The World Chess Championship 2024 continues on December 5 as Gukesh and Ding will be ready to battle it out yet again after playing out another thrilling tie in game 8 last time round.
There is still nothing there to separate the two players with the score at 4-4 as we've had 6 draws in 8 games so far.
6th draw in 8 games for Gukesh and Ding
Gukesh failed to take advantage in game 8 as by the 25th move, he had established a decent position both on the board and on the clock, setting himself up to capitalise on the opportunity despite of playing with black. However, it was Ding who pulled off another miracle and positioned himself into an edge on the day.
Gukesh's nerves got the better of him as we approached the 40-move mark as he lost all the advantage with one or two wrong moves. With both players getting the additional 30 minutes, Gukesh opted to not go for the draw again and tried to attack with the risk.
