Gukesh Dommaraju gives up strong position in middle game with inaccurate moves in eighth match of world championship.

Call it ambition, call it false optimism, or just the exuberance of youth, it made for a fascinating game 8 of the FIDE World Championship.

Gukesh's act of refusing a draw while being a worse position earned him praise from legends like Susan Polgar who called the Indian a "tank moving forward to bulldoze and destroy his opponent".
