#chess #chess lover #D Gukesh #sports news & updates 🌍♟️🇮🇳🔥World Champion Gukesh Dommaraju was held to a draw by Divya Deshmukh after a six-hour, 103-move marathon in round eight of the FIDE Grand Swiss in Samarkand. It was an enthralling battle between the reigning world champion and the Women’s World Cup winner that gripped chess fans across the globe on Friday, 12 September.✌️🔱 The result was remarkable given the gulf of 289 rating points between the two Indians, with Gukesh rated 2767 and Divya 2478. The game culminated in a rook-and-knight versus rook endgame — a rare and highly technical scenario in which the player with the extra knight enjoys the material advantage, yet the defending side can hold the draw with flawless play !!👀🔥💪
