Dommaraju Gukesh, born in 2006, is already a chess sensation. At the age of 12 years and 7 months, Gukesh became the second-youngest grandmaster in history, only narrowly missing out on Sergey Karjakin’s record. Gukesh’s rise to prominence has been swift, marked by his incredible performance at the 2022 Chess Olympiad, where he led the Indian team to a bronze medal. In the event, Gukesh outperformed several top-ranked grandmasters and made headlines with his remarkable games.
