Gukesh aims to become the world’s youngest chess champion

The FIDE World Chess Championship 2024 is set to begin on November 25 in Singapore. India’s 18-year-old challenger D Gukesh will take on reigning world champion Ding Liren.

The match will be played over a period of three weeks, comprising 14 classical games and four rest days. The first player to get to 7.5 points will be crowned the champion of the 2024 edition. If the players are tied on points after the 14 games, tiebreaks will be played on December 14 to decide the winner.

Gukesh, recently has risen to number #5 in world ranking and was utterly dominant when he clinched the Candidates’ title earlier this April, that qualified him to take on Liren. Whereas Liren has fallen to World No.23 due to string of some average performances in the past year.

The Chennai lad has already scripted history by becoming the youngest winner of the prestigious Candidates tournament at the age of 17, by way of which he has qualified for the championship match.
