2024 World Chess Championship - sometimes a draw is all you get

 The 2nd game of the 2024 World Chess Championship has ended in a draw by repetition. With the regulations forbidding draw offers before move 40, the players used the old standby of repeating the position instead. Ding maintains his 1 point lead after this game, although tomorrow might be the chance for Gukesh to even the score, as he has the white pieces.

Unlike yesterdays game, I was not able to watch the game from start to finish. I was involved in my own club game, which somewhat fittingly also finished in a draw. So all I can do is present the game here sans comments.
