World Chess Championship Match: The All-India Chess Federation (AICF) president Nitin Narang while congratulating D. Gukesh on becoming the youngest-ever World Champion has highlighted the role of the expert team he has assembled for helping him achieve success.

The 18-year-old Gukesh defeated China's Ding Liren in the 14th and final game of the 2024 World Chess Championship Match at Resort World Sentosa in Singapore on Thursday to become the 18th World Champion in the history of the sport. He also became the second Indian after five-time World Champion Viswanathan Anand to win the title.

Gukesh broke the four-decade-old record of chess legend Garry Kasparov, who won the title in 1985 at the age of 22 years, 6 months, and 27 days.
