Ding Liren wins wild Game 12 to level the scores again

Ding Liren has levelled the World Championship match at 6:6 with two games to go after an incredible Game 12. Ian Nepomniachtchi played a dubious opening but won the middlegame battle and was suddenly playing fast and well in a dominant position. A win would mean almost certainly becoming the 17th World Chess Champion, but Ian played too fast, lost control and ultimately crumbled under pressure. Match on!
