FIDE CEO Sutovsky: Eighteen-year-old chess sensation D Gukesh stands on the brink of history as he prepares to face defending champion Ding Liren in the 14-round World Chess Championship beginning Monday. The young Indian has been hailed as a favorite by none other than the International Chess Federation (FIDE) CEO Emil Sutovsky, who believes Gukesh has more than a 50% chance of becoming the youngest-ever world champion.

Sutovsky, a former world No. 17, expressed his confidence in Gukesh during an interview with FIDE Chess on YouTube, stating, "He's (Gukesh) almost there and enters the match as favourite... It's definitely possible."

"His chances are not less than 50 per cent... I would say higher. So, yes, he seems to be very much focussed on that.
