In the 2024 World Chess Championship, Game 10 ended in a draw after 36 moves, leaving D Gukesh and reigning champion Ding Liren tied at 5-5. The match is now a best-of-four contest, with tie-breaks in rapid format looming if the deadlock persists. Ding reverted to the London System, while Gukesh defended solidly. Both players acknowledged the increased stakes, with Gukesh emphasizing precision in every move. Chess legend Susan Polgar remarked on Ding’s steady strategy, pushing Gukesh to take risks. The championship could still hinge on a single decisive game or rapid play dominance.
