World champion D Gukesh fought back from a hopeless position to eke out a draw against Alireza Firouzja of France in the first game of the final round of the first Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour here.

Fighting for the seventh spot in the last-eight qualifiers, Gukesh tried his way out to score his first victory which still eluded him and the Indian was defending for the major part and survived some real scary moments before getting a much desired draw in another long drawn endgame.
