D Gukesh Takes Decisive Lead in World Chess Championship Match with Victory over Ding Liren

D Gukesh Inches Closer to World Chess Championship Title with Victory Over Ding Liren

In a thrilling match on Sunday, 18-year-old Indian chess prodigy D Gukesh took a significant step towards becoming the youngest world chess champion by defeating Ding Liren in Game 11. With this victory, Gukesh now leads the match 6-5, putting him in a prime position to clinch the title.

The game was filled with tension and excitement as both players fought fiercely on the board. Gukesh’s aggressive pawn pushes on the queenside caught Ding off guard, forcing him into a deep think early on in the game. Despite Ding’s attempts to even out the situation, Gukesh seized the moment and built a strong attack, ultimately leading to Ding’s fatal blunder and resignation after 29 moves.

If Gukesh can maintain his lead and secure victory in the remaining three games, he will become only the second world champion from India, following in the footsteps of the legendary Viswanathan Anand. With Ding set to play white in Game 12 on Monday, the pressure is on for both players as they battle it out for the prestigious title.

Stay tuned for more updates on this intense world chess championship match as Gukesh continues his quest for chess greatness.
