Following a devastating 12th-game loss, GM Ian Nepomniachtchi was able to stabilize and achieve a 38-move draw against GM Ding Liren in the 13th game of the 2023 FIDE World Championship on Thursday. Despite Nepomniachtchi playing with White, Caruana dubbed it “a good result for Ian,” as the players moved to 6.5 points apiece with one classical game remaining.
Should the players draw in the final classical game, rapid tiebreaks will await them.
After a rest day, the 14th classical game will take place on Saturday, April 29, at 15:00 Astana time (2 a.m. PT/11:00 CEST).
This is a flash report. The full report with game annotations, photos, and videos will be added soon.
