Chess World Champion: Teen sensation Dommaraju Gukesh continues to etch his name into chess history, securing his fourth classical victory at the 2025 Norway Chess tournament.

In a thrilling Round 9 encounter, the youngest-ever Chess World Champion defeated China’s formidable Wei Yi, climbing to 14.5 points and narrowing the gap between him and tournament leader Magnus Carlsen to just half a point.

Gukesh’s performance has been a blend of tactical brilliance and calm under pressure, a trait rarely seen at such a young age on the global stage. His latest win saw him navigate a sharp middle game with surgical precision, outmaneuvering Wei Yi in a complex endgame that showcased his deep positional understanding.
