The Unusual World Chess Championship: Ding Liren Survives Caruana Gambit and Psychological Battle.
Ding Liren's opening preparation for the World Chess Championship was compromised when he accidentally revealed his plans to his opponent, Ian Nepomniachtchi, during Game 8. A Reddit user discovered that Ding and his second, Richard Rapport, had played the same opening line against each other on lichess, revealing their preparation. This has thrown the championship into chaos as Ding is down a game and has limited time to recover.
