Ding Liren blows huge chance as prep leaks online
Ding Liren was set to make it a staggering five wins for White in a row, but a combination of missed chances, a bluff, and brilliant defence from Ian Nepomniachtchi saw Game 8 of the World Championship match end in a draw. Ian now leads 4.5:3.5, while Ding has to deal with the fallout of his „anonymous“ pre-match training games being discovered online.
