-

After today's victory, Gukesh takes a 6-5 lead in the World Chess Championship 2024, with only three games remaining in the series.

In a dramatic twist at the 2024 World Chess Championship, 18-year-old Grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju from India stunned the chess world by defeating reigning World Champion Ding Liren of China in the 11th game on Sunday. This victory has put Gukesh in the lead with a 6-5 score, marking the first time he has been ahead in the match, with just three games left to play.

No challenger in modern chess history has ever gone on to win after being tied 5-5 following the 10th game, putting Gukesh in a unique and advantageous position. For Liren, his only hope lies in drawing from past experience, particularly his 11th-game victory in the previous World Championship against Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia. However, with time running out, the pressure is mounting.

The winning moment of the game came when, after a tense and unpredictable battle, Ding Liren made a critical blunder in the endgame. Gukesh, who had sacrificed a pawn earlier to create space for his rooks, had intensified the pressure by doubling his rooks on the open file. This aggressive maneuver left Liren with limited options, and in the heat of the moment, he missed a simple defensive move that would have kept the position balanced. Instead, his mistake allowed Gukesh to seize control, and with one final, decisive move, Gukesh secured the victory. The blunder left Liren visibly dejected, while Gukesh took a commanding 6-5 lead in the match, moving him one step closer to the World Chess Championship title.

With two games remaining as White, Liren still has a slim chance to mount a comeback, but Gukesh only needs three draws to secure his maiden World Chess Championship title. The stage is set for a thrilling, high-stakes finale—will Gukesh seal his historic victory, or can Liren find a way to defy the odds? The chess world is on the edge of its seat. only explain the winnig moment of the game
