World Championship Match 2023 - Game 11

Quick Draw in Game 11

Today the two contestants took a quasi-day-off.
In a closed Ruy Lopez, Ian and Liren liquidated into the endgame pretty quickly. The rook endgame that came out was very drawish, and they had to repeat moves to agree to a draw before the time control.
After the last four draws, Nepomniachtchi still leads by a whole point with three games to go.
Ding will play two games with White, which could help the Chinese Numer One to use original ideas and get into a sharp game, trying to equalize the score.
In the press conference, Ding said that today was too early to try something "like a Sicilian," with still three games to be played.
These last three games will be thrilling!

Here is today's game:
