D Gukesh has won the World Chess Championship 2024, beating Ding Liren in the final and 14th game of what has been a sensational contest.
The 18-year-old, with this feat, has become the youngest-ever world champion as he outclassed the reigning champion. Ding Liren, given his experience, had a slight edge entering into the 14th game after the 13th showdown had ended in a draw as well. But the young Indian kept his nerve to beat Ding Liren 7-6 and pull off one of the most monumental feats in the history of chess.
