Russia launched a complaint against Chinese player Ding Liren..!?
While Gukesh from tamil Nadu won the title in the 2024 World Chess championship final and brought glory to India, public allegations have been made that Chinese player Ding Liren, who played against him, deliberately lost. Russian Chess Federation President Andrei Filatov has made this allegation and has posted a post on social media saying that Ding Liren may have lost the final on purpose and that an immediate investigation should be conducted into the final. This has caused a stir in the chess world. In the 14-round final of the 2024 World Chess championship, Gukesh and Ding Liren were tied with 6.5 points each after the first 13 games. In this situation, the winner of the 14th game would win the championship. The match could have been drawn or gone to a tiebreaker. The Chinese player made moves towards a draw halfway through the match.
After 40 moves, Gukesh realized a serious mistake he had made and used it to dominate and win. The head of the Russian Chess Federation, Andrei, said that Ding Liren's mistake was similar to the mistakes made by novice chess players.
