Dign Liren is playing with white pieces in game 4 after Gukesh secured a confidence-boosting victory in Game 3 right before the first rest day.

All eyes will be on D Gukesh as he will take on defending champion Ding Liren in Game 4 of the World Chess Championship in Singapore on Friday, November 29. Gukesh won Game 3 to level the series.

This year’s World Chess Championship is expected to draw an audience of 200 million viewers across more than 80 countries, with an estimated 40 million viewing hours.

Clearly, chess isn't really a sport for the masses, particularly not in Singapore, just yet. But it is still a significant event. It is the first time in 45 years that the world championship has come to south-east Asia,

The World Chess Championship match between D. Gukesh and Ding Liren will consist of 14 games. The first player to score 7.5 points will be crowned the World Champion. If the match ends in a tie after all 14 games, a tiebreak will be held the following day to determine the winner.

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

With 40 moves to make in the first 120 allotted minutes without any increment, the complicated middle game had the desired impact on Liren and Gukesh was relentless in finding out some difficult yet perfect moves to increase the pressure.
