A draw in the ninth round of the 2023 FIDE World Championship was welcomed by both challengers on Friday, who both had incentives to take half a point from the round. GM Ian Nepomniachtchi moved to two and a half points of the world championship crown after adequately dealing with GM Ding Liren's Ruy Lopez Opening: Berlin Defense. 

After several tumultuous days, Ding was happy to hold with black in a long-winded knight and pawn endgame down a pawn, squashing any concerns about his emotional state and keeping himself within striking distance of Nepomniachtchi with the scores poised at 4-5.
