🟢 At a Glance:
Indian chess prodigy D. Gukesh, just 19, defeated Magnus Carlsen — yes, that Magnus — in a classical chess game at Norway Chess 2025.
While Gukesh remained calm, humble, and slightly stunned, Carlsen rage-slammed the table and exited the venue faster than a pawn promotion in bullet chess.
This isn’t just a game result. It’s Indian chess’s RRR moment.
🧒 Who Is Gukesh, and Why Is This Huge?
- 🇮🇳 Dommaraju Gukesh, India’s youngest Grandmaster at age 12 (in 2019), is now 19.
