Gukesh’s Rise to Prominence
Gukesh arrived at the championship as a favorite—he became a winner of the Candidates Tournament in Toronto and led India’s ‘Open’ team to victory at the 45th Chess Olympiad in Budapest. Having set her sight on replicating Viswanathan Anand’s achievement of becoming the second Indian to achieve world champion in chess, a goal of a lifetime is the 18-year-old.
