Ding: I can play f4 to force your knight away
Gukesh: Play f4, it will only trap you | Photo: Maria Emelianova

Instead of f4, Ding goes with a4

Meanwhile, Anish didn’t just predict the draw; he published it!

Just then, Gukesh plays a wild risky move, f5… a potential blunder, both for Gukesh and Anish!
