The first game of the World Chess Championship was eagerly awaited, as it had to answer all the questions about Ding Liren’s form and his state of mind for the match, as well as D. Gukesh’s strategy.

Teenage Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh has gained a psychological edge over defending champion Ding Liren in the World Championship. With scores tied at 1.5-1.5, Gukesh's preparation and recent victory have boosted his confidence.

Gukesh's win against Ding Liren in the third game of the World Chess Championship continues the rich tradition where India's Grandmasters have never been bogged down despite an early setback.

At just 18 years old, Gukesh is setting out on an ambitious journey to become the youngest world chess champion in history. He faces Ding Liren at Singapore's Resorts World Sentosa in a championship that traces its roots back to 1886.

D Gukesh gained a psychological advantage over reigning champion Ding Liren in the World Chess Championship with his strategic planning and first victory. The scores are tied at 1.5-1.5, with Gukesh leveraging strong preparation and Liren struggling with calculation in the third game.

Gukesh converted his advantage in the third game against Ding Liren. Winning Game 3 mattered even more as Thursday is the first rest day.

Every win in the World Championship 2024 will provide D Gukesh an opportunity to add close to Rs crore in Indian rupees to his bank account. Overall, Gukesh could earn more than Rs 10 crore in prize money at World Chess Championship 2024.

Indian teenager Dommaraju Gukesh claimed his first victory in the chess world championships final against title holder Ding Liren of China on Wednesday in Singapore to level the tie at 1.5-1.5 points.

Gukesh managed to win the third game, but he will need to be at his best going forward. Any mistake could significantly harm his chances of becoming only the 2nd Indian to win.

The 18-year-old triumphed in the third game of the series on Wednesday, drawing level after his opening-round loss.
