India's Youngest Chess Prodigy Secures Historic Victory in Candidates Tournament, Applauded by Anand Mahindra.

At just 17 years old, Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh achieved a remarkable feat by winning the Candidates Chess Tournament, making him the youngest ever contender for the world title.

This accomplishment surpasses a milestone set four decades ago by Garry Kasparov, solidifying Gukesh's place in chess history as a prodigy on the rise.

Gukesh secured his triumph with a confident draw against American player Hikaru Nakamura in the final round of the tournament, amassing an impressive nine points out of a possible 14.

With this remarkable triumph, Gukesh has earned the coveted opportunity to challenge Ding Liren of China later this year for the world champion's title.
