Meet Gukesh Dommaraju, the 18-year-old chess prodigy who just made history by becoming the first teenager to win the World Chess Championship! Emotions ran high as Gukesh broke down after defeating China’s reigning champion, Ding Liren. He now stands as the second Indian to claim this prestigious title, following the legendary Viswanathan Anand. Born in Chennai, Gukesh started playing chess at the age of seven as an extra-curricular activity. His journey was filled with sacrifices—his father, an ENT surgeon, quit his practice to support his son's passion, travelling across the world on a tight budget. Friends and family came together to sponsor his tournaments when funds were low. Today, Gukesh holds several remarkable titles, ranking as the third-youngest Grandmaster and now the youngest-ever World Chess Champion. He envisions this win as the beginning of a "very, very long and successful career."
