Congratulations to Gukesh Dommaraju on becoming the new World Chess Champion! He's the youngest ever at 18 years old (Kasparov was 22 when he became champion).

Gukesh won the title by defeating Ding Liren in a grueling match. Magnus Carlsen declined to defend his title in 2023 after holding the title consecutively since 2013. Carlsen is acknowledged as the best chess player in the world, but says he is losing interest in classical chess tournaments.

Today, there is an enormous amount of preparation that has to be done before a tournament due to how deep computers are able to go in exploring theoretical lines. For this reason, Carlsen likes Fischer Random Chess (Chess960) where the placement of the back rank pieces is random. It eliminates the need to study chess theory.

Gukesh Dommaraju on shakin uusi maailmanmestari ja 18-vuotiaana selvästi nuorin mestari kautta aikojen.

Viimeiseen klassiseen peliin lähdettiin tasatilanteesta. Peli eteni loppupeliin, jossa molemmilla oli lähetti ja torni ja Gukeshilla 3 sotilasta Dingin 2 vastaan. Gukeshilla oli myös selvä aikaetu.

Peli ratkesi, kun Ding teki virheen, jonka myötä Gukesh sai pelkistettyä tilanteen 2 sotilasta vs 1 sotilas —asetelmaan ja Ding luovutti.

Und habe ich das richtig verstanden, dass Vincent Keymer Gukeshs Sekundant war bei dieser WM?
