The World Chess Championship 2024 resumes on December 4 as Gukesh and Ding will be ready to battle it out yet again after playing out a gruelling 5 hour 20 minute draw last time round.
 
There is still nothing there to separate the two players with the score at 3.5-3.5 as we've had 5 draws in 7 games so far.
 
Gukesh missing out on a win in Game 7
 
Gukesh failed to take advantage in game 7 as by the 25th move, he had established a strong position both on the board and on the clock, setting himself up to capitalise on the opportunity. Meanwhile, Ding likely lamented the missed chances from earlier games as he faced the real possibility of a defeat in Game 7.
 
Both players eventually surpassed the 40-move mark and were granted an additional 30 minutes of play. Ding played on the edge, with only seven seconds remaining when he completed his 40th move.
 
Before reaching the time control, both players had exchanged queens and a pair of bishops, leading to a more simplified but still highly competitive endgame.
