D Gukesh reflects on world chess championship win and prize money of Rs 11.45 crore

D Gukesh, the new world chess champion, has won Rs 11.45 crore. He credits his success to his parents' sacrifices, highlighting their financial struggles and support throughout his chess journey. At 18, Gukesh remains focused on his passion for chess rather than the prize money. He values learning and acknowledges that even top players make mistakes. Gukesh's recent victory has brought him joy, and he plans to celebrate with his favorite South Indian food and ice cream after a year without it. He also humorously recalls his viral dance after the Chess Olympiad win.
