17-year-old Gukesh D makes chess history

Featured is the key game 17-year-old Gukesh D won which propelled him as the sole leader in the 2024 FIDE Candidates. His victory in the penultimate round against Alireza Firouzja gave him a narrow half point lead over Nakamura, Caruana & Nepomniachtchi. Gukesh D, India's #1 ranked chess player, would maintain that lead after the 14th and final round was complete. Gukesh finished with 9 points, and made history by becoming the youngest challenger ever for a world chess championship title. Gukesh D will soon challenge World Chess Champion Ding Liren.

    Delighted to see Gukesh win it. He’s such a humble, polite, likeable and gifted young man.

    Incredible spirit by Gukesh. The fact that he lost against the same player earlier in the tournament, after being in the winning position, due to time pressure. And then finding himself in a deja vu like scenario in the penultimate game, only to held his nerve and convert, shows his tenacity.

    For me the most amazing part is when he said in the post match interview when asked a question, that for him, if he had to point out one moment when he felt he can really do it, was after his loss in the 7th round!! Because after that loss he felt at his absolute best and that loss really motivated him to give his best!! This speaks volumes about his mental resilience and his composure, and for me that is what separated him from others.

    It's remarkable just how mature and confident Gukesh's games have been. I am excited for the Liren - Gukesh match. Chess has been called the gentleman's game, while those who are in this world know that it's also filled with Ego and drama - but I feel like this matchup actually reflects this old sentiment. Both carry a cool demeanour, but a tumultuous storm rages within them.

    My rule of thumb when playing chess is, the less pieces on the board (especially the rooks) the more my king will try to centralise itself as and when I can.... Otherwise I leave him on G1 or C1..... And only move if I calculate a threat within a few moves ...... Man I love this game, and this channel 🥰

I speak from the white players perspective, assuming they still have control of the board... Dang I love this game, so many tactics and possibilities that completely change each move thats made.....
