Youthful Elegance: Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh Becomes Youngest Chess Champion
Singapore, [Date] - In a stunning turn of events, Indian chess sensation D Gukesh has made history by becoming the youngest-ever World Chess Champion, defeating Chinese opponent Ding Liren in the decisive Game 14 of the 2024 World Championship being held in Singapore.

This historic win marks a remarkable milestone for Indian chess, underscoring the country's growing prowess in the sport.
