D Gukesh vs Ding Liren, World Chess Championship 2024 Game 14 Live: A Win for D Gukesh on Thursday will make him only Indian Grandmaster to be crowned World Chess Champion

Singapore, December 12, 2024 - The stage is set for the final showdown in the historic World Chess Championship 2024 as Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh looks to dethrone defending champion Ding Liren. The game is set to take place on Thursday at Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore, with fans from around the world eagerly awaiting the outcome.

The scores are currently tied at 6.5-6.5, meaning that whoever wins Game 14 will be declared the new World Chess Champion. Since the championship has been reduced to a best-of-14 games tiebreaker format, it is almost certain that this final game will decide the world champion title.

D Gukesh, who has been considered a dark horse throughout the tournament, began his campaign on a losing note but bounced back to secure two victories and four draws. His impressive form in recent tournaments has earned him widespread recognition as one of the top players in the world chess circuit.

On the other hand, Ding Liren is the six-time World Chess Champion who began this tournament looking strong but struggled against Gukesh in their first two games. He has managed to regain his momentum in recent days with a win and three draws. The pressure will be on for China's world champion as he seeks to retain his title.

The game is expected to be an intense and thrilling contest, with both players having the skills and strategies to outmaneuver each other. Gukesh has been observed studying various openings, which suggests that he may resort to unorthodox playing styles to challenge Liren's world dominance.

Ding Liren has relied heavily on his attacking style of play during this championship so far but could be forced into more strategic lines if the final game goes in a tiebreaker format. However, there is speculation that both players might try to go "bullet time" with blitz playing strategies in order to achieve an advantage.

For Gukesh and Liren, this final game offers a chance not only to seal their place as world champions. Fans around the globe are eagerly awaiting Game 14, knowing that if either player wins it will be historic moment for chess lovers worldwide.
