The seventh game of the World Chess Championship match between Ding Liren and Gukesh in Singapore
ended in a draw after 5 hours 20 of play.
Gukesh had the white pieces and went back to an old love, the Reti,
and came up with a rare variation 7.Re1 which had been mostly played
in blitz games. This presented Ding Liren with the problem of finding
a correct setup, and whilst it must have been uncomfortable for him
it doesn't seem to me he was in that much trouble until he missed the
very accurate 23...c3. That's to brush over a lot of decisions that
had to be taken to that point but his position started to deteriorate
rather quickly after that. Gukesh then took Queens off and damaged Ding's Kingside pawn structure, not necessarily a bad thing but maybe not the most precise.
Ding then rather outplayed Gukesh 33.Bxg7 made black's life easier and
after that it Ding had salvaged his position, but he still had to
make first time control and with seven seconds to go he played
40...Ke5? rather than 40...Nc8 and it really looked like his
rear-guard action would be for nought.
Gukesh started to go wrong only a few moves later, 44.Ke1
isn't the best, Dings 44...f6! poses problems followed by 45...Rd3!
Even here 46.Ke2! would probably have led to a win with best play
but 46.Bd1? overlooking that 48.Rc4 Rh3! holds meant that
Gukesh had spoiled his winning chances. Ding needed no
further chances to draw the game in 72 moves when the last pawn
disappeared.
