Ding Liren (2728) vs D. Gukesh (2783), Game 14, WCH 2024.
Final Position of the Game, and Match!
Ding Liren playing White here, resigned. He shook hands with his opponent, and left the Board quickly; as he realized that White would lose this position by force; thereby allowing Gukesh to savour his moment of triumph all by himself inside the 'Fish Tank' tournament venue.
Let us discuss what factors led Ding to resign: Black is a pawn up in this endgame, with the more advanced pawns, and after his last move 58...Ke5, Black has brought his King in Direct Opposition against White's King, thus dominating his counterpart. These factors combine to secure a decisive advantage for Black.
