Gukesh D makes history: Becomes Youngest World Chess Champion at 18

At 18, Indian chess prodigy Gukesh D, has made history as the youngest-ever undisputed World Chess Champion, breaking Garry Kasparov's 1985 record. In a nail-biting final in Singapore, Gukesh defeated reigning champion Ding Liren of China with a 7.5-6.5 score. The decisive moment came in the 14th game when Ding blundered in a complex endgame, paving the way for Gukesh's victory. This historic triumph cements Gukesh's legacy and marks a proud moment for Indian chess.
