World Champion Gukesh Thanks Parents For Helping Him Achieve His Dream
World Champion Viswanathan Anand: On the day of his greatest triumph, Gukesh Dommaraju, the youngest World Chess Champion, thanked his parents Dr Rajnikanth and Dr Padma for the sacrifices they made to help him in his journey as a chess player.
Soon after he climbed up to the chess summit by beating Ding Liren of China in the World Chess Championship final match in China 7.5-6.5 by capitalising on a blunder by his opponent in the 14th and final classical game, Gukesh said his parents have made a lot of sacrifices to nurture his dream.
"My parents are both sports lovers but could not pursue their dreams. So, they decided that they would do their best to help me chase my dream in whichever field I chose. We do not come from a very well-off family so they had to make a lot of sacrifices to help me in his journey," said Gukesh during the post-match press conference.
