D Gukesh won his first-ever FIDE World Championship game after defending champion Ding Liren ran out of time in the 37th move. The victory meant 18-year-old Gukesh drew level overall in the tie, which stands at 1.5 - 1.5 after three games, going into a rest day.

Gukesh's win against Ding Liren in the third game of the World Chess Championship continues the rich tradition where India's Grandmasters have never been bogged down despite an early setback.

Both D Gukesh and Ding Liren now have 1.5 points each after the second game ended in a draw on Tuesday and a victory for the Indian on Wednesday
