Nepomnyashchi’s Chinese opponent, Ding Liren, had to give up after three and a half hours of play and 29 moves, despite the advantage of the white pieces. The easily favored Nepomnjaschtschi now leads by one point. The first game ended in a draw, the third will take place on Wednesday.
14 games are played with a long reflection period. A win is worth one point and a draw earns each player half a point. Whoever reaches 7.5 points first wins. In the event of a tie, the decision will be made in the tiebreak, which is scheduled for April 30.
