The Boy Who Would Be King: Vishy Anand Shares Old Pic With World Chess Champion Gukesh
World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand: Five-time World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand shared an old picture with the youngest and current World Chess Champion D Gukesh and captioned the post 'the boy who would be king'.
Gukesh made history on Thursday by becoming the youngest-ever World Champion in chess, beating Ding Liren of China in the 14-game match 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 to win the World Chess Championship.
On Thursday, Anand congratulated the teenager on his historic success and termed it a proud moment for India and chess.
