In the ongoing World Chess Championship, reigning champion Ding Liren and young challenger Gukesh Dommaraju have drawn all seven games so far, with the match deadlocked at 5-5. This unusual streak of draws highlights the intense nature of the competition and the strategic depth both players bring to the board.
Ding Liren, who recently became the world's champion after besting Ian Nepomniachtchi, faces personal challenges including depression, making his title defense particularly tough against the rising talent of 18-year-old Gukesh D.
At just 18 years old, Gukesh Dommaraju has already made history by becoming the youngest challenger for the world championship, showcasing remarkable skill in his Candidates tournament win at such a young age.
The match format consists of 14 classical games, where the first to reach seven and a half points is crowned champion, with each player striving for both strategic and tactical superiority.
