At the conclusion of round nine of the 2024 FIDE World Chess Championship on Thursday, the players were tied at 4.5-4 .5 in the 14-game encounter.

 The first player to reach the 7.5 points mark wins the contest. If the match is tied 7-7, a series of rapid and blitz games will decide the result.

Before he won the first game, world champion Ding Liren had beaten challenger Gukesh Dommaraju and grandmaster Max Warmerdam in January at the competitive Tata Steel Tournament, in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands.
