With only two games left to emerge victorious in the ongoing World Championship, D Gukesh is utterly disappointed after defeat in the crucial 12th game against Ding Liren in the ongoing World Championship. 

Both are tied at six points apiece after 12 games and have equal opportunity to emerge victorious. Still, Gukesh believes he should not have let the reigning world champion a chance to make a comeback in the contest. Gukesh lost the advantage in the closing stage of the championship. 

Gukesh admitted that he had many chances in the second-half of the intriguing contest but could not capitalize on them. The Indian teenager went to the extent of calling it a bag game. “This game is a bit of a disappointment. Luckily I have a rest day tomorrow, I will just try to play good games,” Gukesh said after losing the game.

Gukesh, though, said he and the defending champion are displaying quality chess in the second half of the match.

“In the second half, I had chances in many games. Today was a bad game, I won't draw too much out of it, we both are playing better than the first half but I think I had more chances in the second half.”
