Empate a falta de la última partida regular
En la tercera partida, Levon Aronian comenzó la partida con blancas con 1.c4. y Ding Liren se mantuvo fiel a su clásico Gambito de Dama Rehusado. Jugó la misma línea que Aronian había planteado contra Ivanchuk con negras en la quinta eliminatoria de la Copa del Mundo. Fue sorprendente ver con qué confianza jugaba la misma variante, pero con colores opuestos. "Me gusta jugar la misma apertura con ambos colores", explicó.
Para comprender lo que pasó en la tercera partida
Por esta apertura aboga Daniel King en Powerplay 24 para las negras, como repertorio contra la Catalana. Puede ser peligrosa estratégicamente porque el caballo va a e5 y captura el alfil d7. Luego es la lucha de dos alfiles contra el espacio central y creo que a las negras les va bien en esa posición, porque saca piezas de la diagonal h1-a8 y tiene la estrategia de las casillas negras con movimientos como ...b6, ...Cd4 y similares.

Bueno, el caso es que a las blancas les gustaría capturar en d7, pero evitando que las negras puedan capturar con la dama. Y lo segundo, tal y como explicó Ding Liren tras la partida, era evitar ...Ac6, por Cxc6 Cxc6 y Db5!, lo cual da una pequeña ventaja a las blancas. El gran maestro chino continuó con el desarrollo de sus piezas sin dejarse molestar y planteó ...Cc6 tras Dd3. Levon Aronian capturó en d7 con Cxd7 y tras ...Cxd7 las blancas continuaron con Db3.

Tras la partida rogamos a Levon Aronian que nos explicase la idea y nos respondió: "Las blancas simplemente intentan frenar el desarrollo de las negras. En general, las negras tienen una posición tan sólida que ya sería un gran logro obtener una mínima ventaja".

En general, las blancas no obtuvieron ninguna ventaja notable tras la apertura, pero Ding Liren se mostró un poco crítico con respecto a su movimiento 12...Td8.
Aronian comenzó a tener cierta mejoría tras la apertura, pero los alfiles de colores opuestos aseguraban que las negras nunca estuvieran en serio peligro. El momento crítico de la partida llegó aquí:
Tanto Aronian como Ding Liren opinaban que el movimiento de las blancas Tc2 fue poco preciso. Aronian no le veía muchas posibilidades para mejorar su posición pero Ding Liren sugirió una variante con 21.Ah3! Tc7 22.Txc7 Dxc7 23. Ag2!, creando cierta presión. Pero como Aronian no había encontrado nada para avanzar, quedó claro que las negras iban a poder mantener las tablas.

Nona Gaprindashvili analiza la posición tras 21.Tc2
Hubo un pequeño incidente tras el movimiento 28...bxa5. Ding capturó el peón y presionó el reloj. Mientras Aronian estaba reflexionando qué jugar, el gran maestro chino le ofreció tablas. Aronian se ofendió porque Ding Liren le había ofrecido tablas durante su turno y no durante el de Ding. Tras la partida, el jugador chino nos explicó: "Lo siento, no era consciente de la existencia de esa regla. En el futuro tendré más cuidado".
