Gukesh makes his move with Bc5, setting up for castling and strengthening his control of the midfield. Even Pep Guardiola (hopefully not in this Rodri-less, very sad version) would be impressed.
Ding stays steady but taking more time than Gukesh, playing Nc3 to prevent the bishop from causing too much trouble on its diagonal.
Ding Liren's knight is getting a little too ambitious, and now Gukesh is deep in thought about his next move. His bishop is under attack, but he might just push the e-file pawn to cover it. That could open up a path for his light-squared bishop to finally get some action and leave its cozy starting square.

Oh, Ding plays it safe with b3, looking to get his black-squared bishop into a stronger position. The evaluation bars drop to 0.4, and Ding라이브 바카라 chances fall to 27.6% according to the AI, while Gukesh's chances rise to 16.8%.
We’ve quickly reached move 17, with Ding opting for a risk-free move to stabilize his center. He pulls his under-threat knight back and attacks with the black-squared bishop, but Ding is steadily keeping Gukesh at bay.
Gukesh holds steady, opting not to exchange pieces. Instead, he pushes his b-pawn to b5, putting pressure on Ding's queenside pawn structure. Ding had been relaxing for a moment, but now he라이브 바카라 back, ready to figure out his next move. Gukesh takes a breather, pacing around the lounge with his hands in his pockets, contemplating his strategy.

The rarest of rare chess moves makes its second appearance in a row at the World Championships.
So, what is it? "The capture of an enemy pawn by a pawn on the same rank and adjacent file, after the enemy pawn has just made an initial two-square advance."
But NO TRADE, says Gukesh. Ding takes his pawn and moves it right into the Queen's face. "Take it," he challenges, "and let라이브 바카라 get these Queens off the board." And Gukesh bites.
If anyone has the slight edge here, it's GUKESH. This is such an unusual position for White, with Ding's best hope being a draw, unless Gukesh blunders while trying to force the issue.
No rook trade here, Gukesh turns it down and slides his rook to b1, delivering a check. Ding moves his king up to g2, and Gukesh follows him with a rook move to e1.
The eval bar is neck-and-neck as Ding pauses for a moment. A small smile crosses his face, realizing this might be heading towards a draw and tie-breaks -- maybe that was the plan from the start.

More draw-like moves incoming. This position looks destined for a draw, with Ding comfortably holding safety on f2 and g1, leaving little room for black to pose a serious threat to those squares.
And that라이브 바카라 exactly how it plays out. Ding moves his king to f2, and Gukesh responds with a rook check on d2. Ding calmly retreats to g1, while Gukesh shifts his king back to f6 for safety. Next, Ding pushes his rook up to b6 for a check, prompting Gukesh to move his king back once more.
The game continues its repetitive rhythm as Ding returns his rook to b4, and Gukesh advances his bishop to e6.
There라이브 바카라 not much happening here, neither side has enough to force the issue. It makes you wonder if Gukesh is looking to stretch this game out and test Ding라이브 바카라 stamina ahead of tomorrow라이브 바카라 potential tie-breakers.
History is made.
D Gukesh has become the youngest World Chess Champion ever, as Ding Liren resigns in a dramatic finish. A monumental achievement for the 18-year-old Indian prodigy, who now stands at the pinnacle of the chess world.
"I once said I wanted to become the youngest chess champion. Now, it's no longer just a dream. That eight-year-old kid would be really proud today."
Before heading to the World Chess Championship, Gukesh had his pieces well set, thanks to a formidable team of chess maestros.
Leading the charge was his trainer, Grzegorz Gajewski, who had been with Gukesh for a considerable time. He was joined by three other Polish Grandmasters, Radoslaw Wojtaszek, Jan Krzysztof Duda, and Jan Klimkowski forming a powerful Polish bootcamp.
Adding to the mix were two legendary Indian figures: Vishy Anand and Pentala Harikrishna, whose support proved invaluable.
Alongside them, the ever-present Paddy Upton, a key member of Gukesh's team, helped fine-tune his mental and physical preparation. This international squad of chess masterminds formed the backbone of Gukesh's journey to the top.
"I want to become the youngest world chess champion." 8-Year-Old Gukesh
I am The 'YOUNGEST WORLD CHESS CHAMPION'. 18-Year-Old Gukesh
Gukesh cried and was beaming at the same time; his hands were quivering as he tried to piece the board up again with himself and Ding. All was coming upon him slowly-what had just been achieved. It was just an end-product of many hard years and sleepless nights and sacrifice into this exact minute. He was now going to become the world's youngest chess champion.
He paused, his shoulders shaking with the weight of it all. Taking a deep breath, he looked up as if thanking everyone silently who had been on this journey.
With shaky hands, he set the final pieces of the board into place, an act of respect for the game that had dictated his life. And then, standing upright with all the strength he could muster, he stretched his arms to heaven and let tears fall silently down his face in a powerful silent celebration of a dream that had come true.
That's a wrap from the World Chess Championship 2024. We have a new champion, and it's none other than Gukesh Dommaraju. This historic win will surely let Indians sleep peacefully tonight. After 14 intense games, the tournament comes to a close.
