So, the 13th game of World Chess Championship between Indian GM D Gukesh and defending champion Ding Liren of China ends in draw. Winner could be decided tomorrow with the final game or possibly tie-break. For Gukesh, this would feel like a missed opportunity.

We are heading towards an endgame with both exchanging queens after much contemplation. It's up to the Kings, Pawns and Rooks now.

Gukesh mooves the Rook from E4 to E7. He wants to take some time out of Ding's clock. No one is ready to risk at this stage.

1st check from Ding! Moves the Queen to C1. Gukesh responds quickly and moves the King to F2. This opens the gap for the rook to turn back into defensive line

Gukesh takes the pawn for a ride! He makes H3, as predicted by the commentators. The clock is ticking again for Ding. Not sure what's going to happen!

Ding moves his Bishop to F5. He wants to attack that Knight on E4. Both GMs have been given 30 minutes each in addition. Well deserved break for both

Ding has entered rapid territory. His queen is now on F4. He might be in for a "check" on Gukesh with both the rooks and queen out of protection zone.

Ding has just over 30 seconds to make 10 moves. Only 5:50 left on his clock. That rook move from Gukesh has put him on the backfoot. However, there has been a pattern about Ding's wins so far. He closes games very well

Gukesh moves his rook from D1 to E1. Both of his rooks now sit side by side, with the King currently at G1. Clock is now ticking again for Ding. Can he respond?

This game is getting better with every passing move. Defending champion Ding Liren now seems to be under pressure and taking every step carefully. He takes six minutes to take his 19th step, which was Qg6. He then quickly redeems himself by taking only 40 seconds on his 20th move. On the other hand, D Gukesh has gained speed and quickly responding to every move.

What a brilliant twist in the tale. India's D Gukesh, who are running on top with time on his side, finally faces a roadblock. In his 16th move, Gukesh spends a total of 21 minutes. After a lot of deep thinking, Gukesh moves exf6. In reponse, Ding Liren takes only 16 seconds and moves Bxf6.

India's D Gukesh is on top as he time is on his side today. In response of Gukesh's eighth move Be3, defending champion Ding Liren once again goes into deep thinking and spends 37 minutes. He then moves Nb6 as Gukesh and Liren are now 54 minutes apart. The Chinese star needs to buckle up in order to bounce back in the game. 

Looks like the defending champion Ding Liren is being extra cautious with his every move and carefully moving ahead in the game. In response of D Giukesh's seventh move a3, Ding Liren goes into some deep thinking and spends 17 minutes. He then takes Be7 as his seventh move. 

WOAHH!!!! India's young Grandmaster D Gukesh has definitely learnt a lot from his mistakes in the previous match. He is now keeping up with the time and confidently moving ahead in the game. So far, Gukesh has spent only 36 seconds. Great move by Gukesh.
