Indian teen Dommaraju beats China’s Ding to become youngest world chess champion

After Ding wilted under stress and blundered in what some observers thought was a comfortable position, Gujarat won the game with the dark parts, winning with a final tally of 7.5-6.5.

Ringing, 32, slumped onto the table after realizing he had committed an final mistake that gave his rival the opportunity to strike back.

When Gukesh realized he was the new world champion, he cried out in grief and held his face in both arms.

In the viewing areas close to the playing industry, applause erupted from enthusiastic fans.

Magnanimous in triumph, Gukesh praised Ding, saying he “fought like a real hero”.

The suit was a 14-round long-time” historical” event with a prize fund of US$ 2.5 million.

World range one Magnus Carlsen, who had been world champion since 2013, relinquished his name in 2022, citing a lack of enthusiasm.

By winning the Candidates Tournament in April, Gukesh qualified.
