Championship draw // The first game of Ding Liren and Ian Nepomniachtchi ended in a draw after the Astana match
[ad_1]
Ding Liren and Yang Nepomniachtchi met again at the board just a week after the end of the match for the world title in Astana, which ended with the victory of the Chinese grandmaster over the Russian one in a tie-break. The intersection happened at a super tournament in Bucharest, which opened the Grand Chess Tour, the main commercial series in chess, and made me remember the duel in the capital of Kazakhstan. Nepomniachtchi, playing with white, was close to getting a decisive advantage, but the game still taxied to a draw.
