The game was a tactical masterpiece. Gukesh, playing with the black pieces, opted for a solid Berlin Defense, neutralizing Carlsen’s aggressive opening. With precise calculation and cold-blooded endgame play, Gukesh slowly dismantled Carlsen’s position, forcing him into retreat after a critical middlegame blunder. The audience watched in awe as the 18-year-old prodigy converted a slight edge into a crushing victory.

Grand Master Gukesh
Indian GM Gukesh Dommaraju is the current world chess champion, defeating GM Ding Liren in the FIDE World Championship on December 12, 2024. He is the youngest undisputed world champion in chess history, at 18 years and six months old, shattering the previous record of 22 years and seven months which was set by GM Garry Kasparov in 1985.
Gukesh became the challenger to the world championship in April 2024 by winning the 2024 FIDE Candidates Tournament with a score of 9/14, which also made him the youngest-ever Candidates Tournament winner.
The chess prodigy, Gukesh earned the GM title at 12 years, 7 months and 17 days of age—narrowly missing GM Sergey Karjakin’s record at the time by 17 days. In July 2022, he achieved a live rating of 2700, the fourth-youngest player to ever do so. In September 2023, he was ranked eighth in the world and first in India—ending GM Viswanathan Anand’s 37-year reign as India’s top-rated player.
