The World Chess Championship battle between the challenger from India, D Gukesh, and the title-holder from China, Ding Liren, has gone down the wire. After 13 games, the match is on tenterhooks at 6.5 points each, with just one game left to be played in Singapore.
Game 14 is scheduled for today (December 12), but if it fails to decide the winner, the Championship will move to tiebreakers, which is the reigning champion's stronghold. And the 18-year-old Gukesh would, thus, want to avoid that and become the youngest world champion on Thursday itself.
