This article discusses Game 6 of the 2024 World Chess Championship between Ding Liren and Gukesh D, which took place on Sunday. The match is ongoing, with both players having achieved a draw after playing an intense game.

Here's a summary of the key points from the post-game analysis:

  • Both players had five pawns each along with both rooks in addition to the queens.
  • Ding had previously captured Gukesh's pawn on f5 and given him a check by moving his rook one square to his right to the d file.
  • At this point, it seemed that Gukesh was forced to accept a draw, as Ding had previously offered him the opportunity to do so earlier in the game.
  • However, Gukesh decided to play aggressively instead and tried to break through Ding's position. Despite creating some threats, he ultimately couldn't overcome Ding's defenses.
  • The two players ended up shaking hands after 46 moves, effectively ending Game 6 and starting a brief rest period before resuming the match on Tuesday.

The article also includes quotes from other chess analysts and experts, such as Leko, who praised Gukesh for playing well but also criticized him for making some questionable decisions. Overall, it appeared that Ding's strategic play ultimately paid off, allowing him to regain his lead in the match.
