Indian teenager Gukesh Dommaraju has made history by becoming the youngest world chess champion at the age of 18, defeating defending champion Ding Liren from China. The final game of the FIDE World Chess Championship, held in Singapore, saw Dommaraju claim victory with a score of 7.5 to 6.5. Dommaraju’s journey to the title has been remarkable, as he became a grandmaster at just 12 years old and hails from Chennai, India’s chess capital. His win brings him recognition as only the 18th world chess champion.
