Abstract

Indian grandmaster D. Gukesh, 18, made history by becoming the youngest-ever World Chess Champion, defeating Ding Liren of China in a thrilling final match. Gukesh's victory earned him $1.3 million in prize money and marked a significant milestone in Indian chess, following in the footsteps of Viswanathan Anand. This achievement not only dethroned Garry Kasparov as the youngest world champion but also signaled a new era of Indian dominance in the global chess arena. [Extracted from the article]
