Indian chess prodigy Gukesh Dommaraju, 18, claimed the World Chess Champion title, defeating Ding Liren. With this win, he becomes the youngest champion, garnering high praise from Magnus Carlsen, who has stepped back from competitive chess.

D Gukesh Wins Chess Championship

As the chess world celebrates Gukesh&rsquo;s achievement, Carlsen&rsquo;s absence from the championship arena serves as a reminder of the changing guard in the world of chess.

World number one Magnus Carlsen has lauded D Gukesh for making the most of his chances to be crowned the youngest ever world chess champion but has ruled out the possibility of a title showdown with him as desired by the Indian teen.
The 18-year-old defeated defending champion Ding Liren in the 14th and final round of the match on Thursday to become only the second Indian after Viswanathan Anand to claim the coveted trophy.
"It's an incredible achievement (by Gukesh), first he was down in the FIDE circuit, won the tournament in Chennai on demand, then he had an amazing performance in the Candidates tournament," said Carlsen on a popular recap stream, analysing the match.
Carlsen said he was a bit surprised by how the match unfolded with most of the games ending in draw.
"This was something that was bit unexpected, a lot of us thought that Gukesh was a favourite to win the match but this was a game that never really took off, Gukesh was doing a great job of keeping the position alive and suddenly it was all over," Carlsen said.
"It's a really good thing for him, he has the title now for two years, winning this championship is extremely motivating so there is a very good chance that he is going to go for a great run of results now and probably become the number two player now and may be number one in the not so distant future," he noted.
In the post-event press conference, Gukesh stated that he would love to fight it out against Carlsen at some point. The Norwegian maverick decided not to defend his title in 2023 after winning the world championship in 2013.
"Winning World Chess Championship does not mean I am the best player, obviously that is Magnus Carlsen. I want to reach the level Magnus has achieved," Gukesh said.
"Obviously playing against Magnus in the world championship would be amazing, it would be the toughest challenge there is in chess. It is up to Magnus, but I would love to test myself against the best player in the world."
But Carlsen ruled that out.
"I am not part of this circus anymore," said Carlsen in a general reference to world title clashes.
Carlsen also praised Gukesh's team and said they did a good job.
"It is becoming progressively harder (to play mainstream openings) all main lines are analysed so they had to jump a bit," Carlsen said of the opening choices made by Gukesh.
"I have generally kept it fairly risk-free with the white pieces, I have tried not to let things go out of control," he added.
The world's best player for a decade now was critical of Liren's choices in the final game.
"There are lot of things that Ding could have done differently, Gukesh really made most of his chances," he said.
"It's a massive moment for India, it&rsquo;s a combination of work that is being done there. This is not over.
"There are many more success stories to come, it was really heartwarming to see what it means to Gukesh, it was a very beautiful moment," Carlsen summed it up.

This historic win makes Gukesh not only the youngest-ever World Chess Champion but also the first teenager to achieve this milestone. He becomes the first Indian to hold the title since Viswanathan Anand’s reign ended in 2012.

India’s Gukesh D Scripts History as Youngest-Ever FIDE World Chess Champion

This historic win makes Gukesh not only the youngest-ever World Chess Champion but also the first teenager to achieve this milestone. He becomes the first Indian to hold the title since Viswanathan Anand&rsquo;s reign ended in 2012.

In a monumental moment for Indian chess, 18-year-old Gukesh Dommaraju etched his name in the history books by becoming the youngest World Chess Champion ever. Gukesh defeated defending champion Ding Liren of China in a nail-biting 14th and final game to clinch the coveted title. With the match tied at 6.5 points each, the decider seemed poised for a draw until a critical blunder by Ding handed Gukesh the victory.
This historic win makes Gukesh not only the youngest-ever World Chess Champion but also the first teenager to achieve this milestone. His triumph marks a significant moment for Indian chess, as he becomes the first Indian to hold the title since Viswanathan Anand&rsquo;s reign ended in 2012.
A Remarkable Journey
Gukesh&rsquo;s ascent to the pinnacle of chess has been nothing short of extraordinary. Earlier this year, he showcased his dominance by winning the 2024 Candidates Tournament, which secured his place in the World Championship. He further solidified his standing as a prodigy by leading India to gold at the Chess Olympiad, delivering standout performances throughout the tournament.
The World Chess Championship match against Ding Liren was a true test of skill, resilience, and strategy. The final game saw both players battling it out in a tense positional encounter. Gukesh displayed remarkable composure under pressure, capitalizing on Ding&rsquo;s late-game oversight to claim the crown.
The Youngest Ever
At just 18 years old, Gukesh has shattered the record for the youngest World Chess Champion, previously held by Russia&rsquo;s Garry Kasparov, who won the title at 22. Gukesh&rsquo;s achievement underscores his exceptional talent and heralds the arrival of a new era in global chess.
A Bright Future
With his historic achievement, Gukesh has positioned himself as a global icon in chess. His victory is expected to inspire a new generation of players in India and around the world. As the chess world celebrates the rise of this young champion, Gukesh&rsquo;s journey serves as a testament to hard work, dedication, and an indomitable spirit.
India now looks forward to Gukesh&rsquo;s reign as World Champion, with hopes of more milestones and inspiring performances in the years to come.
