Nepomniachtchi beat Liren in the second game of the World Chess Championship match
Russian grandmaster Yang Nepomniachtchi beat China’s Ding Liren in the second game of the match for the world chess title. This is reported by the correspondent of “Lenta.ru”.
32-year-old Nepomniachtchi, for whom this is the second attempt to win the world chess crown, played with black pieces. The Chinese player resigned after the 29th move. The score is 1.5:0.5 in favor of the Russian, who won the first victory in the confrontation.
The third batch will take place on April 12. All meetings are hosted by Astana. The winner of the competition will be the chess player who first scores 7.5 points.
The current world champion is Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, who previously refused to defend the title, citing a lack of motivation. In December 2021, he beat Nepomniachtchi 7.5:3.5.
