A stunning Ding Liren blunder under time pressure gifted Gukesh Dommaraju a decisive result in Sunday’s Game 11 of their world title match, leaving the Indian challenger on the brink of history with a 6-5 lead and three contests remaining.
The fireworks came early as Gukesh, playing as white, opened with 1 Kf3 while Ding responded with the ultra-committal 2…d4, the unbalanced Reti opening auguring a sharp, exciting game after Friday’s tame draw.
