Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh, playing with white pieces, won Game 3 on Wednesday. Reigning champion Ding Liren lost on time after a mad scramble.

Gukesh converted his advantage in the third game against Ding Liren. Winning Game 3 mattered even more as Thursday is the first rest day.

At 18, Gukesh is aiming to make history as the youngest world chess champion ever. He has already achieved a milestone by becoming the youngest player to compete in the World Chess Championship. Check out the full schedule of the WCC matches.
