    Sports Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya: President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sports Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya and five-time World Champion Viswanathan Anand on Thursday congratulated 18-year-old D Gukesh in becoming the youngest world Chess Champion by beating Ding Liren of China in Singapore.

    Gukesh defeated Ding 7.5-6.5 by winning the 14th and last classical game of their World Championship Match, capitalising on a blunder by the Chinese to win a game that looked set for a draw.

    He became the 18th World Champion in the history of chess and broke the record held by Garry Kasparov of Russia who was 22 when he first won the title.
