Live Updates: FIDE World Chess Championship 2024 Game 11 – Gukesh D vs Ding Liren

The FIDE World Chess Championship 2024 is heating up as Game 11 between Gukesh D and Ding Liren is currently underway in Singapore. The tension is palpable as Ding Liren has used up his first hour on just five moves, with a significant time disadvantage compared to his teenage opponent, Gukesh.

Gukesh caught the world champion off guard with his attacking opening choice with the white pieces, pulling out the Reti Opening in Game 11. By the time Ding played his 4th move, he was already 40 minutes behind Gukesh on the clock. The stakes are high as both players are deadlocked on five points each heading into Game 11, with only four games left to settle the championship before tie-breaks come into play.

Both players are acutely aware of the high cost of any mistake at this stage of the championship, with Gukesh emphasizing that playing with white or black doesn’t necessarily give an advantage. However, it is in the games where he plays with white pieces that we have seen opportunities for either player to secure a win. Ding Liren’s last win in the championship was in Game 1 against Gukesh, while Gukesh claimed victory in Game 3, marking the last decisive result in the tournament.

As the tension mounts and the clock ticks down, the world awaits to see who will emerge victorious in Game 11 of the World Chess Championship. Stay tuned for live updates and analysis as the battle for the championship title unfolds.
