18-Year-Old D. Gukesh Defeats Ding Liren to Become Youngest World Chess Champion in Singapore
Dec 12, 2024, 05:08 PM
D. Gukesh, an 18-year-old from Chennai, India, has become the youngest-ever world chess champion by defeating China's Ding Liren in the final game of the FIDE World Chess Championship 2024 held in Singapore. Gukesh's victory came after a tense match where he won the 14th game with a score of 7.5-6.5, surpassing the record previously held by Garry Kasparov. The match was a best-of-14 series, with Gukesh securing the crucial point after Ding Liren made a critical error in the 58th move. Gukesh's achievement marks a historic moment for Indian chess, making him only the second Indian to win the title after Viswanathan Anand.
