„This match is totally nuts!“ said Anish Giri as Ding Liren went all-in with the white pieces in the final classical game of the match. It backfired spectacularly, with Ian Nepomniachtchi getting a series of chances until in the endgame he once more looked on the verge of becoming World Champion. One rushed move, however, and Ding Liren snatched his chance to force a drawn rook endgame and take the match to a playoff on Sunday.
