The World Championship match in Singapore continues to heat up as Ding Liren holds a 1½-½ lead over Gukesh D after the second game ended in a draw. Gukesh, who suffered a tough loss in the opening game, managed to neutralize Ding’s opening surprise and regain composure ahead of game three. With the match still in its early stages, both players are gearing up for a long battle for the prestigious title.
