Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lauded teenage chess sensation Gukesh Dommaraju for his stunning victory over Norwegian World No. 1 and five-time World Champion, Magnus Carlsen, in the sixth round of the prestigious Norway Chess 2025 tournament.

The 19-year-old, who is also the reigning World Champion, defeated Carlsen in the classical format for the very first time in his career — a feat hailed across the Indian sporting landscape.

“An exceptional achievement by Gukesh!
