Grandmaster left red-faced: Brutal blunder as new chess king crowned at just 18
India n grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju is the new world chess champion after a stunning blunder by his opponent in the last game of the 14-game series.
Gukesh has had a golden year, and played a key role in India’s win at the 45th International Chess Federation Chess Olympiad in Budapest. Even Magnus Carlsen, the most recognisable current player in chess and a five-time world champion, was older. When competing he usually wears a tilak — a smattering of white ash on his forehead in deference to his Hindu faith — to go with his suit.
