Russian Chess Federation chief Andrei Filatov accused Ding Liren of losing the title match deliberately and called an investigation into the decisive moments of Game 14

TASS quoted that in an equal endgame, Ding Liren made a blunder on move 55 after which Gukesh won advantage on a pawn ending.

In a thrilling conclusion to the 2024 World Chess Championship, India's 18-year-old Grandmaster D. Gukesh defeated China’s Ding Liren to claim the title. But while Gukesh's victory was historic, it has sparked debate and raised questions about the fairness of the match.
