Dommaraju Gukesh, aged just 18, is the youngest world chess champion in history. The Indian wins the world championship duel against defending champion Ding Liren 7:5:6:5.
Gukesh benefited from a huge blunder by the Chinese player in the 14th and final match, when it already looked like a draw and a decisive tie-break was on the cards.
Gukesh is the second Indian world champion after Viswanathan Anand (2007 to 2013). He will receive the lion's share of the prize money of 2.5 million dollars for his success in Singapore. Last year, Liren was the first Chinese player to win the title against Russia's Jan Nepomniashchi.
