From Chess-dot-com: 18-Year-Old Gukesh Becomes Youngest-Ever Undisputed Chess World Champion
18-year-old Indian GM Gukesh Dommaraju is the world champion after the defending title holder GM Ding Liren (32) from China collapsed in game 14 of the 2024 FIDE World Championship. Gukesh won 7.5-6.5, taking $1.35 million, after a game where Ding seemed to have a risk-free chance to press for a win but instead liquidated into a pawn-down endgame.
FIDE, stands for the Fédération Internationale des Échecs or the World Chess Federation in English. It is the governing body for chess on the world stage.
What do you do with your life when you achieve your dream at 18 years of age? When Ding won last year, he disappeared for several months, due to depression.
