Abdusattorov made a strong push from the early stages, but Gukesh managed to hold his ground, ensuring his team's victory with a final score of 9-7."I had a small edge but it was largely even through. I wanted to play a more interesting game but this one went the way it did," said Carlsen who also noted that he is excited to be taking part in this event which is more dynamic and different to most others in chess.In match four the Chingari Gulf Titans played as white against Triveni Continental Kings.

However, following a mistake in a tense game, Daniil Dubov allowed Wei Yi to score as black, making a comeback for the Triveni Continental Kings.As the four other games ended in a draw - including between heavyweights Jan-Krzystof Duda and Levon Aronian, this meant that Wei Yi's victory was crucial to secure them an overall edge of 8:7 in the match.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
