Gukesh Dommaraju became the youngest player to win the men’s Candidates chess tournament after a draw against Hikaru Nakamura on a nailbiting final day of the event.

The 17-year-old effectively wrapped up victory in the tournament after American Fabiano Caruana blundered a winning position against Russia’s Ian Nepomniachtchi to be held to a draw.
Gukesh’s draw with the black pieces put him on 9/14 with Nakamura, Nepomniachtchi and Caruana finishing on 8.5/14. The previous youngest winner of a men’s Candidates tournament was Garry Kasparov, who was 20 when he prevailed in 1984, a year before sealing the world champion title against fellow Russian Anatoly Karpov.

there's no such thing called "the men's Candidates". It's called the Open section.

The editor is definitely a disgrace. This is an open section that anyone can try to qualify and participate. It is not a men candidates and Judit Polgar has participated in the 2007 world candidates against men. Just stop trying to be correct and tell the fact

India emerging as top chess destination in the world. Pragg, Gukesh, Erigaisi ,Vidit , Vaishali, made it happen 🎉

@SK-hs4fp Ай бұрын

I'm Indian and I'm happy to see Gukesh reach here. In the future, I'm sure that Pragg, Arjun Erigaisi, Vidit etc will also do well. But i don't want it to become like cricket today. If you pick the top ten teams in cricket, you'd probably have 5 or 6 from India and the remaining 4 or 5 from the rest of the world. It sounds great if a future candidates consisted of 6 players from India and just 2 from everywhere else, but that'd be no fun.

Gukesh Dommaraju has now the third highest FIDE chess rating ever (2847), after Magnus Carlsen (2882) and Garry Kasparov (2851). Huge congrats! Correction: 2847 was his performance rating for the tournament, his overall rating will be 2763 which will make him #6 in the world among active players.

@user-xy2mh1gt3b Ай бұрын

You have totally wrong numbers...

@atulbesra822 Ай бұрын

2847 was his performance rating for the tournament. That earned him 20 elo points. So his live rating increased from 2743 to 2763. He is now 2763 and world number 6. Players can clock very high performance ratings in one tournament. Some have even achieved performance ratings of above 3000 in tournaments. But that does not become their overall rating.

@user-qn9mb9dh6q Ай бұрын

I know rating inflation exists but not like this 😉.

@joep1551 Ай бұрын

Even if that (2847) was his actual Elo, it still would be less than Fabi's 3rd place all time high of (2851.3) .
