FIDE World Chess Championship 2024, Game 3 Singapore Live Updates, Gukesh D vs Ding Liren: After a 23-move draw in Game 2 of the World Chess Championship in Singapore’s Resorts World Sentosa, world champion Ding Liren predicted that game 3 will see a “big fight”.
“Gukesh is down a point and he’s playing with white pieces,” said Ding before adding. “I’m ready for a fight.”
The third skirmish starts in a short while with Ding Liren ahead by a point after winning Game 1 on Monday.
Former world champion Magnus Carlsen was unhappy with the inability of his successor on the throne to push despite having a position in game 2 that allowed him to pile pressure on his 18-year-old, upstart challenger.
“It’s hard to get better chances than this in a World Chess Championship. Ding Liren is one-nil up. He has a risk-free position. He has an opponent who hasn’t shown him anything positive in the game so far. But Ding decided not to push. That’s not surprising… This is the Ding we have been used to seeing, decent prep, gets a slightly better position but doesn’t try to win. Just happy to make draws,” Carlsen said.
