This position is wild, we're back to the same situation as previous weird WCC games: Ding pushing and Ian blitzing

Ding has less than 5 mins for the next three moves.

...and he plays b6 which is apparently a draw as the other moves are forced.

Whoever loses in the end is going to be kicking themselves for weeks or possibly years. But it’s been fun to watch!

Real life took over and I had to go out, but it was looking drawish; glad I didn't waste another couple of hours for that. I'm torn: the weather looks great tomorrow and I should really take advantage, but... tiebreaks.
IMHO Ian is going to be much better in this situation. Ding has played so little rapid and blitz lately and seems to be struggling with the clock.

It's looking like Ding in the last rapid game. Missed what changed it from equal.
