Reigning World Champion Gukesh To Play In Norway Chess 2026
The Indian star comes to Oslo as the youngest undisputed world champion in the history of the game. In 2024, Gukesh won the Candidates Tournament before going on to defeat then-World Champion Ding Liren, securing the world title at just 18 years old.
“I am really happy to take part in Norway Chess again, fighting against a very strong field as always, and looking forward to all the exciting games,” said Gukesh.
