Gukesh, 17, Overtakes Anand In Live Ratings, Becomes India's No.1 Chess Player
GM Misratdin Iskandarov: The 17-year-old Dommaraju Gukesh won two games in his second-round match with GM Misratdin Iskandarov in the first round of the FIDE World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan to surge past Viswanathan Anand in Live Rating and become the highest-ranked Indian chess player in the World.
The win in the first round on Thursday evening against Iskandarov (Elo 2559) helped him rise to 2755.9 in the live rating, taking him past Anand's rating of 2754, making him the second Indian player after Pentala Harikrishna in March 2016 to overtake Anand in live rating as India's No.1 chess player, a position the five-time World Champion has held for 37 years since 1986. Harikrishna was India's No.1 chess player for just one day as Anand won his game the next day and took back the position.
