Gukesh Etches India's Name In Golden Letters In Chess History: AICF
Gukesh scripted history on Thursday after beating Ding Liren of China in the 14-game World Chess Championship final in Singapore. The 18-year-old from Chennai capitalised on a blunder by Ding in the winner-takes-all 14th game to dethrone the reigning champion, winning the match 7.5 to 6.5 to become only the second Indian, after five-time champion Viswanathan Anand, to win the World Chess Championship.
Congratulating Gukesh over his historic performance, AICF president Nitin Narang said, "Gukesh's victory is not just a milestone in his career but also etches India's name in golden letters in the history of chess. Throughout the tournament, he displayed remarkable focus and patience, which is truly inspiring. Gukesh has emerged as a role model for today's youth."
