Russian grandmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi lost the sixth game of the match for the world chess title to the Chinese Ding Liren. The broadcast was conducted on the YouTube channel of the International Chess Federation (FIDE).
32-year-old Nepomniachtchi, for whom this is the second attempt to win the world chess crown, played with black pieces. The game ended on the 44th move. After the sixth game, the score in the series is equal – 3:3.
