  3. 🇺🇸 Fabiano Caruana and 🇺🇿 Javokhir Sindarov are leading the open section by a full point at the end of round 3 in the candidates tournament and have a good shot at challenging 🇮🇳 Gukesh Dommaraju for the world chess championship.

    🇰🇿 Bibisara Assaubayeva and ♟️ Kateryna Lagno lead the rest of the women by half a point. Both will hope to face the current champion 🇨🇳 居文君 (Ju Wenjun).

  4. Such a great performance by 居文君 (Ju Wenjun) winning her fifth world chess championship match!

  5. 居文君 (Ju Wenjun) defeated 谭中怡 (Tan Zhongyi) for the second game in a row taking a 2 point lead in the match and in a great position to defend her world chess championship title! We need to wait two more days while the match moves to 重庆 (Chongqing).

  6. Ju Wenjun strikes back against Tan Zhongyi in the world chess championship. What a start to this match!

  7. The moment where Tan Zhongyi got excited in her game against Ju Wenjun. A game she eventually ended up winning and pulling ahead in this 12 game match. Game 3 will start tomorrow!

  8. Tan Zhongyi beat Ju Wenjun in their second game taking a big step in regaining her world chess championship title!

  9. The first game between Tan Zhongyi and Ju Wenjun in the world chess championship ended peacefully in a draw. It was a very balanced game with neither player taking too much risk:

  10. Gukesh D as world chess champion! It's been a very exciting match to follow.

  11. Something tells me the Chess24 India hosts are not exactly neutral here 😂

    #spoilers #WorldChessChampionship

    This is so pure

  12. Unbelievable! Ding collapses and 18 years old Gukesh wins to become the youngest World Chess Champion in history. Not the most satisfactory way for the match to end, but I guess the tension just got too much for Ding.

    Well done to both players for giving us such an enthralling event.

  13. That'll be it for me, I have tiredness creep up on me. To me it looks like it should be a draw, though Gukesh has some practical chances, though not many. So I will find the result out in the morning.

  14. Main takeaway from this World Chess Championship? Learn how to draw endgames when a pawn down.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  15. Tie breaks will be tomorrow (if needed).

    Four games of 15+10
    Two games of 10+5
    Two games of 3+2
    Then draw lots each game for 3+2 until someone wins a game

    So no armageddon game, assuming the FIDE rules haven't been changed recently.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  16. Maybe it's going to trade down to a fairly level ending here?

    I'm off to check on the tie break rules. That's tempting fate :D

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  17. Ok, I've been playing some chess today but back now to a tense game. I have to admit that I don't like these Catalan positions for Black. There's a lot of latent energy in White's position. Still, Gukesh is not me, and while I think I prefer White, it isn't by much.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  18. Last game of the World Championship about to start. If this one ends in a draw we have play offs. Will either player make an effort to win? I doubt it, but you never know.

    Ding is White and I'll go with 1.d4 as I've chosen that every time so far...law of averages says you have to be right sometime!

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  19. They made the time control and another 30 minutes is added to their time. It is a difficult position for me to judge. I still like Black’s queen side pawn, but White is definitely more active.

    Time for bed here. Could be any result when I wake tomorrow.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  20. Well I still feel good about Black’s queen side pawn majority but time could yet be a factor. Ding is under 15 minutes with about 1 minute pee move, while Gukesh has about 25 minutes.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  21. I'm happy to admit that I don't see what Gukesh has a plan in this position. His pieces seem wrong, he can't play the d5 break without some serious preparation, while Black has easy development and a queen side pawn majority. I think I'd rather be Black in the current position after 13 moves.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  22. Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Gukesh has played a couple of non critical type moves and Ding goes into deep thought using nearly half of his time already. We're on move 8 out of 40.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  23. French, for the third time in the match. Ding is channelling his inner Botvinnik.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  24. Two games to go in the World Chess Championship. Today Gukesh is White and I am guessing he will start with 1.d4 as it's been working OK for him.

    It will be interesting to see if they play safe and head for play off's or if either player goes for it.

  25. CW: Chess result spoiler

    Ding did win and we are back to level score in the match. This is exactly the same as when he won the title against Nepomniachtchi. He was behind three times in that match but drew level, most notably in game 12, just like yesterday.

    Two games remain, then tie breaks if necessary. After a dour middle of the match, it has come alive!

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  26. Thank Caissa he did!

    Ok, enough excitement. I'm off to bed, and if Ding doesn't win this position, then he doesn't deserve to be World Champion!

    I'm hoping to wake the match at level scores again...

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  27. And Ding didn't play it! WTF is happening? To me taking that rook gives White a material advantage in a better position.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  28. Gukesh dropping below 10 minutes to make 15 moves, in a visibly worse position with no seemingly active plans. Down to 8 minutes now!

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  29. The game is opening up as time ticks down. Gukesh is definitely on the defensive, looking as if he is just trying to hang on to his position. I'm not sure an exchange of bishop for knight was such a good thing for him...

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  30. And as I say that, Gukesh goes behind Ding on time for the first time in this game. The position is rather fluid with lots of pieces on the board. Gukesh, as Black seems to have little initiative which is something he has shown a preference for in the match. I don't think he feels comfortable in this position, but can Ding take advantage of that?

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  31. The game is certainly getting interesting, and quite complicated which I guess is what Ding wants, even though he has looked somewhat shaky as positions have intensified. But in a must win situation, he'll be happy with the current state of play.

    Time may still be a factor though.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  32. I don't really understand why Ding is taking so long at the start of games. Ok, using some time is important to avoid pitfalls, but he is absolutely eating into the time he will need when the middlegame gets critical. After losing in a time scramble yesterday, and losing on time earlier in the match, it appears something of a concern.

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  33. I expected Ding to play the Catalan opening against Gukesh's Queen's Gambit, but we have a strange kind of English/Reti. I guess the position suits the needs of both players as Black grabs some space in the centre, while White looks to utilise the fianchettoed bishop on g2

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  34. Half an hour before game 12 of the World Chess Championship. Gukesh, the 18 years old Indian challenger has taken the lead for the first time in the match. Can Ding bounce back straight away like he did in his 2023 victory over Nepomniachtchi? Or perhaps we are seeing a new World Champion?

    I'll predict 1.d4 again, but not the London...

    #chess #WorldChessChampionship #DingGukesh

  35. CW: Chess Championship result spoiler

    I started watching but as usual, had to go to bed before the finish. The game was unbalanced but still comfortably within drawing margins when I crashed out.

    After that, Ding's game went downhill. He allowed Gukesh a dangerous initiative and then made a massive mistake losing a knight for nothing and immediately resigned.

    Gukesh has taken the lead for the first time in the match with just three games to go.
