The 18th World Chess Champion is 18 Years Old!
Congratulations to the new classical world chess champion: Gukesh Dommaraju. The 18 year-old has become The youngest Undisputed Classical World Chess Champion in history. An unprecedented accomplishment! He leads a group of young players born after the turn of the millennium who are now making chess's world stage their own.
To become The World Champion, Gukesh beat 17th World Champion Ding Liren, at one time the world #3 for years and considered one of the top players in the world, he emerged from the pandemic struggling to replicate his earlier performances. Ding put up a tough fight, and did better than many expected, but chess is unforgiving and a mistake late in the last game of the match has cost him the title.
The young champion Gukesh is the second player from India to become the undisputed world champion after the 15th world champion Viswanathan Anand.
Ramblings below the cut ✂️
In chess there are two main mountains: The classical world championship and the top spot on the rating list. Gukesh for himself, for India and for the new generation has claimed the world championship. Gukesh sits at #5 in the world on the rating list with a rating of 2776.8. This puts him behind World #4 Arjun Erigaisi, another Indian prodigy, age 21 who has rocketed up the rating lists in the last year earning a rating 2800.6, 15th highest ever!
Gukesh and Arjun are joined by Nodirbek Abdusattorov age 20, from Uzbekistan world#6 (2767.6) and Alireza Firouzja the 21 year old, world #7 (2763), originally from Iran now residing in France and identifying as French after leaving Iran due to their policy of not letting their players play against those from Israel. Alireza Firouzja is worth particular note as up until today he was considered the top of the new generation. Dubbed the prince of chess. Alireza who has so far peaked at #2 in the world, with a rating of 2804 (back in late 2021) and notably has the highest ability of the new generation at speed chess. Which has emerged as a new arena of play, rivaling that of the classical time format. Alireza has struggled with high pressure events, which has been the seperating factor between him and the Indian stars.
Ahead of our young rising stars are
World #3
37 year old Hikaru Nakamura (current: 2802, peak: 2816)
A top 10 player for many years, Hikaru would pivot to twich and youtube, and speed chess events for a few years and he would emerge as perhaps the most popular chess player in the current media landscape. This gave him the security to return to Classical Chess and surge to the top 2 or 3 where he has stayed for quite some time.
World #2 Fabiano Caruana (Current: 2803.4, peak: 2844)
The quiet 32 year old American has had a legendary career so far. He lost the 2018 world championship (the first one I watched live!) in the tiebreak portion and has since not had a chance to compete for the title again. In terms of rating lists and tournament performance Fabiano Caruana is the definitive #2 player of the past 15 years.
Lastly of course, is the World #1
Magnus Carlsen
The 34 year old Norwegian, currently rated 2831, peak rating of 2882
From 2013-2023 he was The World Champion, and has been the #1 player on the rating list since 2011, not once leaving that spot since. During the 2010's Magnus would come and go with speed chess, almost always winning, like usual, when he did play. He pivoted to online speed chess events during the pandemic and has more or less elected to stick with that. Magnus vacated the world championship in 2023 after deciding he was done being bored and frustrated with a format he had complained about for a decade. Magnus has more or less retired from classical play, playing only the occasional event and focusing on other endeavors and speed chess events. To simplify a bit, Magnus has basically run out of things to do in chess so he's doing other things and playing chess when he feels like it.
When Magnus vacated the title he did so after learning his challenger would be Ian Nepomniachtchi one of the best in the world but someine Magnus had definitively beat in in the 2022 World Championship. Whats interesting is Magnus had said he'd defend the title if Alireza was the one who won the right to challenge him. Magnus has maintained a love for Alireza's playing style and high praise for his talent. Saying multiple times how much he enjoys watching him play and playing against him. Especially in speed chess. So of course, with Magnus commentating on the 2024 world title match, and Gukesh's win. Magnus' co-hosts have asked him if he's interested in trying to get a match with Gukesh and Magnus said no. Personally I think this stems more from Magnus just disliking the title format than anything else.
Still! That leaves interesting questions and contests to come! For the world champion, he wont need to defend his title until 2026. He'll be 20, and likely an even stronger player. But both his peers and his seniors,, especially Fabiano Caruana are challengers who will always pose a threat.
As for the rating list.
1,2&3 are all 30+
4,5,6&7 are all under 25
Its going to be very interesting to see when the kids pass the vets. Eventually it'll be interesting to see just how high these new players peak and the change they have on the game.
It'll be interesting to watch the battles they have with each other and the occasional battles they have with Magnus who remains the best in the world. Be it in speed chess or the occasional classical game.

[ad_1] Humpy Koneru, the 2024 FIDE Women’s World Rapid Champion (PC: FIDE_chess/X) Koneru Humpy ensured that Indian chess players ended the year on a high by winning the world rapid championship in New York, even as Arjun Erigaisi’s chances of qualifying for the Candidates through the FIDE Circuit ended following a disappointing final day. It was Humpy’s second world rapid title after 2019. She finished runner-up in 2023. Humpy won the event, dubbed the Wall Street Gambit in dramatic fashion, by clinching the 11th and last round game. Seven players, including Humpy and India’s Dronavalli Harika, were tied on 7.5 points heading into the final game. While the other six played out draws, Humpy defeated Indonesia’s Irene Kharisma Sukandar with black pieces. That made her the sole player with 8.5 points. Harika and six others finished on eight points. She finished sixth on tie-break score. It was a special success for Humpy. For long the flag-bearer of women’s chess in India and the first woman from the country to become a Grandmaster, the 37-year-old mother of one did not participate in the Olympiad in Budapest, where India’s men and women won gold. Winning this rapid title was a big redemption for her. It was an addition to the success stories scripted by players from the country in 2024, of which D Gukesh’s world championship win is the biggest one. “I’m very excited. I was expecting it to be a very tough day, like a tie-breaker or something,” Humpy told the FIDE YouTube channel. “I came to know about it only when the arbiter told me. It was quite a tense moment. It seemed my game was headed for a draw. But my opponent allowed my king to come out which gave me a good pawn structure.” For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Humpy Koneru in action (PC: FIDE_chess/X) Humpy had lost her first round match to Amina Karibekova of Kazakhstan with white pieces. She kept getting better and was equal on points with the leaders after eight rounds. She clinched the issue by winning all three games on the final day. In fact, she won her last four games. “Off the board, it was difficult for me because of the time difference. I literally didn’t sleep after coming here. It was not easy to play without much rest, but I’m happy that I managed to do it. It’s hard to compare this with 2019. That was my first title and it was very special. This win actually came as a surprise because I didn’t have a great year,” said Humpy. Arjun loses the plot on final day It was a disappointing ending in the open section for Arjun. He started the day tied on points with the leader after nine rounds and was in third spot on tie-break score. He suffered a defeat against Alexander Grischuk of Russia in the 10th round, won the next and could only manage draws in the last two to finish on nine points. This made him fifth. Russian teenager Volodar Murzin won the title with 10 points. Arjun had to win this to secure a Candidates berth. He seemed to be on course, before the final-day meltdown. The 21-year-old can still make it to the eight-player event through other channels. R Praggnanandhaa was the only other Indian in top 20 at 17th. The blitz championship to be played over two days will begin after a break on Sunday.

Dec 21, 2024 07:53 AM IST According to the rankings, D Gukesh is currently ranked fifth in the world and Arjun Erigaisi is fourth, which makes him the highest-ranked Indian chess player. D Gukesh scripted history recently, becoming the youngest-ever world chess champion at the age of 18. The Indian grandmaster achieved the feat by defeating defending champion Ding Liren at the World Chess Championship in Singapore. Gukesh notched three wins against two for Liren, and nine draws in the 14 classical rounds. D Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi after the latter won the final round match against GM Jan Subelj of Slovenia at the 45th FIDE Chess Olympiad, in Budapest.(AP) Both Gukesh and Liren battled hard for supremacy as the match reached the decisive fourteenth game. In the decider, it looked like it would be a draw, with Liren trying to force out a tie-breaker. But a massive blunder by the Chinese grandmaster in the 55th move saw him resign and concede defeat to Gukesh. Despite his world championship title, Gukesh is still not the best ranked Indian chess player. According to the rankings, Gukesh is currently ranked fifth in the world and Arjun Erigaisi is fourth, which makes him the highest-ranked Indian chess player. So it wasn't a surprise that when Gukesh won in Singapore, fans began to hope for a possible title face-off with Erigaisi. Speaking on an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit, India legend Viswanathan Anand weighed in on such a possibility. “5-10 percent chance it can happen,” he said. Erigaisi had an eventful 2024, which saw him win the WR Chess Masters Cup, the Stepan Avagyan Memorial and the Menorca Open. He also got individual gold on board three at the Chess Olympiad, bagging ten points in 11 games. A chess prodigy, he earned the grandmaster title at the age of 14 years, 11 months, 13 days. In September this year, he became India’s top-rated player and in December, got his peak rating of 2801 which also makes him the fifteenth-highest rated player in history and second Indian to ever get past 2800 after Anand. If Erigaisi does end up challenging Gukesh for the world championship title, it will be a treat for chess fans. Stay updated with the...
