2023 FIDE World Chess Championship Round 9 result, match events, Round 10 schedule, date, time, venue, & format
Both challengers, who each had motivation to take half a point from the round, welcomed a draw in the ninth round of the 2023 FIDE World Chess Championship on Friday. After successfully responding to GM Ding Liren’s Ruy Lopez Opening: Berlin Defense, GM Ian Nepomniachtchi reached within two and half points of the winning line. After several difficult days, Ding was relieved to hold with black in a drawn-out knight and pawn endgame down a piece, allaying any worries about his mental health and keeping himself within striking distance of Nepomniachtchi.
Ian Nepomniachtchi suddenly whipped up a powerful attack midway through Game 9 of the FIDE World Championship match, but Ding Liren took some brave decisions and held on to make a draw after an endgame that stretched to six hours and 82 moves. Ian now leads 5:4 going into the final five games of the match, but Ding still has three games with the white pieces.
