At 18, Gukesh D Becomes Youngest World Chess Champion, Breaking Kasparov's Record
Dec 12, 2024, 01:44 PM
Indian chess prodigy Gukesh D, aged 18, has become the youngest-ever undisputed classical chess world champion after defeating reigning champion Ding Liren of China in the 14th and final game of the FIDE World Chess Championship held in Singapore. Gukesh secured victory in a dramatic and historic match, clinching the title with a score of 7.5 to 6.5. This win makes him the 18th World Chess Champion and breaks Garry Kasparov's longstanding record for the youngest world champion in history. The match was marked by intense competition, culminating in a decisive final game where Ding Liren made a critical blunder, allowing Gukesh to secure the championship. This achievement is a significant milestone for Indian chess, with Gukesh becoming only the second Indian, after Viswanathan Anand, to win the World Chess Championship.
