Ding has a brief chance to push for a win against Gukesh in drawn game 5 - 5

Ding Liren showed a little of why he's such a respected player in outplaying Gukesh with black in an Exchange French in game 5 of the World Chess Championship, also the way he spoiled this chance in only a few of moves is rather typical of his current problems. Nevertheless after a really insipid performance in game four there were definitely signs of life in the Ding campaign today.

Score Ding 2.5 - Gukesh 2.5
