The 4th game of the 2024 World Chess Championship ended in a fairly pedestrian draw, no doubt satisfying both players match strategies. Taking place immediately after yesterdays rest day, the position never ventured very far from equality, despite White's interesting opening idea of an early exchange of dark squared bishops. The only point of excitement (at least for online viewers) was whether Ding might play 29.Qc3?? (which loses to 29 ... Re1+). Once that did not happen, it was just a case of reaching the first time control before shaking hands.
The score now stands at 2-2, with 10 games still left to be played. Game 5 and 6 are being played over the weekend, with another rest day on Monday.
