Dign Liren is playing with white pieces in game 4 after Gukesh secured a confidence-boosting victory in Game 3 right before the first rest day.

Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh, the youngest player ever to qualify for the World Chess Championship, held defending champion Ding Liren to a draw in their fourth-round encounter in Singapore on Friday.

The 18-year-old triumphed in the third game of the series on Wednesday, drawing level after his opening-round loss.

With 40 moves to make in the first 120 allotted minutes without any increment, the complicated middle game had the desired impact on Liren and Gukesh was relentless in finding out some difficult yet perfect moves to increase the pressure.
