World Championship Game 12: Ding Liren is back in the Match as

Ding Liren bounced back by winning a virtually must-win Game 12. The World no.3 unleashed Colle System as his weapon of choice which slightly rattled his opponent. Nepomniachtchi moving his queenside bishop twice in the first eight moves was definitely a sign of nerves. Since Ding needed a win to get back in the match, he tried to create imbalance in the position by taking a lot of risks. It turned his position into completely lost. As Vishy Anand tweeted, the 'Ian curse' struck and things took a 180° turn. Ding Liren was not going to slip this golden opportunity. He managed to seize it and level the score 6-6. Only two games left. Will we see tie-breaks or the match gets decided by Saturday?
