Tata Steel Masters: The chess world is gearing up for an extraordinary battle as Norway’s Magnus Carlsen, the world’s highest-rated player, will take on the 18-year-old Gukesh Dommaraju, the youngest World Champion in the history of the game, in the upcoming Norway Chess 2025.

Gukesh made headlines last Thursday when he defeated China's Ding Liren 7.5-6.5 in a 14-game match in Singapore, securing the World Championship title and bringing it back to India for the first time since Viswanathan Anand’s reign was ended by Carlsen in Chennai in2013.

The prestigious tournament, set to take place in Stavanger from May 26 to June 6, promises one of the most highly anticipated matchups in chess history between Carlsen and the newly-crowned champion.
