The FIDE World Chess Championship 2024, held in Singapore from November 25 to December 12, featured reigning champion Ding Liren defending his title against Indian prodigy Gukesh Dommaraju. The 14-game match ended 7½–6½ in Gukesh’s favor, making him the youngest undisputed World Chess Champion at 18. Gukesh, born in 2006 and representing India, earned his spot by winning the 2024 Candidates Tournament. The decisive 14th game saw Gukesh capitalize on a critical blunder by Ding to secure the title.
