> <div class="blog-header"> <div class="blog-content" style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: thin solid #bbb;"> <div id="postBriefTotal" style="overflow: hidden; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <div id="postBriefImage"> <a href="/post/beyond-the-board-exhibition-fide-google"> <img id="smallThumbImage" class="" src="/Portals/all/thumbs/122/122395.jpeg" /> </a> </div> <div id="teaser-brief-mutter"> <h1> <a class="separation" href="/post/beyond-the-board-exhibition-fide-google"> Beyond the board: A virtual exhibition by FIDE and Google </a> </h1> <div class="separation" id="teaser-mutter"> 11/27/2024 – Explore the fascinating world of chess like never before with "Beyond the Board", a new digital exhibition by FIDE and Google on the Google Arts & Culture platform.
