Check out the timing and streaming details for the FIDE World Chess Championship 2024, game 2 clash between Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh and defending world champion Ding Liren in Singapore
Gukesh, the youngest-ever challenger, surprised early with an aggressive pawn push, but Ding’s French Defense neutralized the attack. Liren, who was looking quite nervous at the start of the game, came back strongly with a neat move of his own.
Gukesh had initially gained a time advantage, but Ding quickly regained his footing, gaining time and control as the game progressed. By the 42nd move, Ding secured the win, exploiting Gukesh’s mistakes in the middle game.
The 32-year-old Chinese displayed peak form after that as Gukesh's middle game crumbled. The clash lasted 42 moves.
"I haven't won a single classical game for a long time, and today, I managed to do that. But this game, to be fair, was very lucky for me because I missed two tactics," Liren said in the post-game press conference.
"In the first game, he might get nervous at the start of the match, so I tried to play something unusual, which I haven't played for a long time, and it turned out to work perfectly," he added.
