The stage is set for an epic battle in the world of chess as Indian prodigy Gukesh Dommaraju gears up to challenge reigning champion Ding Liren of China for the title of undisputed world chess champion. The 18-year-old chess sensation admitted to feeling “some nerves” ahead of the best-of-14 series set to begin on Monday in Singapore.
Gukesh, who became the youngest-ever world championship challenger after his stellar performance at the Candidates tournament in Toronto, is determined to give his best and make history by surpassing Garry Kasparov as the youngest world champion.

Will Gukesh make history and claim the title, or will Ding Liren prove his mettle once again? Chess enthusiasts around the world are eagerly awaiting the outcome of this highly anticipated showdown.
