The second, fourth, fifth and sixth games had ended in draws.
India has submitted its bid to host the much-anticipated World Chess Championship clash between teen sensation D Gukesh and defending champion Ding Liren of China in November-December this year.
'I think the world championship matches are decided not purely by chess but by who has the better character and who has the better willpower. And I think those qualities, I did show quite well'
Gukesh said he wanted to just win the game cleanly but there was excitement as Liren had very little time left.
Gukesh, Liren eye breakthrough after series of draws in the Chess World C'ship.
If I do the right things, I have all the chances in the world: Gukesh
Grandmaster D Gukesh threw one salvo after another to beat world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen of Norway, Levon Aronian of Armenia and eventually reigning world champion Ding Liren of China on the first day of the Weissenhaus Chess Challenge that got underway in Wangels (Germany).
