Singapore: Indian teenage challenger Gukesh Dommaraju beat China's Ding Liren in the eleventh game of their world championship match Sunday, taking a crucial lead as the tournament entered the final stretch.
Gukesh, whose win gave him a 6-5 lead with just three games to play, forced a resignation from Ding after the defending champion made a blunder under time pressure.
The victory ended seven consecutive draws and gave the 18-year-old Gukesh a big psychological advantage into the homestretch of the 14-match series.
"Obviously, this is a very, very important win," said Gukesh, who played with the white pieces.
But he also remained cautious, adding that "there's still three more very, very important games to go".
