D Gukesh becomes youngest World Chess Champion after defeating Ding Liren

timesofindia.indiatimes.com — December 19, 2024 at 10:01 AM UTC

Indian chess player D Gukesh, at 18, has become the youngest World Chess Champion, defeating Ding Liren 7.5-6.5. This victory breaks Garry Kasparov's long-standing record of being the youngest champion at age 22. Paddy Upton, Gukesh's mental conditioning coach, contributed significantly to his success. Upton spent over 40 hours in six months on video calls with Gukesh, helping him prepare for the championship. Gukesh's win marks a historic moment in chess. He is set to compete against top player Magnus Carlsen at the Norway Chess Tournament in May 2025.
