Young Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh made a bold move towards the World Chess Championship crown by securing a win over defending champion Ding Liren. Gukesh now leads 6-5 in the intense competition following a series of tight draws.

With only three games to go, Gukesh's victory places him in a promising position in the 14-round classical format. The history-making feat shows the challenger's determination, as no one has achieved a win from a 5-5 tie after the 10th game in modern chess history.
