This leaves the duel against defending champion Ding Liren tied at 3.5:3.5, with the first player to score 7.5 points becoming world champion. If there is a draw after the initial 14 games, a play-off in rapid chess will decide the outcome.
The 18-year-old Gukesh seemed to dominate his opponent for a long time and had the best chances to win several times. But Liren, who had won the first game of this World Championship duel and lost the third, was able to save himself after almost five and a half hours of play - because Gukesh showed nerves of steel and failed to find the moves to win.
