Congrats to Gukesh Dommaraju, a titan of the sporting world today and the

youngest ever World Chess Champion. A surprising win with the black pieces sealed the match in the final round.

What Gukesh has done at age 18 cements his name in the annals of history with other great young athletes: Phelps, Ledecky, James. Just amazing stuff.

India’s 18-year-old prodigy Gukesh Dommaraju capped his meteoric rise by becoming the youngest world chess champion in history after defeating Ding Liren 7½-6½ in a tense championship in Singapore.

Russians are still strong, but there hasn’t been a Russian champ in a while.

Kindof a bummer that Hikaru or Caruana didn’t win the Candidates. Either could

Hikaru kind of choked away the last two candidates. He should have been Ding the first time.
